inetutils-1.3.2-10 on Cygwin 1.1.8-2

["Andrew Chang" <awc at bitmover dot com>]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for creating the cygwin project, it is a very useful
product. I evaluated MKS, Uwin and finally settled with
Cygwin. I uses Cygwin on a daily basis as a regression
test frame work for over a years now. (I purchased the cygwin CD
but I am on the cygwin net release now,
it seems to be more up to date)

I seem to hit a rshd bug, am wondering if anyone can help:

I was trying install cygwin rshd recently, It seems to work.
except for one strange behavior: under the rshd
environment, the winsock2 gethostbyname() interface will return
WSAHOST_NOT_FOUND. It works fine if I  run the same code
under rlogind or locally. (The application I am running is
a very simple (20 lines of C code, no GUI) winsock application,
it is not linked to the cygwin dll.

I found the following message on web.
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-05/msg00743.html

which seems to indicate rshd have some winsock related problem.
I am wondering if it had been fixed.


Thanks

Andrew Chang
