telnetd
The telnetd daemon executes a server that supports the DARPA standard TELNET
virtual terminal protocol.
Summary of Change
New telnetd options.
Details of Change
The telnetd function contains the following new options:
-n specifies the time in seconds that telnetd waits for the client to respond to the
initial option negotiation before timing out and closing the connection.
-y causes telnetd to close a connection if the baud rate is set to zero. Without this
option set, telnetd does not close a connection even on zero baud rate.
Documentation
The telnetd (1M) manpage has been updated to reflect the new options.
rwhod
The rwhod server maintains the database used by rwho and ruptime. The rwhod server
sends status information to and receives status information from other nodes on the
local network that are running rwhod.
Summary of Change
The rwhod function now supports valid hostname characters as per RFC 952 only.
Details of Change
The supported characters are all alphanumeric characters, the minus-sign (‘-’) and
period (‘.’).
NOTE Hostnames containing invalid characters causes rwhod to fail.
Documentation
No documentation changes were necessary.
