A bug introduced in svn 11946 broke rdate. It no longer sets the
current system time when no options are specified. The options have
the opposite sense from what one might think, and, oddly enough, -ps
is intentionally a no-op.
Quoth rdate(8) from the BSD System Manager's Manual:
-p Do not set, just print the remote time
-s Do not print the time.
bb_lookup_port now takes 3 parameters but rdate has not been modified
accordingly and fails to compile in the current CVS version.
The modification below fixes the problem.
Now, RFC868 allows both UDP and TCP implementations of the time protocol
so this may not work if someone defines a udp time service other than 37
but who would do that?
function as there is no gracefull way of handling failures.
Rename bb_getport to bb_lookup_port, allow a default port to be
specified so it always returns a correct value.
Modify ftpgetput/rdate/wget to use the new interface.
wget/rdate now use etc/services with a falback default value.
* The "rdate.patch" file makes rdate to NOT settimeofday if the date to be
set equals current date. This prevents the system from experiencing nasty time
discontinuities caused by sub-second changes, with a protocol that has only
over second resolution. Depending on your taste, the "fprintf(stderr..." may be
removed.
in order to fix the problems with round robin DNS reported
by Andrew Flegg:

This removes the ipv6 specific xconnect dns lookups. I do
not see why that would need to be special cased for ipv6 as
was done, but that will just have to be tested.
So IPV6 people -- please test this change!

xconnect helper routine which does:
-address and port resolving
-tries to connect to all resolved addresses until connected
-uses getaddrinfo, so works for IPv6 too
This patch also ports rdate, telnet, and wget to use the new
xconnect function. Thanks Bart!
busybox.h which slowed compiles. I left only what was needed and then fixed up
all the apps to include their own header files. I also fixed naming for pwd.h
and grp.h functions. Tested to compile and run with libc5, glibc, and uClibc.
