My fix is a very minor > change to libinetutils/setsig.c Hmm, this does fix the problem only in CYGWIN=tty mode. I just tried it three times with notty and it was worse than before. Pressing the RETURN key doesn't return to the shell prompt anymore. So I will not check in that until the problem is solved for notty as well. > 2) rshd - must wait 10 minutes between connections from same client This has been fixed on Tuesday and is part of 1.3.2-7 which has been announced Wednsday. I got a fix on 7th Sep from Jason Gouger which I only checked in Tuesday due to my vacations. > 3) rshd - always segvs without execing the command (on my system at least). > Occurs when syslog is called to log the request.

My fix is just to remove the syslog call - not ideal but at > least not I can rsh onto my NT box again! Thanks for the pointer. I have solved that by copying the content of hostname to a save location via `strdup()'. This let the syslog still work as before. Note that on my W2K system the syslog contained an empty hostname while it never crashed. Weird. Just for the records: Which system are you using? > 4) rsh - cannot invoke it as rsh.exe > I have modified the test of argv[0] in rsh.c so that either rsh or rsh.exe > are accepted as being not host names. I see. I have checked in an appropriate patch which additionally tests the name case insensitive as I did that already in OpenSSH. You will see your changes in the next version soon.
