Fedora Core 4: mgetty Update 1.1.33 Moderate: Fax Handling Fix

fedora
Calendar Grey July 27, 2005
Scroller Fedora
The latest mgetty update for Fedora Core 4 resolves various problems related to data and fax modems, promoting improved connectivity and reduced interruptions in service.
Updated package.

Summary

The mgetty package contains a "smart" getty which allows logins over a

serial line (i.e., through a modem). If you are using a Class 2 or 2.0

modem, mgetty can receive faxes. If you also need to send faxes,

you need to install the sendfax program.

If you plan to dial in to your system using a modem, you should

install the mgetty package. If you want to send faxes using mgetty and

your modem, you need to install the mgetty-sendfax program. If you

need a viewer for faxes, you also need to install the mgetty-viewfax

package.

- fix bug 162174: prevent uninterruptable hang on exit() when

direct line disconnected (kernel bug 164002)

do tcflush(1,TCOFLUSH) before exit() in sig_goodbye()

block signals before entering syslog()

workaround build system 'buffer overflow checks' bug:

use memcpy instead of sprintf in record.c, line 53
