5.0-RELEASE), a visually elusive bug was introduced. A comparison
operator was changed to assignment. As a result, rexecd behaved
always as if the `-i' option had been specified. It would allow root
logins. This commit corrects the situation in the obvious way.
A separate bug was introduced at the same time. The PAM library
functions are called between the invocation of getpwnam(3) and the use
of the returned static object. Since many PAM library functions
result in additional getpwnam(3) calls, the contents of the returned
static object could be changed from under rexecd. With this commit,
getpwnam_r(3) is used instead.
Other PAM-using applications should be reviewed for similar errors in
getpw* usage.
Security: rexecd's documented default policy of disallowing root
logins was not enforced.

LD_LIBMAP_DISABLE, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) are used, then make sure the
libraries being loaded aren't on a noexec-mounted filesystem.
This is a compromise position: I'm assuming that nobody will be silly
enough to set the noexec mount flag on part of the default library
path, in order to avoid adding extra overhead into the common case
(where those environment variables aren't used).

Another handy libmap patch. Lets you do stuff like this:
LD_LIBMAP="libpthread.so.1=libthr.so.1" mythreadedapp
If you already have a program-specific override in libmap.conf, note
that you must use a program-specific override in LD_LIBMAP:
LD_LIBMAP="[mythreadedapp],libpthread.so.1=libthr.so.1" mythreadedapp

The major change is to process STAT sent as an OOB command w/o
breaking the current data transfer. As a side effect, this gives
better error checking in the code performing data transfers.
A lesser, but in no way cosmetic, change is using the flag `recvurg'
in the only signal-safe way that has been blessed by SUSv3. The
other flag, `transflag,' becomes private to the SIGURG machinery,
serves debugging purposes only, and may be dropped in the future.
The `byte_count' global variable is now accounting bytes actually
transferred over the network. This can give status messages looking
strange, like "X of Y bytes transferred," where X > Y, but that has
more sense than trying to compensate for combinations of data formats
on the server and client when transferring ASCII type data. BTW,
getting the size of a file in advance is unreliable for a number of
reasons in the first place. See question 18.8 of the Infrequently
Asked Questions in comp.lang.c for details.

- Convert the (char *) cast+cast backs magic to
memcpy(3). Without this, the resulting code
is potentially risky with higher optimization
levels.
- Avoid same name when calling local variables,
as well as global symbols. This reduces
confusion for both human and compiler.
- Add necessary casts, consts
- Use new style function defination.
- Minor style.Makefile(5) tweak
- Bump WARNS?= from 0 to 6

Log it once at the beginning of the session instead. OTOH, log wd each
