Unifdef -DPASSWD_IGNORE_COMMENTS. This wasn't really optional and
we have enough pseudo-options already.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Allow comments and blank lines as advertised in passwd(5).

PR: 12828
Submitted by: Yasuhiro Fukuma <yasuf@big.or.jp>

Ignore errors from chflags. This makes it possible to make installworld
with DESTDIR set to an NFS-mounted file system.

Remove useless `BINOWN=root' now that it is the default.

Fix LIBDIR (for aout/ELF).

Fixed missing dependencies on headers generated by rpcgen, as usual.
Removed bogus dependencies of generated .c files on generated headers.
Sorted sources lists.

Fixed `make -jN' for large N, as usual.

Changes for KTH KerberosIV.
Also quieten -Wall a bit.

Modify passwd and chpass to use new AF_LOCAL RPC interface instead of
old kludged-up 'yppasswd_comm' support.

If an administrator somehow manages to break the hardlinks
on chpass & passwd and turn the links into individual files
with the schg flag set, make install will fail to install all
of the proper link

If an administrator somehow manages to break the hardlinks
on chpass & passwd and turn the links into individual files
with the schg flag set, make install will fail to install all
of the proper links.

Fixed by removing the schg flag on all of the links before installing.

Closes PR# 2040.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$

Adds login class support for local & nis passwords:
- minpasswordlen=n override minimum password length for class.
- passwordperiod=n[smhdwy] auto-set next password change date.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.

I haven't had a single contraversial commit all week, so what the
heck. Watch through our hidden camera, ladies and gentlemen,
as this one-line addition to the syslog output generates hundreds
of thousands of lines of email in response, all from people
decrying the evils of electronic noise pollution! :-)

What this change does, simply speaking, is syslog it every time
someone changes their local password. I need this at a local ISP to
tell whether people are reacting to expires in a timely fashion or
not. To disable it, uncomment -DLOGGING in the Makefile.

If your users change their passwords so often as to fill your logfile,
then you may also have another administrative problem to deal with.

Merge in changes to support the new rpc.yppasswdd(8) and fix a few bugs.

Merge in changes to support the new rpc.yppasswdd(8) and fix a few bugs.

In passwd(1):

- Gut most of yp_passwd.c and leave only a few things that aren't common
to pw_yp.c.

- Add support for -d and -h flags to select domains and NIS server hosts
to use when updating NIS passwords. This allows passwd(1) to be used
for changing NIS passwords from machines that aren't configured as
NIS clients. (This is mostly to allow passwd(1) to work on NIS master
servers that aren't configured as clients -- an NIS server need not
necessarily be configured as a client itself.)

NOTE: Realize that having the ability to specify a domain and hostname
lets you use passwd(1) (and chpass(1) too) to submit update requests
to yppasswd daemons running on remote servers in remote domains which
you may not even be bound to. For example, my machine at home is not
an NIS client of the servers on the network that I manage, yet I can
easily change my password at work using my FreeBSD box at home by doing:
'passwd -d work.net.domain -h any.nis.server.on.my.net wpaul'. (Yes,
I do use securenets at work; temporarily modified my securenets file
to give my home system access.) Some people may not be too thrilled
with this idea. Those who don't like this feature can recompile passwd(1)
and chpass(1) with -DPARANOID to restrict the use of these flags to
the superuser.

(Oh, I should be adding proper securenets support to ypserv(8) and
rpc.yppasswdd(8) over the weekend.)

- Merge in changes to allow root on the NIS master server to bypass
authentication and change any user's NIS password. (The super-user
on the NIS master already has privileges to do this, but doing it
through passwd(1) is much easier than updating the maps by hand.)
Note that passwd(1) communicates with rpc.yppasswdd(8) via a UNIX
domain socket instead of via standard RPC/IP in this case.

- Update man page.

In chpass(1):

- Fix pw_yp.c to work properly in environments where NIS client
services aren't available.

- Use realloc() instead of malloc() in copy_yp_pass() and copy_local_pass().

- Fix silly bug in copy_yp_pass(); some of the members of the passwd
structure weren't being filled in correctly. (This went unnoticed
for a while since the old yppasswdd didn't allow changes to the
fields that were being botched.)

- chpass(1) now also allows the superuser on the NIS master server to
make unrestricted changes to any user's NIS password information.

- Use UNIX domain comm channel to rpc.yppasswdd(8) when run by the
superuser on the NIS master. This allows several new things:

o superuser can update an entire master.passwd.{byname,byuid} entry
o superuser can update records in arbitrary domains using -d flag to
select a domain (before you could only change the default domain)
o superuser can _add_ records to the NIS master.passwd maps, provided
rpc.yppasswdd(8) has been started with the -a flag (to do this,
the superuser must force NIS operation by specifying the -y flag
to chpass(1) along with -a, i.e. 'chpass -y -a 'foo:::::::::')

- Back out the 'chpass -a <new password entry> breaks with NIS' fix
from the last revision and fix it properly this time. The previous
revision fixed the immediate problem but broke NIS operation in
some cases.

- In edit.c, be a little more reasonable about deciding when to
prevent the shell field from being changed.

Submitted by Charles Owens <owensc@enc.edu>, who said:

"I made a minor (one-line) modification to chpass, with regards
to whether or not it allows the changing of shells. In the 2.0.5 code,
field changing follows the settings specified in the "list" structure
defined in table.c . For the shell, though, this is ignored. A quick
look in edit.c showed me why, but I don't understand why it was written as
such. The logic was

if shell is standard shell, allow changing

I changed it to

if shell changing is allowed (per table.c) and it is a standard shell
OR if uid=0, then allow changing."

Makes sense to me.

- Update man page.

Point passwd to the new locations of kpasswd.c and kadm.h.

Add pw_yp.c to SRCS. This is code that was moved to chpass, but passwd still
needs it to build.

Remove bogus ${DESTDIR}s from LINKS.

Keep DPADD up to date with LDADD.

bsd.prog.mk's install rule can't handle schg'ed links, so ugly
beforeinstall and afterinstall rules are required.

Remove the ypchfn/ypchsh stuff from passwd and leave just the
yppasswd support. The rest is moving into chpass.

Merge RELENG_2_0_5 into HEAD

Remove references to yppasswd_xdr.c: the stuff in this file already exists
in librpcsvc. Add -lrpcsvc to LDADD instead.

Remove usage of LINKS and LN_FLAGS=-s, this does not do the correct thing
for symbolic links when $DESTDIR is set.

Add afterinstall: target to handle symbolic link creation.

Changed passwd's Makefile to use the built-in LINKS mechanism to create
the symlinks for yppasswd & friends (we still can't use hard links
because passwd is installed immutable). This would have been simpler
if the LN_FLAGS variable hadn't chosen to wait until now before leaping
out of the /usr/share/mk directory and biting me in the ass. (And thus,
I was enlightened.)
