8.3.10 will be released tonight (one day later than planned--sorry,
the holiday yesterday threw us off, I think). As before, this patch
release only affects machines running 8.3; the public 8.3 release will
come later. Changes in this patch release include:
* BIND has been reverted to 8.1.2 to prevent recurrances of
the Hesiod problem we've been seeing recently.
* The add documentation doesn't describe the nonexistent -v
any more.
* add and athdir can recognize sun4bin again on Solaris.
* If you attach an NFS locker using a cname, the default
mountpoint will use the cname instead of the canonicalized
name.
* sendmail.cf fixes:
- deals properly with ".LOCAL".
- Removes . appended by hostname canonicalization.
- Can accept mail addressed to cname of machine
- Points helpfile and statfile at right places.
- No longer uses the S flag for local mail delivery.
* sendmail doesn't do hesiod lookups on the recipient ID.
* More bashrc fixes. The add and xresize aliases should work.
bashrc now sets the error message formatting variables on
IRIX (parallel to a recent cshrc change). A conditional on
$MACHTYPE was fixed to $HOSTTYPE.
* The central cshrc makes a bind alias telling people to use
bindkey instead.
* We don't track /usr/prototype_usr local on IRIX any more.
* lprng changes:
- lpr suggests "lpr -A none" if you have no tickets.
- Does a better job of picking originating ports.
- Gives a better reponse to a request for a short
queue listing.
- Doesn't ignore 'if' filter's exit status.
- On authentication failure, shuts down the socket so
the other side doesn't hang waiting for a read.
- Does unauthentic forwarding when a job is submitted
without authentication.
* ifhp.conf has support added for popular printer types.
* The lprng daemons won't send notification if forwarding to a
bounce queue and has a core dump bug fixed.
