new network stuff on uunet

[Bill Melohn]

I just updated the sun-fixes directory on uunet to include both the fixed
version of wall and the 4.0.3 libc.so and libc_pic.a files. the 4.0.3
libc.so runs fine on 4.0, 4.0.1, and 4.0.3 for sun3 and sun4s.

Feel free to (re)announce this on sun-nets/sun-spots.

Here is the README file:

We are experimenting with a new mechanism for the distribution of some
high-priority network bug fixes.  UUNET is a company that provides
connectivity to the Internet as well as through UUCP.  There is a
directory in ~ftp/sun-fixes on the machine uunet.UU.NET that currently
contains the following files:

ddn.tar is a "name server kit" that provides an updated version of the
	domain name server (BIND 4.8), and Sun-2 versions (which run on
	Sun-3s, SunOS 3.x) of sendmail that use the name server
	directly.  ** These versions of sendmail are no longer
	supported.  Please use the SunOS 4.x versions  also in this
	directory.  Also versions of ypserv that are less likely to
	hang when using inter-domain name resolution mode (in
	conjunction with the 4.0.1 libc.so).

in.ftpd	is the FTP daemon, with the bug fixed that allowed break-ins
	when anonymous FTP was enabled.  These are 4.0 Sun-3 and Sun-4
	versions. 

lib.msg	is a short file describing how to install a new shared library.

libc_pic.a.sun3
libc_pic.a.sun4
	are versions of the archive format libraries that are
	position independent, so they can be linked to form new
	shared libraries with arbitrary modules replaced. These
	archives are current as of 4.0.3.

libc_resolv.so.sun3
libc_resolv.so.sun4
	are versions of the 4.0.3 shared C library that have had
	their gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr routines replaced with the
	name server resolver versions. They should work with 4.0, 4.0.1
	or 4.0.3.

rcp.sun3
rcp.sun4
	Versions of the "rcp" program with a security hole fixed.
	Remember to install with setuid bit in /usr/ucb.

rdist.sun3
rdist.sun4
	Versions of the "rdist" program with a security hole fixed.
	Remember to install with setuid bit in /usr/ucb.

rpc.yppasswdd.sun3
rpc.yppasswdd.sun4
	are versions of the YP Password Daemon with a security
	hole fixed.

sendmail.mx.sun3
sendmail.sun3
sendmail.mx.sun4
sendmail.sun4
	are versions of sendmail that have various security
	holes fixed. This sendmail is based on UCB 5.59, with several
	security holes fixed, and performance improvements.

wall.sun3
wall.sun4
	are versions of the wall program with a security hole
	fixed. These programs should be installed setGID to the
	group tty in /usr/bin.

ypbind.sun3
ypbind.sun4
        are versions of the /usr/etc/ypbind program that by default
	do not allow the ypset command. Use -ypset option to re-enable.

You can retrieve these files through anonymous FTP to the machine
"uunet.uu.net". Log in with user name "anonymous", any password, "cd
sunfixes", specify "binary" mode, and "get" the desired files.  If you
are a subscriber to UUNET's UUCP services, then you can use UUCP to
retrieve these files. Alternatively, if you give Sun Customer Service a
writeable directory on your system, they can FTP these files to you
over the Internet. Note that files ending in ".Z" must be expanded
by the "uncompress" command.

If you experience problems, please make sure you have the latest
version, and then please contact Customer Support with enough details
so that we can recreate the problem.
