Whom it concerns, I just upgraded a myriad of my systems from 4.6R-p2 to 4.7 and lo-and-behold I could no longer use /usr/bin/finger to get a finger from remote Ascend NAS. 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 ;) Regards, Jenna PLEASE NOTE: I'm not on the freebsd-questions list.
