I have been >seeing more and more of these kinds of non-answers. I find it hard to fault the NetBSD developers for this when I consider the following: 1. They are even more busy than I am. 2. Any person can obtain the new code related to telnetd and ttys and diff it against the old ones to see the changes. 3. There are 22 mailing lists people interested in fixes and new development can follow. 4. Every mailing to those lists is available via gopher on sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu in the mailing-lists directory. Perhaps the NetBSD core people should add the mailing list and gopher info to .sig files... I'm satisfied they've set up substantial methods to keep users clued in to what they're doing. Usenet just doesn't happen to be the primary means. -- Paul Southworth CICNet Archivist pauls@cic.net
