Subject: netstd: rlogin: Connection refused

Date: Tue, 15 Jul 1997 12:13:50 -0700

Package: netstd
Version: 2.13-1

Since a long time I am running a specially patched rlogin version for one of our
hosts which redirects incoming calls from serial ports to a shell server. I had hoped that
1.3.X would cure it but I got the same complaints again about connections not being
established.

I am running a special rcmd.c linked into rlogin which I got from Miquel a while back.
He said that he hoped the fixes would make it into a future libc version. Seems that they
did not. The trouble is with a port being blocked somehow and rlogin always hitting on
the same port on retries. I have had this lots of times also on my home setup where I just
abort the attempt and retry which usually makes it work.

Why do you report it as a bug against netstd? It's clearly a bug in the
libc package(s) so you should report it as a libc bug. If you send the
libc maintainer context diffs with the changes I'm sure he will add them
as soon as possible.

Linking your modified rmcd version to rlogin would be a bad idea. As you
already said you're already running a patched rlogin version so I assume
you're seeking for a permanent fix. Linking the rcmd function to rlogin
wouldn't be a permanent solution. Another problem is that this would only
affect rlogin. Other r-tools would use a different rcmd ... very bad.

If there are no objections I'll reassign it to libc6.


Thanks,

Peter

No problem with reassigning the bug. The problem surfaces with rlogin
primarily though and might be related to how connections are handled on
the receiving side by rlogind or the kernel. There is such a wide variety
of factors here that I really do not know how to approach it. I just know
that the fix from Miquel does away with the problem. Dont know if this is
the correct way to approach the problem though.

Changes: 
 glibc (2.1.94-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New maintainer, "Lector, si monumentum requiris, circumspice"
   * New upstream version, pre 2.2 now
     - crypt is now in glibc source, so is not a seperate tarball
     - removed nss1 compat tarball
     - db2 is gone aswell
     - without db2, upstream split nss_db from main source (*sigh*)
   * Added inetd to list of services to restart
   * modfl/fmodl: documented in info pages, closes: #17874
   * Just a quick list of bugs that I can verify do not exist any longer,
     closes: #45903, #26514, #46547, #32345, #30987, #48713
   * fcloseall: in the case of stdio/fcloseall.c, yes, it only ever
     returns success. However, we use libio/fcloseall.c, who does in fact
     have a chance to return EOF, closes: #20973
   * libio/libio.h: shows that the Stream Hooks do in fact take (void *) as
     the first argument as shown in the protos, closes: #61497
   * trunc/floor: documented correctly in this release, closes: #65683, #65684
   * Hurd maintainers say this can be closed, closes: #54154
   * I'm pretty sure this isn't an issue anymore, else potato wouldn't be
     releasing, closes: #35049
   * Sorry this isn't a glibc bug. The kernel handles error returns on a
     failed executable. Most likely this is bin_interp's problem, but I
     seriously doubt it will be fixed because of conventions, standards and
     the like, closes: #22301
   * keyenvoy: no longer compiled for linux (it seems), closes: #47560
   * infnan: is defined now, closes: #19264
   * libc5 bug, no longer applies, closes: #11300
   * Make sure we copy over asm-sparc for sparc aswell as "generate-asm.sh"
     script used to generate /usr/include/asm
   * Disable parallel build on sparc (broken for some reason, might not be
     sparc specific)
   * devpts.sh: used a more devfs friendly version from bug submitter,
     closes: #65276
   * libc/postinst: cannot reproduce problem, appears to be user error,
     closes: #64865
   * glibc-doc: this bug is no longer valid, closes: #33759
   * We now use ldconfig from libc6 for all archs, ldso will conform.
   * Change build deps to just "kernel-headers" for non-Hurd archs. With
     mips and other coming down the pipe, this is bound to get ugly if we
     specify the particular version for each.
   * Add checks to automatically detect proper kernel-headers, error out
     otherwise.
   * hurd: add Depends: hurd (>= 20000803) for libc0.2
   * libpthread: soname version is now 0.9
   * debian/libc/DEBIAN/shlibs: bump to 2.1.94
   * libc6: add temporary depend on libdb2
   * debian/rules: check for FAKEROOTKEY, and fail if it's there. We cannot
     build under fakeroot, we need real rewt. Fear my hacking skillz.
