Index:	/etc/rlogind

Description:
	Rlogind chews away time while trying to send to a remote user
	who has blocked his rlogin process (either by stopping it or
	hitting ^S).

Repeat-By:
	rlogin to another host.  cat a big file (/etc/termcap).
	Then stop the rlogin process (~^Z).
	Do a ps on the remote machine and look at the rlogind process.

Fix:	None.
	The earlier suggested fix (which causes the write to block)
	is unacceptable since it makes pipe's non-atomic.

	Someone must have noticed and fixed this by now!
