19-May-1997: glibc fixes from Red Hat. 13-May-1997: Fixes for record-route in ping. (Dave Smart, dsmart@nastg.gsfc.nasa.gov) 12-May-1997: Merged inetd, ping, and rpc packages together to form "base". 05-Apr-1997: Added configure script to generate MCONFIG. Don't build rpcgen if glibc is in use, since glibc has its own. 08-Mar-1997: Split from full NetKit package. Generated this change log from NetKit's. 07-Mar-1997: Fix rpcgen bug and redo suppression of unused variable warnings. (Frank Heldt, heldt.mahr@t-online.de) Fixed group handling in inetd in case it's run manually. Ignore SIGPIPE in inetd to prevent denial of service. Posixized signal handling in inetd. (Gerald Britton, gbritton@whitman.gmu.edu) 29-Dec-1996 NetKit-0.09 released. Ping exits with code 1 if it gets no response. (Donnie Barnes, djb@redhat.com) Assorted alpha/glibc patches. (Erik Troan, ewt@redhat.com) Assorted bug fixes from Debian. (Peter Tobias, tobias@et-inf.fho-emden.de) Hardened programs against DNS h_length spoofing attacks. Use inet_aton() everywhere instead of inet_addr(). inetd now supports a -q option to set the socket listen queue length. Minor hacks to rpcgen to cause it to generate code that compiles more cleanly. Fix bug in -N rpcgen output. (Frank Heldt, heldt.mahr@t-online.de) Fix to ping to avoid an endless sleep problem on links that can corrupt packets. (Yury Shevchuk, sizif@botik.ru) ping understands new RFC1812 ICMP dest unreachable codes. (Alan Cox) ping drops root after startup, but (theoretically) only when it's known to be safe to do so. (Alan Cox) 22-Aug-1996 NetKit-B-0.08 released. rpcgen now puts some standard includes in its generated c. (almost) everything now compiles with lots of warnings turned on. ping -l (preload flood) requires uid 0. ping sets SO_BROADCAST so pinging the broadcast address works. Clear environment in setuid programs to protect against library bugs. 25-Jul-1996 NetKit-B-0.07A released. 23-Jul-1996 NetKit-B-0.07 released. Integrated a collection of patches that had been lurking on the net, including the 256-ptys support for telnetd and passive mode ftp. Major security fixes, including to fingerd, lpr, rlogin, rsh, talkd, and telnetd. Do *not* use the sliplogin from earlier versions of this package, either. Much of the code builds without libbsd.a or bsd includes. Massive code cleanup. Almost everything compiles clean with gcc -Wall now. rusers and rusersd do not; patches to rpcgen to fix this would be appreciated if anyone feels like it. New maintainer: David A. Holland, dholland@hcs.harvard.edu date not known NetKit-B-0.06 released. ping uses no a correct minimum packet size (John Richardson) date not known NetKit-B-0.05 released. date not known NetKit-B-0.04 released. Changed inetd to store pid-file in /var/run. date not known NetKit-B-0.03 released.
