All bugs have been quashed, all features have been perfected, just download and enjoy ! I know I said 0.8 was feature-complete but several weeks of heavy use convinced me to add a couple more at the last minute. ^@ in a reverse-LAT connection will send a BREAK to the terminal server or host. Useful for VAX consoles that one, and You can define a group called "lat" in your /etc/groups file and all reverse-LAT ports will then have that as their groups along with 0660 permission so you don't have to be root to use reverse-LAT any more. And there are binaries. Only Intel at the moment but that *may* change. Here's the full NEWS page: - Support BREAK character - Added support for a group (gid) called "lat". If you have one of these in /etc/groups then users with that group can connect to reverse-LAT ports with no other privileges - Added startup script - Remove "LAT started", "LAT stopped" messages from latcp as they interfere with the startup script and it's "not the Unix way" - Added RPM build target - Added DEB build target - Forced all node names & service names to be uppercase in latcp - Split -DOLDSTUFF into two bits: -DUSE_OPENPTY and -DSETLOGIN_HOST. The second option doesn't work on SuSE 6.4, but does on Debian 2.2 and RedHat 6.2, the first should be fine on anything later than RedHat 5.2 (libc 2.0 I think that means) BTW: I haven't forgotten dnprogs. There will be a 0.6 release in the middle of October soon after I return from holiday. For the impatient, it's all in CVS! patrick _______________________________________________ Linux-decnet-user mailing list Linux-decnet-user(a)lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/linux-decnet-user
