1. NIS (YP) databases do not work correctly under Ultrix 4.1 (DEC/MIPS).
Reason: last character of matched value as returned from yp_match is
chopped off in daemon.c. Suggested fix:
------- daemon.c -------

--- 921,931 ----
yp_match(yp_domain, &db->db_name[1], lowkey,
strlen(key), &result.dptr, &result.dsize) != 0)
result.dptr = NULL;
+ #ifdef sun
else
/* smash newline */
result.dptr[result.dsize--] = '\0';
+ #endif
}
else

2. When a .forward file exists in the addressee's home dir, mail is sent both
the the forwarding address(es) and to the addressee (which is incorrect, the
addressee should not receive a copy unless specifically mentioned). This
has something to do with the newly introduced QSELFREF bit, but I have not
figured a fix yet.
3. newaliases is executable by *any* user, no matter what the permissions on
the aliases and aliases.{dir,pag} files are.
