This is a minor release. It fixes various bugs related to new
versions of Linux (RedHat 5). All previous release notes and
documentation from the 1.0 Release still apply.
1.0 Release
After installing rumor, you should add rumor's bin directory
to your PATH and rumor's man directory to your MANPATH.
If your mail program is not located in '/usr/ucb/mail',
please edit resolvers/demo_resolver in your rumor home
directory (i.e., /usr/local/rumor).
The system-wide resolver list is not installed by either the
source or binary packages. You can get the file
rumor-resolver-list from our ftp site for use as a template.
It should be installed in rumor's etc directory.
Extraneous output from your .cshrc or other shell configuration file
can cause rumor to fail. To test this, try the command
rsh host date where host is
the name of a remote host. If the output is not the same as
the date command, you may need to modify your shell
startup files.
Rumor requires that bash is installed on your system as
/bin/bash for some shell scripts to run.
