Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-10-11 13:42:40 UTC 
The rexec() function in rexec.c is supposed to receive the second argument
(rport) in network-byte order, but it doesn't swap it back to host order
before passing it to snprintf() for formatting the strings.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2000-10-13 06:08:35 UTC 
Do you have some testcase, like e.g. rsh does not work or something like that?
I've submitted a patch to fix this to Ulrich, but would like to verify it.

Comment 3 Nalin Dahyabhai 2000-10-19 14:15:47 UTC 
Sorry for the delay.  The test case is to run rexec to any host from a
little-endian machine.  If you strace it, it'll try to connect to port 2 instead
of 512.
Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2000-10-19 14:50:59 UTC 
Please check glibc-2.1.95-1, it should be fixed there.
