Subject: wanted: testers for TLI daemon wrappers

Until recently, my TCP/IP daemon wrappers (log_tcp package) supported
only the BSD-style socket programming interface. Meanwhile, more and
more systems acquire System V features, whether we like them or not.

For this reason I have added support for the System V.4-style TLI
network programming interface. The same wrapper program can now be used
both with socket-based and with TLI-based services. I have tested this
with Solaris 2.2, and did not find any new problems.

When internet protocols are being used underneath TLI, the wrapper
provides the same functions as with socket-based services; with other
transport protocols underneath TLI, the wrapper does a best effort to
identify the remote system.

However, I have no other SysV.4 clones to try things out.  Early
reports on DG/UX indicate that there are can be subtle differences in
streams implementations.

A preliminary version of the source is available from ftp.win.tue.nl as
/pub/security/log_tcp_6.0alpha.shar.Z. I'd appreciate any feedback.
