I have reveived several replies after I have post the news. Here are two
working solutions.
1. You can replace rlogin and rsh with the one provided by net-2. net-2 package
can be found in tsx-11.mit.edu in the dir
/pub/linux/packages/net/net-2/binaries/net-base.tar.z
Please untar the file in a tmp dir, not in root (/) since net-base.tar
includes many untilities.
2. Some have sent me a fix on the rlogin for linux 0.99.9. Mail to me if you
want to have the fix.
3. This is my advice: upgrade to linux 0.99.10 and install the net-2 package
found in (1). net-2 is sure the future net package for linux. And for
anyone who found the SLS net package worked for linux 0.99.9 and reveiced
an "old style network call ..." error message when upgrading to
linux 0.99.10, the old net package will not work for linux 0.99.10. Please
install the net-2 package. If you found any problems when installing it,
the net-2-faq is out. You can found it in this news group.
