   This is a bugfix release.
   
           The change in the previous release from using makeutx() to
           pututxline() caused problems on SunOS/Solaris.  It has been
           changed back to using makeutx().  Symptoms include users
           getting error messages when logging in about not being able
           to open the tty.
   
           Using memmove() instead of memcpy() caused problems under
           SunOS 4.x, since it doesn't have memmove().  Config.generic
           has been modified to include mem.o for SunOS 4.x.
   
           Some new code was added to telnetd to do some enviornment
           variable cleanup before execing login.  Thanks to Sam Hartman
           at MIT for pointing this out.
   
           A couple of other minor bugfixes.
   
   May 30, 1995
   
   This release represents what is on the 4.4BSD-Lite2 release, which
   should be the final BSD release.  I will continue to support of
   telnet, The code (without encryption) is available via anonymous ftp
   from ftp.cray.com, in src/telnet/telnet.YY.MM.DD.NE.tar.Z, where
   YY.MM.DD is replaced with the year, month and day of the release.
   If you can't find it at one of these places, at some point in the
   near future information about the latest releases should be available
   from ftp.borman.com.
   
   In addition, the version with the encryption code is available via
   ftp from net-dist.mit.edu, in the directory /pub/telnet.  There
   is a README file there that gives further information on how
   to get the distribution.
   
   Questions, comments, bug reports and bug fixes can be sent to
   one of these addresses:
                   dab@borman.com
                   dab@cray.com
                   dab@bsdi.com
   
   This release is mainly bug fixes and code cleanup.
   
           Replace all calls to bcopy()/bzero() with calls to
           memmove()/memset() and all calls to index()/rindex()
           with calls to strchr()/strrchr().
   
           Add some missing diagnostics for option tracing
           to telnetd.
   
           Add support for BSDI 2.0 and Solaris 2.4.
   
           Add support for UNICOS 8.0
   
           Get rid of expanded tabs and trailing white spaces.
   
           From Paul Vixie:
                   Fix for telnet going into an endless spin
                   when the session dies abnormally.
   
           From Jef Poskanzer:
                   Changes to allow telnet to compile
                   under SunOS 3.5.
   
           From Philip Guenther:
                   makeutx() doesn't expand utmpx,
                   use pututxline() instead.
   
           From Chris Torek:
                   Add a sleep(1) before execing login
                   to avoid race condition that can eat
                   up the login prompt.
                   Use terminal speed directly if it is
                   not an encoded value.
   
           From Steve Parker:
                   Fix to realloc() call.  Fix for execing
                   login on solaris with no user name.
   
   January 19, 1994
   
   This is a list of some of the changes since the last tar release
   of telnet/telnetd.  There are probably other changes that aren't
   listed here, but this should hit a lot of the main ones.
   
      General:
           Changed #define for AUTHENTICATE to AUTHENTICATION
           Changed #define for ENCRYPT to ENCRYPTION
           Changed #define for DES_ENCRYPT to DES_ENCRYPTION
   
           Added support for SPX authentication: -DSPX
   
           Added support for Kerberos Version 5 authentication: -DKRB5
   
           Added support for ANSI C function prototypes
   
           Added support for the NEW-ENVIRON option (RFC-1572)
           including support for USERVAR.
   
           Made support for the old Environment Option (RFC-1408)
           conditional on -DOLD_ENVIRON
   
           Added #define ENV_HACK - support for RFC 1571
   
           The encryption code is removed from the public distributions.
           Domestic 4.4 BSD distributions contain the encryption code.
   
           ENV_HACK: Code to deal with systems that only implement
                   the old ENVIRON option, and have reversed definitions
                   of ENV_VAR and ENV_VAL.  Also fixes ENV processing in
                   client to handle things besides just the default set...
   
           NO_BSD_SETJMP: UNICOS configuration for
                   UNICOS 6.1/6.0/5.1/5.0 systems.
   
           STREAMSPTY: Use /dev/ptmx to get a clean pty.  This
                   is for SVr4 derivatives (Like Solaris)
   
           UTMPX: For systems that have /etc/utmpx. This is for
                   SVr4 derivatives (Like Solaris)
   
           Definitions for BSDI 1.0
   
           Definitions for 4.3 Reno and 4.4 BSD.
   
           Definitions for UNICOS 8.0 and UNICOS 7.C
   
           Definitions for Solaris 2.0
   
           Definitions for HP-UX 8.0
   
           Latest Copyright notices from Berkeley.
   
           FLOW-CONTROL: support for RFC-XXXx
   
   
      Client Specific:
   
           Fix the "send" command to not send garbage...
   
           Fix status message for "skiprc"
   
           Make sure to send NAWS after telnet has been suspended
           or an external command has been run, if the window size
           has changed.
   
           sysV88 support.
   
      Server Specific:
   
           Support flowcontrol option in non-linemode servers.
   
           -k Server supports Kludge Linemode, but will default to
              either single character mode or real Linemode support.
              The user will have to explicitly ask to switch into
              kludge linemode. ("stty extproc", or escape back to
              to telnet and say "mode line".)
   
           -u Specify the length of the hostname field in the utmp
              file.  Hostname longer than this length will be put
              into the utmp file in dotted decimal notation, rather
              than putting in a truncated hostname.
   
           -U Registered hosts only.  If a reverse hostname lookup
              fails, the connection will be refused.
   
           -f/-F
              Allows forwarding of credentials for KRB5.
