It appears that the -r switch which tells the joind daemon to sleep
after some time of inactivity is broken on a V4.0 system. I have
tried with and without a space between the switch and the time
(i.e. -r 2...-r2). Nothing works!
Is there a valid range for this value? It is not mentioned in the man
pages.
Any attempt to use this switch in the inetd.conf file causes joind to
core dump. Which means your basically screwed. If you remove the
switch, the daemon runs forever which means you can't run xjoin and
so you can't administer dhcp.
Have there been any patches or modifications in v4.0a or v4.0b to
address this?

Hi, The man page is wrong, the actual switch is "-t minutes". I'll file qars for the man page and the core dump. Thanks, -Brian [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

Please add to your QAR.
The timeout does not seem to work at all. I gave this a value of 1 and
then 3 minutes and niether one seemed to allow the joind daemon to
dieout.
I shut down the only other system on the wire and observed the log
files that there were no requests.
