Funnily enough, it still worked on remote Cisco and unix boxen. Still - i got shitty with it, and dug into the problem. In 4.6R there was no INET6 support - 4.7 onwards now has it and someone just very simply screwed up typing in the new code, as you'll plainly see. Old Code snippet from net.c iov[msg.msg_iovlen].iov_base = "\r\n"; New code snippet from net.c static char neteol[] = "\n\r"; . . . iov[msg.msg_iovlen].iov_base = neteol; Well, it's pretty obvious what the problem now isnt it? :) And, of course - changing it to the old behavior of "\r\n" does fix it and my problems are no more. I can submit a patch to fix this if you want or not.. I honestly dont give a damn to be honest ;) >How-To-Repeat: Try fingering an Ascend NAS. Still, I think my above description outlines the issue pretty obviously. >Fix: Obvious - alter net.c in usr.bin/finger so that instead of static char neteol[] = "\n\r"; We have instead static char neteol[] = "\r\n"; >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
