I have built Kerberos v4 at patchlevel 9 on a Sun OS 4.1.2
system. Most things appear to be working fine, but I have two
questions:

  o Rlogin does not recognize window resize events. It appears
    that rlogind should be sending an out of band request back to
    rlogin so it will catch the SIGWINCH signal to send window
    change events. If I issue a kill -USR1 nnn to the writer
    rlogin process, i.e. the one that's the parent, it will turn
    on the SIGWINCH signal routine and everything works. It looks
    like either rlogind, or login should be sending this out of
    band request back to rlogin, but they don't. Any ideas?

  o We have a number of domains and so an Internet names looks like:
    node.division.anl.gov. There are duplicate node names in some
    of these divisions. I would like to run with a single realm
    of ANL.GOV. kadmin will let me enter node\.division to get a
    period in the instance, but rlogin insists on only
    sending node. How can I get rlogin and its friends to use
    node.division or even node.division.anl.gov and still work
    with other sites which may not have this problem?
