Inetutils 1.6
Item posted by Sergey Poznyakoff <gray> on Sat 27 Dec 2008 09:42:48 PM UTC.
GNU inetutils version 1.6 is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/inetutils. New in this version:
- Various bugs fixes and clean ups.
- hostname, traceroute
New programs.
- ping and ping6 now exit after four packets instead of pinging forever.
The previous behaviour can be enabled by passing `--count 0' to ping (or ping6).
- telnet now delays initialization of Shishi until Kerberos is needed
- inetd
The configuration file syntax has been extended to allow for supplying local addresses `inetd' should use when listening for a given service. The addresses may be specified on a per-server basis as well as globally (affecting several services).
It is possible to limit the number of service instances for `nowait' services.
