Tnm changes since 2.1.10:
15/6/01 (bug fix) Fixed a buffer overrun in ntping. This is actually
the reason to make this bugfix release public.
2/11/99 (bug fix) Make sure that remaining job times do not increase if
the system clock moves backwards.
17/5/99 (bug fix) Make sure that commands bound to a recv event are
always evaluated.
6/4/99 (bug fix) Fixed a Y2K bug in tnmHttp.c (thanks to bkozuma@aol.com
for finding this problem).
23/3/99 (bug fix) Accept derived types (e.g. DisplayString) in a varbind
list.
9/3/99 (bug fix) Fixed bugs in straps.c which could cause security
problems due to buffer overruns or signed/unsigned conversion.
8/3/99 (new feature) Added the global tnm(cache) variable which points
to a directory where Tnm saves frozen MIB files. The default value for
tnm(cache) is compatible with previous 2.1.X releases.
Tkined changes since 1.4.10:
21/4/99 (bug fix) The size of the canvas is now independent from the
resolution of the display. Further, PostScript dumps should now fit
on the selected page size.
variable (caused by other parts of that patch). This lead to
precompiled MIB files being installed in "unknown-os" instead of
in "${MACHINE_ARCH}-${OPSYS}" when scotty was compiled with
optimization (which is the default), and subsequent mismatch between
installed files and PLIST.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
cases scotty can end up calling recvfrom() twice in a row with no
intervening select(), and can thus otherwise end up in a hang.

tcl, and the scotty interpreter, which has tnm built in. Note that it is
expected that many users will choose to do
#!/usr/pkg/bin/tclsh
package require Tnm
instead of
#!/usr/pkg/bin/scotty
This package and the pkgsrc/net/tkined package supplant the pkgsrc/net/scotty
package, updating the pkgsrc scotty support to scotty-2.1.10, and adapting it
to tcl/tk-8.3.2.
Changes to the scotty packages since scotty-2.1.8:
* tcl-scotty and tkined are now separate packages. tcl-scotty installs
the tnm network monitoring extensions for tcl and the scotty interpreter,
and can be installed on machines without x11, and by extension without
tk. tkined installs the program tkined, which is a (really cool)
graphical network diagraming/discovery/monitoring app based on tnm.
changes to the tnm module itself since scotty-2.1.8:
----------------- Released 2.1.10, 29/10/98 -----------------------
22/9/98 (feature change) Changed the "--disable-multicast" configure
option to "--enable-multicast". This means that multicast support is
turned off by default.
15/9/98 (bug fix) Added additional tests to calls to inet_addr in
order to accept the value 255.255.255.255.
9/7/98 (bug fix) Make sure we return a Tcl error message when the
MIB parser detects an error.
8/7/98 (bug fix) Map the BITS data type to the underlying OCTET STRING
in the MIB parser.
8/7/98 (bug fix) Allow relative pathes in the tnm(mibs) variable so
that one can write "vendor/file.mib" and scotty will search for the
file in $tnm(library)/site/vendor/file.mib. (Suggestion and patch from
Joe Rogers <joe@usf.edu>.)
26/6/98 (bug fix) The code now accepts traps and informs with
arbitrary community strings. This behaviour is now consistent with the
way SNMPv3 folks look at the problem. The community string is passed
in the session handle to the callback.
25/6/98 (bug fix) Added back code to encode and decode Opaque values.
2/5/98 (bug fix) Fixed the MIB parser to use SEQUENCE as a default
type for unknown type names used in SYNTAX clauses. This solves some
problems with forward references by making a best guess.
2/5/98 (bug fix) Handle variables that can not be created by returning
an error message instead of dumping core.
----------------- Released 2.1.9, 23/4/98 -----------------------
23/4/98 (bug fix) Fixed the non-unique request ID bug. Added the
cleanup loop to close all unused file descriptors to straps.
25/2/98 (bug fix) Inclusion of <asm/byteorder.h> caused problems
and RedHat systems. We now use the configured WORDS_BIGENDIAN
value to determine the byte order in ntping.c
4/2/98 (bug fix) Fixed the selection of SNMP agents in the standalone
version of the mibtree script.
