- keep the case consistent between the actual name and what's referenced.
e.g, if it's `foo', don't use '.Nm Foo' at the start of a sentence.
- remove unnecessary `.Nm foo' after the first occurrence (except for
using `.Nm ""' if there's stuff following, or for the 2nd and so on
occurrences in a SYNOPSIS
- use Sx, Ic, Li, Em, Sq, and Xr as appropriate
use of non-exported function __ivaliduser{,_sa}().
we cannot make __ivaliduser{,_sa}() static yet, since doing that would choke
compiled lpd binaries. we should do it on next libc major version bump.
added a memo on lib/libc/shlib_version.
this changes function prototype for __ivalid*.
This commit breaks binary compatibility for __ivalid*. I believe this can be
forgiven due to the following:
- this is not really exported function. no function prototype is in headers.
function name starts with underbars. No third-party applications are
expected to use it.
- the function was introduced very recently, when rcmd.c was made IPv6-ready.
- the only customer in NetBSD tree is lpd.
(lpd.c) sync with rcmd.c change.
and use these timeout in the lpq, lpd and lprm programs.
these stop hung remote printers that accept tcp connections but do
not process jobs from hanging the whole system and letting the sysadmin
have a clue about what is going on with this rogue printer.
- add a -r flag to lpd to allow `of' filters for remote jobs.
i know there are ways around this, but i just don't care.
- add a -f flag to lpf to add missing carriage returns.
useful when printing UNIX files to an, eg, LaserWriter that wants CR's
as well as LF's in raw text. stair-stepped text is no fun.
- implement child process accounting: we just have a limit on the number
of children we can have (settable by the sysadmin), and we sleep when
this number is reached. this can reduce malicious not-so-malicious
attacks on the print server by a rogue remote client..
- use setproctitle() where appropriate so the sysadmin has a clue about
what each of the lpd's here are doing.
this was useful to help diagnose a problem (that the above child process
accounting change reduces the lossages of) where a rogue client was
attempting "lpq" operations on one stuck queue in rapid succession,
causing the lpd server to be extremely slow, due to the large number
of lpd processes running.
i have been running these changes in production for about a year.
- ensure hostname from gethostname() is nul-terminated in all cases
- minor KNF
- use MAXHOSTNAMELEN over various other values/defines
- be safe will buffers that hold hostnames
