A patch release for Sun workstations is now available for beta testers.
If everything proceeds smoothly, this release will go to the field next
week.
Changes in this patch are as follows:
o xzwrite has been fixed not to dump core when trying
to send a message.
o synctree now properly removes files.
o A new version of pageview from Sun that deals correctly with
twm has been included.
o /etc/inetd.conf has been moved to /etc/inet, and a symlink
now points from the old location to the new.
o The sendmail daemon is once again not run on startup.
o The cm port has been enabled in inetd.conf so that Sun's cm
program can work. I'm not sure it does though.
o strings.h was added to /usr/athena/include to facilitate
compiling programs in the source tree which depend on it.
o /usr/athena/bin/talk has been added to the Suns to supercede
the broken version Sun ships. talk will now execute a generally
useful version of talk; Sun's version (useful for talking to
other brain-damaged Suns) may be accessed by running "otalk"
instead of talk.
o lpquota has been fixed so as not to crash the print quota
server.
o A new version of tail from Sun has been included so that
you can now tail more than the last 4K of a file.
o kshd now properly defines the PATH environment variable,
enabling rcp to function correctly.
Question, problems, or complaints may be addressed to me (dot@mit) or
the release team.
