This patch improves portability and backwards compatibility. It does
not add any new features. If 7.0 or 7.1 works for you don't bother.
- Added a note to the README and to the manpages on using the IDENT
(rfc931) service to detect sequence number guessing attacks.
- Portability: support for the ConvexOS inetd.conf file format.
- Portability: the AIX compiler complained about a declaration that
was no longer needed.
- Backwards compatibility: some sites depended on leading and
trailing dot patterns for daemon process names.
- Backwards compatibility: hostname lookup remains enabled when
-DPARANOID is turned off. In order to disable hostname lookups you
must turn off -DALWAYS_HOSTNAME.
- Eliminated several false complaints from the tcpdmatch/tcpdchk
configuration checking programs.
As always, suggestions for improvement are welcome.
