  • inetd


** New option --environment enables passing client/server data via
environment variables.

** New option --resolve enables resolving IP addresses before passing
them via environment.

** Allows numeric port names as service names

** inetd now creates a PID file

  • rcp now supports the -V option


  • rshd/rexecd now switches to the users home directory after

  authentication.

  • rlogin now supports XON/XOFF without needing -8.


  • syslogd now can actually disable forwarding.


  • talk allows the use of 8-bit ASCII.


  • telnet not subject to certain DNS spoofing techniques that could possibly foil Kerberos authentication.
