13-May-1997:
Fixes for record-route in ping. (Dave Smart, 
  dsmart@nastg.gsfc.nasa.gov)

12-May-1997:
Merged inetd, ping, and rpc packages together to form "base".

05-Apr-1997:
Added configure script to generate MCONFIG.
Don't build rpcgen if glibc is in use, since glibc has its own.

08-Mar-1997: 
Split from full NetKit package. 
Generated this change log from NetKit's.

07-Mar-1997:
Fix rpcgen bug and redo suppression of unused variable warnings.
  (Frank Heldt, heldt.mahr@t-online.de)
Fixed group handling in inetd in case it's run manually.
Ignore SIGPIPE in inetd to prevent denial of service.
Posixized signal handling in inetd. (Gerald Britton,

29-Dec-1996
NetKit-0.09 released.
Ping exits with code 1 if it gets no response. (Donnie Barnes,
  djb@redhat.com)
Assorted alpha/glibc patches. (Erik Troan, ewt@redhat.com)
Assorted bug fixes from Debian. (Peter Tobias, 
  tobias@et-inf.fho-emden.de)
Hardened programs against DNS h_length spoofing attacks.
Use inet_aton() everywhere instead of inet_addr().
inetd now supports a -q option to set the socket listen queue length.
Minor hacks to rpcgen to cause it to generate code that 
  compiles more cleanly.
Fix bug in -N rpcgen output. (Frank Heldt, heldt.mahr@t-online.de)
Fix to ping to avoid an endless sleep problem on links that can
  corrupt packets. (Yury Shevchuk, sizif@botik.ru)
ping understands new RFC1812 ICMP dest unreachable codes. (Alan Cox)
ping drops root after startup, but (theoretically) only when 
  it's known to be safe to do so. (Alan Cox)

22-Aug-1996
NetKit-B-0.08 released.
rpcgen now puts some standard includes in its generated c.
(almost) everything now compiles with lots of warnings turned on.
ping -l (preload flood) requires uid 0.
ping sets SO_BROADCAST so pinging the broadcast address works.
Clear environment in setuid programs to protect against library
bugs.

25-Jul-1996
NetKit-B-0.07A released.

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.
New maintainer:  David A. Holland, dholland@hcs.harvard.edu
