Michael:
Have been running your patched rlogind (NetKit-B-0.08-8.i386.rpm) since
you released it on the 28th. It did infact correct my problems with the
incorrect wtmp entries, Thanks!
This evening had some strange behavior with the same Colgate Host and was
wondering if you might have any explainations? For several hours this
evening we were without Internet Connectivity past the regional level,
which for some reason caused RLOGIN Connections to HANG part way through
the login process (Telnet/FTP were uneffected)! Rlogin Entries in
"/var/log/secure" appeared immediately, but the login process NEVER
completed leaving the User with a DEAD Terminal/Windows (NO response to
Ctrl-C). Our Primary & Secondard Nameserver's remained accessible and the
hosts I was evaluating where all local to our region. Whether or NOT the
hosts appeared in HOSTS.EQUIV List, the results appeared the same until I
reverted back to a null HOSTS.EQUIV File!
Could there be any requirement for Full Internet Connectivity leading to
the Rlogin Daemon experiencing such a HANGING problem (PAM or something
else which has changed since Picasso)?
