Hello,

Inetutils 1.4.3 is finally available from alpha.gnu.org.

The files and their MD5 sums are:

3caf751af6f74476a2bbb20a71a80eb7  inetutils-1.4.3.tar.gz
7afa1709e894290f6266667a0f7fb403  inetutils-1.4.3.tar.gz.sig

The list of noteworthy changes follows:

* Various bugs fixes and clean ups.

* inetd

** New option --environment enables passing client/server data via
environment variables. 

** New option --resolve enables resolving IP addresses before passing
them via environment.

** Allows numeric port names as service names

** Inetd now creates a PID file.

* rcp now supports the -V option

* rshd/rexecd now switches to the users home directory after
  authentication.

* rlogin now supports XON/XOFF without needing -8.

* syslogd now can actually disable forwarding.

* talk allows the use of 8-bit ASCII.

* telnet not subject to certain DNS spoofing techniques that could
  possibly foil Kerberos authentication.

* (possibly some more: the NEWS file needs further inspection)

Regards,
Sergey
