Thank you for the patches.
Very recently, I had alread done the following work in the appl/bsd directory:
o login/rlogin/rlogind/rsh/rshd
Support the pty handling for Solaris 2.x, OSF/1, AIX 3.2.x, Ultrix
and several other platforms.
Support shadow passwords
Support utmp handling on SYS-V based systems
Better support the POSIX 1003.1 interface (still needs more, though)
Cleaned up the routines, so there is no dependency on
32-bit architectures, and no special #ifdef's needed.
rsh -x will now encrypt the data stream
rshd now handles the stderr stream properly with the second port
If there were other patches in the diff file, could you let me know, and
I will take a look at it (I inferred from your message that there was a
duplication of effort). The appl/bsd directory has changed and improved
considerably since beta4pl3, and there are some considerable improvements
underway throughout the distribution in the upcoming beta release.
I expect that we will soon be de-supporting rlogin/rsh, and integrating
the necessary features into telnet. We will also be working with the
IETF and others to standardize telnet for the additional features that
we wish to add (we need to add two telnet options to fully support the
old Berkeley r* suite). It is expected that after this upcoming beta
release, very little effort will be put into the Berkeley command suite,
and although we may fix some of the problems reported, we expect that
some issues will be addressed only by telnet.
