Giles Lean <giles@nemeton.com.au> on the tech-net@NetBSD.ORG mailing
list. The rationale for this is that folks may be used to rdisc(8)
or in.rdisc(8) on other systems, and may not realize that NetBSD
implements ICMP Router Discovery in the routed(8) program.
- Add some prototypes and definitions for types as necessary,
wrapped in __NetBSD__ to maintain portability.
- Explicit size types in structures that go out the wire.
- RCS id police.
map. SunOS ypservers maps place the host name in the key and the val,
but HP-UX and NetBSD ypservers maps place the hostname only in the
key, leaving the val empty. Since there is no clear standard for this map,
best to play it safe.
a boot string for firmware that can do this, such as the SPARC and
the sun3 models. It is currently silently ignored on all other
hardware now, however. The MD function "boot()" has been changed to
also take a char *.
started if the directory /var/yp exists. Now, ypbind, ypserv, and
rpc.yppasswdd are started like other daemons; there are flags variables
for these programs. To disable them, set the variables to "NO", otherwise,
their contents are passed as flags.

if this program is run on the YP server. Note, local passwd database
operations can still be performed by passing the -l flag.

features of extent map allocation.

Some cleanup of the remote tape interface, but a lot more is needed.
Ideally, we'd have a "rmt" library which provides a remote tape API
including open, read, write, close, and ioctl. This is useful not
only for mt, but also for programs like tar, cpio, pax, backup and
restore.
