4/18/90: Packaged auth 2.1 to replace previous comp.sources.unix submission.
4/18/90: authd version 2.1.
4/18/90: authd looks much prettier.
4/18/90: attachport version 4.1.
4/18/90: authd supports ! lock files.
4/18/90: attachport forks as real uid.
4/18/90: attachport now checks periodically for lost children.
4/18/90: Corrected locking scheme for exceptional (i.e. impossible) cases.
4/18/90: authtcp version 2.1.
4/18/90: authtcp forks as real uid.
4/18/90: attachport handles signals better.
4/18/90: authtcp handles signals better. It's annoying that extensions
to the signal semantics could make secure programs insecure.
4/18/90: attachport is now just as careful.
4/18/90: authtcp is now ridiculously careful to switch to effective uid
before unlinking lock file and to real uid before exiting.
4/18/90: Aargh, fork() uses effective uid rather than real uid for
MAXUPRC checks. This ``feature'' can bring down attachport and
authtcp if MAXUPRC is small and the machine is big.
4/2/90: attachport version 4.0.
4/2/90: authtcp version 2.0.
4/2/90: authd version 2.0.
4/2/90: authuser version 2.0.
4/2/90: Final packaging and distribution for comp.sources.unix.
4/2/90: Everything passes lint perfectly, though not lint -hacx.
4/2/90: attachport now understands SIGTERM from killaport.
4/2/90: All programs now use inet_ntoa() where appropriate.
4/2/90: All programs now use isascii() where appropriate.
4/2/90: attachport now understands everything.
4/2/90: Integrated attachport into auth distribution. attachport CHANGES:
3/21/90: Somehow attachport has gotten up to 3.6.
1/28/90: Added -0 option to wither away when input file disappears.
1/28/90: Added -1 option as a computer-friendly -v.
1/7/90: attachport 3.5.
Cleaned up mostly everything.
attachport version 3.0, 11/1/89.
4/1/90: authuser now checks for USERID from the Authentication Server,
though it doesn't do anything informative upon a remote ERROR.
4/1/90: authd now uses unsigned where it should.
4/1/90: authuser now uses unsigned where it should.
4/1/90: authtcp now uses unsigned where it should.
4/1/90: authd now uses ctype.h appropriately.
4/1/90: authd supports new locking protocol.
4/1/90: authtcp supports new locking protocol.
4/1/90: Set up new locking procedure to prevent authentication race
condition; attachport will have to support this too.
3/31/90: authtcp version 1.8.
3/31/90: authtcp now talks to the remote authd.
3/31/90: authuser version 1.5.
3/31/90: Redid authuser interface.
3/31/90: Added authuser library to authtcpd (now just auth) distribution.
3/27/90: authtcp now supports getservbyname()---and an interesting
inconsistency showed up! Check sockaddr_in in netinet/in.h
versus servent.s_port in netdb.h. Ho hum.
3/27/90: Touched up authtcp a bit.
1/31/90: authd version 1.52.
1/31/90: authtcp version 1.52.
1/31/90: authtcp now supports TSTP.
1/31/90: Both programs now have AUTHDIR ifdefed so it can go into Makefile.
Getopt usage compatible with dumb getopt (no special numeric treatment).
1/7/90: authd version 1.5.
1/7/90: authtcp version 1.5.
Both programs now use getopt.
authd passes lint.
authtcp: Whoops, really should turn off TSTP, as we don't handle stopping.
authtcp keeps socket open, to close a Trojan Horse-like security hole.
authtcp doesn't turn off signals for its child.
authtcp version 1.1, 11/1/89.
authtcp has the verbose option it's been begging for.
authtcp now understands gethostbyname().
authd version 1.001, 11/1/89.
authtcp version 1.001, 11/1/89.
Changed 50 in both programs to be sizeof(AUTHDIR) + 30.
