The remaining routines are not related to "secure" RPC. Removing the no-longer-provided routines from this page is an important step and I'm happy to see this change go in either way. We should probably have a note in DESCRIPTION explaining the situation, but we ought to just move these to a more appropriate page in a subsequent commit.

is this definitely true? i'm far from an expert on NIS (and haven't used it for 20+ years) but my understanding was that while these routines technically don't require Secure RPC to work, the only purpose of the "netid" stuff is to interact with Secure RPC.
it is a bit odd that the rpc_secure manpage now doesn't include anything involving Secure RPC itself, but i was wondering if it makes more sense to remove these entirely.

I'm not sure - indeed, the second part of your comment is what prompted my note. If these were only for / used by "secure RPC" perhaps they should just be removed too. Go ahead with this change for now and we can come back to that question?

from grepping the source tree, it seems like lib/librpcsvc/yp_update.c uses at least host2netname(), but that function also seems to be specific to Secure RPC and is probably broken anyway without keyserv... still, i'm inclined to leave these here for now and look at removing them in a separate commit.

remove DES from rpc_soc, and remove the Xr to rpc_secure since the two manpages
now have nothing in common.
