Hi Anibal
At our workplace we found that the patch 03-627217-netio.patch
introduced in version 4.0.1-5 breaks the compatibility of rstatd in a
inhomogeneous setup, where wheezy, squeeze and even solaris hosts interact.
I have set the severity to serious as it introduces a 'regression' for Squeeze
- -> Wheezy, where one has mixed Squeeze and Wheezy setups, but can be
downgraded
to important if you don't agree. But IMHO should get version working in mixed
environment.
Here is a small example to reproduce the problem:
sid 192.168.122.53 (rstatd and rstat-client 4.0.1-7)
squeeze 192.168.122.54 (rstatd and rstat-client 4.0.1-4+squeeze1)

squeeze 12:50 up 2 days, 3:39, 1 user, load 0.00 0.00 0.00

(Note that rup also shows wrong information on 192.168.122.53).
Reverting the patch 03-627217-netio.patch let it work in a mixed
squeeze, wheezy environment. If 627217 can be fixed, it should probably
without breaking the "protocol". After reverting the patch the requests
give again correct results.

Could you please revert at least 03-627217-netio.patch (if fixing
#627217 without creating the compatibility issue cannot be fixed)?

Salvatore
