Subject: WU-FTPD 2.4.2 Academ Beta 7 is ready for testing

This is another release candidate. This version has the following 
fixes/additions:

Bug report from Evan Champion <[email-masked]> concerning the diagnostics
from the randomsig subroutine.

Support for SCO from Bill Aten <[email-masked]>.

Additions of a cookie '%u' to extensions.c which will show the RFC931 remote
username when available. I somehow like it to have the remote user see we
take the 'all actions are logged' line seriously. Addition from Bill Aten 
<[email-masked]>.

Changes in the configuration files for BSD/OS to accomodate a bug in the
sprintf inheritied from BSD 4.4 Lite. (Affects FreeBSD, NetBSD and BSD/OS)

Support for Hitachi Unix varient added. [Need name of contributor!]

NOTE: There is some pending changes for Linux that I am waiting for the
contributor to resend. I mistakenly removed those before I reviewed them.

I have heard nothing from the AIX user community. If you are an AIX site, 
PLEASE TEST THIS and let me know if it works ok.

I have tested it on BSD/OS 1.1 and 2.0.1, NetBSD 1.0, FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE,
Interactive Unix 3.2.2, Linux 1.2.8, Solaris 2.4 (sparc) and SunOS 4.1.4. It
appears to work fine on all of those. I don't currently have access to an 
IRIX machine, so I have not tested it there. I would like to hear from an SCO
site since the SCO support has been updated and I don't have SCO to test on.

I would like to concentrate on bug fixes if any to get this to release.
Please send your bug fixes to [email-masked].

Thanks!

Sure. BTW has the "no timeout" bug been fixed this time?
