Whom it concerns,
I just upgraded a myriad of my systems from 4.6R-p2 to 4.7 and
lo-and-behold I could no longer use /usr/bin/finger to get a finger from
remote Ascend NAS.
Funnily enough, it still worked on remote Cisco and unix boxen.
Still - i got shitty with it, and dug into the problem.
In 4.6R there was no INET6 support - 4.7 onwards now has it and someone
just very simply screwed up typing in the new code, as you'll plainly see.
Old Code snippet from net.c
iov[msg.msg_iovlen].iov_base = "\r\n";
New code snippet from net.c
static char neteol[] = "\n\r";
.
.
.
iov[msg.msg_iovlen].iov_base = neteol;
Well, it's pretty obvious what the problem now isnt it? :)
And, of course - changing it to the old behavior of "\r\n" does fix it and
my problems are no more.
I can submit a patch to fix this if you want or not.. I honestly dont give
a damn to be honest ;)
Regards,
Jenna
