Modified: libexec/ypxfr ypxfr_main.c
Log:
- Fix error reporting when checking order number via NIS: we return zero
on a failure, but if we're checking a corrupt map we could also get back
a zero from ypserv without really encountering any actual error. Flag this
condition and generate an meaningful error message.
- Fix transmission of ypxfr_clear to ypserv: error checking was wrong
and we sending YPXFR_YPERR as an error status instead of YPXFR_CLEAR.
- To help avoid a race condition (or at least reduce the likelyhood of
it occuring), use rename() to move a newly transfered map into place
instead of unlink()ing the old one first and then renaming. Da man page
sez that rename should do the unlink() for us. This prevents ypserv
from returning 'no such map in domain' when asked to query a map which
ypxfr has just unlink()ed but not yet replaced.
