This release supersedes NetKit-B-0.07 and NetKit-B-0.07A as well as earlier versions of NetKit-B. NOTE: There was a "NetKit-B-0.07B" uploaded to some archive sites. It was *not* an official release and might be trojanized. Do not use it. Please delete it if you see it anywhere. *** This release fixes a critical security problem in telnetd. *** It is strongly recommended that all linux boxes connected to *** a network that run telnetd be upgraded as soon as possible. *** This release also fixes a serious security problem in rwhod and *** a not-quite-as-serious security problem in tftp. It also fixes a *** problem in telnet that would be significant for anyone using *** telnet in the context of a restricted shell (though such usage is *** not recommended.) As of version 0.07, NetKit-B no longer includes portmap, rdist, sliplogin, lpr, or ftpd. Separately maintained versions of these can be found on ftp.uk.linux.org. NetKit-B-0.08 contains the following: biff comsat finger fingerd ftp inetd ping rlogin rlogind rcp rpcgen rpc.rusersd rpc.rwalld rpcinfo rsh rshd rusers rwall rwho rwhod bsdslattach talk talkd telnet telnetd timed It also contains rexecd, tftp, and tftpd, which should not be installed unless needed. This is a source-only release. Requires libc 5.2 or higher (though 4.7 or 5.0 should work.) Should work with any kernel released within the last year or two. Please get gcc-2.7.2 with the strength-reduce bug fix if you don't already have it. Also requires ncurses. GNU readline is optional.
