Inetutils 1.6

[willimm]

From NEWS:

• Various bugs fixes and clean ups.

• hostname, traceroute

New programs.

• ping and ping6 now exit after four packets instead of pinging forever.

The previous behaviour can be enabled by passing `--count 0' to ping (or ping6).

• telnet now delays initialization of Shishi until Kerberos is needed

• inetd

The configuration file syntax has been extended to allow for supplying local addresses `inetd' should use when listening for a given service. The addresses may be specified on a per-server basis as well as globally (affecting several services).

It is possible to limit the number of service instances for `nowait' services.

inetutils-1.6 - no server manual pages patch

[robert@…]

The gcc-4.2 fix is no longer needed with this new Inetutils version. I attached a new manual pages patch, or alternatively use:

find . -name Makefile.in -exec sed -i -e '/ftpd.8/d' \
    -e '/inetd.8/d' -e '/logger.1/d' -e '/rexecd.8/d' -e '/rlogind.8/d' \
    -e '/rshd.8/d' -e '/syslog.conf.5 syslogd.8/d' -e '/talkd.8/d' \
    -e '/telnetd.8/d' -e '/tftpd.8/d' {} \;
