Fix up issue with "make dist"

2014-12-07T15:34:31+00:00

Add mention of new files, remove mention of old files,
and cause "make dist" to create something very similar to
the current distributions.

systemd files are not currently included in "make dist" and some
files generated by "rpcgen" are (though they aren't in official
distribution).

nfs-utils: Remove all uses of AI_ADDRCONFIG

2010-11-01T12:05:14+00:00

It was reported that, if only "lo" is up,

  mount.nfs 127.0.0.1:/export /mount

fails with "Name or service not known".

"man 3 getaddrinfo" says this:

  If hints.ai_flags includes the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag, then IPv4
  addresses are returned in the list pointed to by res only if the
  local system has at least one IPv4 address configured, and IPv6
  addresses are only returned if the local system has at least
  one IPv6 address configured.

The man page oversimplifies here.  A review of glibc shows that
getaddrinfo(3) explicitly ignores loopback addresses when deciding
whether an IPv4 or IPv6 address is configured.

This behavior around loopback is a problem not just for mount.nfs,
but also for RPC daemons that have to start up before a system's
networking is fully configured and started.  Given the history of
other problems with AI_ADDRCONFIG and the unpredictable behavior it
introduces, let's just remove it everywhere in nfs-utils.

This fix addresses:

nfs-utils: introduce new statd testing simulator

2010-01-12T10:55:20+00:00

rpc.statd is often prone to subtle, difficult to detect breakage. When
it has problems, they're often invisible and only manifest themselves
as failed lock recovery.

This program is intended to function as part of a test harness for
statd. It's a multicall binary that serves as a synthetic NSM client
program, and a daemon that can simulate lockd for purposes of testing
the NSM to NLM downcall.

A new top level "tests/" directory is also added to nfs-utils to start
as a repository for automated tests of nfs-utils components.
