Package: rsh-redone-server
Version: 66-1
Severity: normal

When doing lots of connections in "quick" succession (say, one per
second), then, after a while, connections fails with:

   poll: protocol failure in circuit setup

This is not due to the inetd rate limit (which I changed to 1000/minute
for the shell service).

Replacing rsh-redone-server by rsh-server fixes this problem completely.

Sometimes I get this message in the syslog:

Oct  6 06:02:47 (none) in.rshd: Connection from cerebro on illegal port 0.

Sometime this:

Oct  6 06:02:43 (none) in.rshd: Error while receiving stderr port number from 
cerebro: Success

Sometimes none except the normal in.rsh connection from and pam messages.

Incidentaly, port 0 is a valid stderr port number in the protocol, so this
should be supported.

I will likely not be able to test this further, as the other
incompatibilities of rsh-redone finally forced me to uninstall it
everywhere, but the above should makme it possible at least to fix the
stderr-port-is-0 bug.
