We would be very interested to know of problems with rlinetd.
What made you suspect rlinetd as the cause of the problem? You said that your problem was that client machines had "to be rebooted to access the internet again". How would any problem
with rlinetd be fixed by rebooting client machines? Was all
internet access affected, or just the irc which required identd
auth? What happened if you just restarted rlinetd?

Well, the mirror sites are just mirror sites...

No it didn't, but it does now. Thanks for bringing this to our attentino. Sorry if this caused a problem for you. Although there were various files on the ftp site, you didn't see an announcement anywhere, did you?
Cheers
