Index: /etc/rlogind
Description:
Rlogind chews away time while trying to send to a remote user
who has blocked his rlogin process (either by stopping it or
hitting ^S).
Repeat-By:
rlogin to another host. cat a big file (/etc/termcap).
Then stop the rlogin process (~^Z).
Do a ps on the remote machine and look at the rlogind process.
Fix: None.
The earlier suggested fix (which causes the write to block)
is unacceptable since it makes pipe's non-atomic.
Someone must have noticed and fixed this by now!
