- Unsupported stuff
-
Although written and supplied by Apple, they are unsupported, simply
because they haven't gone through the whole test suite. However,
they have been tested before dropped here, so you shouldn't worry
too much. Fixes for 3.0 only are found in 3.0; for 3.0.1 only are in
3.0.1; for 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 are in 3.0.x; for 3.0, 3.0.1, 3.0.2 and
3.1 in 3.x.x. Present files include:
- rpc.rstatd
-
Now provides correct load average info. Only for 3.0!
- pstat
-
Now releases memory as required. Only for 3.0!
- New A/UX-MacOS Patch files
-
Drop-in replacements for Patch.0178 and Patch.067C
found in /mac/lib/Patches. These files fix the A/UX-
MacOS System heap expansion problems that prevent
you from loading lots of memory hungry Extensions and
CDEVs. This is fixed under 3.0.1 so do NOT install
these under 3.0.1 !!!
- SCSI ToolBox
-
A super-nice (and welcome!) extension that "implements"
the Mac SCSI Manager under A/UX 3.0.x. This allows you to
run applications and drivers that need to talk to the
SCSI Manager to run. The main feature of this is that
it allows you to listen to audio CDs under A/UX!
Version 1.0b4 by Kelly King and Andrew Kass @ Apple.
- New, more secure, sh for A/UX
-
Replacement for /bin/sh that fixes a few security holes,
in SUID programs that use 'system()' or 'popen()', by
resetting IFS before a script is executed.
** A MUST HAVE !! **
- telnet and telnetd
-
Replacements for in.telnetd and telnet. Fixes some
problems with the distribution copies as well as
providing additional capabilities.

"If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as a man
and then compare the relative brain size, we now find that the penguin's
brain is still smaller. But, and this is the point, it is larger than it WAS!"
