munged by yours truly.)

29-Dec-1996
NetKit-0.09 released.
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().
Rudimentary shadow support in rexecd.
Moved opening of stderr in rexecd after authentication so you
can't do port scans with it.
rlogind no longer gets mixed up when NIS or PAM does resolver
operations.
rlogind now supports a -h option to permit root rhosts files
(which are not honored by default) and a -L option to disable
all rhosts and hosts.equiv processing.
rshd now supports the -h option also. To achieve the equivalent of
rlogind's -L option, disable rshd entirely.
Fix select problems in rsh. (Felix Egli, fegli@goldnet.ch)
rlogin (and consequently rsh) doesn't dump core on high
baudrates. (Alan Cox)
22-Aug-1996
NetKit-B-0.08 released.
(almost) everything now compiles with lots of warnings turned on.
Fixed rexecd to use fd_sets correctly.
Clear environment in setuid programs to protect against library
bugs.
25-Jul-1996

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.
Kerberos support has been removed. It didn't work anyway, and
proper Kerberos tools come with Kerberos.
Added experimental support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication
Modules) which may or may not actually work...
New maintainer: David A. Holland, dholland@hcs.harvard.edu
date not known
NetKit-B-0.06 released.
rsh was exiting before all of the output from the remote command
was finished. This only happened together with Solaris machines,
not SunOS 4.1.
(Mark Weaver Mark_Weaver@brown.edu)
Could you all please give rsh a very hard test?
date not known
NetKit-B-0.05 released.
Fixed writing entries to /var/adm/wtmp by ftpd, rlogind and
telnetd. (logwtmp.c) Florian
This is only necessary for the GNU last, not for the one
in util-linux...
Changed rsh to stop looking for options after the first
non-option. (See POSIXLY_CORRECT environment and "+" as first
option for GNU getopt.)
date not known
NetKit-B-0.04 released.
date not known
NetKit-B-0.03 released.
I found a bug-fix on of the news groups by Ulf Rimkus
ulf@pc0435.psychologie.uni-marburg.de. 'rexecd' didn't set the
environment at all. (Though it prepares all data for it...)
