- This is a list of bugs for my NetBSD source collection for Linux.
-
- Please email me, if you can give more detailed bug reports. Don't just
- post to one of the newsgroups and think, I will see it...
-
- If you feel like not working enough, you could just pick up one of the
- mentioned bugs and find a bug-fix for it. Many bug reports are very
- detailed.
-
- I included the mail address of the people who reported the bugs, if it
- seems necessary to me.
-
- * Using the FTP in the net package, if I give the "sendport" command to
- disable sending of port commands I get "bind: address in use" error
- messages when I attempt to retrieve a file. "sendport" is useful when
- talking to overloaded FTP servers since port commands sometimes fail.
-
- * After a while of running the machine, the rpc.portmapper begins to fork
- constantly. This only seems to happen when I have the rpc.ugidd also
- running.
- I have run the portmapper in debug mode and when it does go wild I get
- a pile of debug saying that it is about to enter the main switch in the
- portmapper source code.
- The problem does not happen on the two machines that I have at home networked.
- This only happens at work on a network with DEC 5000/240/260 and PC's etc.

- (Could someone please mail me, where I can find the newest version of
- rpc.ugidd? I want to include it into my net source collection on funet.fi)
-
- * rpc.rwalld prints two messages instead of one. (fixed??)
-
- * Do "telnet localhost chargen" and then hit Ctrl-C. The process will hang.
- You will have to go to another console and kill it with a HANGUP signal.
- There have been some Linux specific changes to signal handling, maybe
- we should convert back?
-
- * "rsh" is known to have a problem: A stopped rsh command will block the
- port, so that other rsh commands will hang. Alan Cox has promised to fix
- the kernel for this. This should be gone with a very new kernel. (??)
-
- * I have changed "timed" to compile for Linux, but I cannot test it.
- Could someone tell me, if it is working?
- It is not working, but someone is working on it...
-
- * I use rpcgen from rpc-0.9. I should upgrade to the newer available version.
- But I have heard rumors, that they don't work ok for all source code.
- If newer versions work ok, I should delete source code for rpcgen and
- rpcinfo from my source collection.
- I couldn't find newer versions with archie. Where are they?
