17-Aug-1999: telnetd patch from Chris Evans to reject termcap entries with '/' in them, as libtermcap will treat them as paths and open them as root, with various interesting consequences... 1-Aug-1999: Massive cleanup of telnetd. Changed telnetd to use openpty() from libutil, so we can let libc deal with changes in pty management. 1-Aug-1999: Did complete y2k and y2038 audit. 31-Jul-1999: Redid makefiles/config stuff for new confgen version. 15-Jul-1999: Set the process title (visible with ps) to show the remote host name. Also filter control characters from the remote host name, just in case. Set environment variable REMOTEHOST also. 16-Oct-1997: Added OPOST to the terminal stuff a la NCSA telnet fixup 23-Sep-1997: Assorted signed/unsigned character fixes and hacking in telnet. (Martin Mares, mj@mj.gts.cz) Fix various crashes in telnet arising from undefining environment variables. "telnet h" no longer prints a usage message. 12-Jun-1997: netkit-telnet-0.10 released. 08-Jun-1997: More adjustments for glibc. Include kernel patch to fix hang on long input; thanks to Bill Hawes (whawes@star.net). 19-May-1997: Fix some nonsense with ayt and signals, since glibc has SIGINFO. 13-May-1997: 8-bit fix to telnet. (Lukas Wunner, lukas@design.de) Set ut_type correctly in telnetd's logout. (Steve Coile, steve@patriot.net) 05-Apr-1997: Added configure script to generate MCONFIG. Better utmp handling in telnetd. 08-Mar-1997: Split from full NetKit package. Generated this change log from NetKit's. 29-Dec-1996 NetKit-0.09 released. Assorted alpha/glibc patches. (Erik Troan, ewt@redhat.com) Assorted bug fixes from Debian. (Peter Tobias, tobias@et-inf.fho-emden.de) Telnetd supports -L option for alternate login program. (Peter Tobias) Hardened programs against DNS h_length spoofing attacks. Use inet_aton() everywhere instead of inet_addr(). Fixed crash in telnet caused by ^C or ^Z or ^\ under certain circumstances. Rewrote telnet and telnetd man pages. 22-Aug-1996 NetKit-B-0.08 released. (almost) everything now compiles with lots of warnings turned on. Massive hacking on telnet. telnet honors the -E flag (was broken in .07, .07A) telnetd intercepts ENV environment variable. Merged libtelnet into telnet and telnetd dirs. telnetd now sets idle tty devices to root.root mode 600. 25-Jul-1996 NetKit-B-0.07A released. Fixed a bug in telnet where the escape character was being ignored. Fixed a bug in telnetd; now uses the correct names for the last ptys (that is, ptya0-ptyef, not ptyA0-ptyEf.) 23-Jul-1996 NetKit-B-0.07 released. Integrated a collection of patches that had been lurking on the net, including the 256-ptys support for telnetd and passive mode ftp. Major security fixes, including to fingerd, lpr, rlogin, rsh, talkd, and telnetd. Do *not* use the sliplogin from earlier versions of this package, either. Much of the code builds without libbsd.a or bsd includes. Massive code cleanup. Almost everything compiles clean with gcc -Wall now. rusers and rusersd do not; patches to rpcgen to fix this would be appreciated if anyone feels like it. Kerberos support has been removed. It didn't work anyway, and proper Kerberos tools come with Kerberos. New maintainer: David A. Holland, dholland@hcs.harvard.edu date not known NetKit-B-0.06 released. date not known NetKit-B-0.05 released. Fixed writing entries to /var/adm/wtmp by ftpd, rlogind and telnetd. (logwtmp.c) Florian This is only necessary for the GNU last, not for the one in util-linux... date not known NetKit-B-0.04 released. Did some nasty changes to telnet/extern.h. I should really take the current version from NetBSD again and make a clean port of it. (signals). date not known NetKit-B-0.03 released. telnetd: changed the default 'etc/issue.net' to not output the hostname and then the domainname (that should be the fqdn, but is wrong!) Changed also the man page issue.net.5 changed telnetd to get the fqdn and not only use what 'gethostname' returns telnetd: changed some code back to original form to properly enable binary mode negotiation (outgoing data wasn't binary) Please test this out: do "telnet some_other_not_linux_host" and then do "vi TEST_FILE" and test some strange characters >127 like ｰ or ｧ. telnetd: added issue.net.5 to "make install"
