My thanks to Sam Hartman at MIT for noticing this. If you picked up the 95.10.19 release, you should pick up the new release, which can be found at: ftp://ftp.cray.com/src/telnet/telnet.95.10.23.NE.tar.Z or you can just get: ftp://ftp.cray.com/src/telnet/sys_term.c.95.10.23 and replace telnetd/sys_term.c with this new module. This version does not contain encryption. An archive with the encryption code has been sent off to MIT, and hopefully it will show up on net-dist.mit.edu:/pub/telnet in the near future. See: ftp://ftp.cray.com/src/telnet/README.encryption for more information on how to get it. Until then, you can also get the file: ftp://ftp.cray.com/src/telnet/telnet.95.10.23.diff.Z which contains the diffs to apply to the telnet.95.05.31.tar.Z to get to the new version. (Note: telnetd/sys_term.c is the same in both the encryption and non-encryption releases.) If you are using telnetd from the 95.05.31 distribution, I would recommend that you upgrade to this new release. (One major problem that people have run into that is fixed in the release is that the /etc/utmp file could get mucked up on SunOS/Solaris.) -David Borman, dab@cray.com ------- end -------
