Wayne Johnson commented on NET-24:
----------------------------------

I ran into the same issue and implemented the bypass listed in NET-141.  

1) RCommandClient will automatically retry a connect on another port pair on a 
ConnectException in the socket.connect. To get around this I added a catch to 
Christian's code to catch a ConnectException and rethrow it as a IOException.  
Here's a code snippet for my modification:

                socket.bind(localaddr);
                try
                {
                    socket.connect(remoteaddr, connectionTimeout);
                }
                /* RCommandClient intercepts SocketExceptions and blindly 
retries on 
                 * another socket pair.  A ConnectException is more permanent 
that just
                 * having a busy socket pair and we rethrow it as an 
IOException to get
                 * by the intercept. 
                 */
                catch (ConnectException e)
                {
                    throw new IOException(e);
                }

2) There is a typo in Christian's code in the method when using InetAddress to 
createSocket(). The code should be

       public Socket createSocket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress 
localAddress, int localPort) throws IOException
{ return createSocket(address.getHostName(), port, localAddress, localPort); }

Note that the original code passed 0 for the localPort when the user had 
specified a localPort.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.2
>         Environment: Operating System: All

>
> When calling the connect method on org.apache.commons.net.bsd.RLoginClient,
> timeout can take 10 minutes +.
> I have found that this is down to the RCommandClient connect method.
> The exception to catch should be a BindException.  The logic here is that so
> long as we have got a valid local port and address (no BindException) then we
> shouldn't bother trying all of the other local ports.  If this is adopted, 
> then
> a connect exception is thrown from the connect method indicating that the 
> remote
> server is not present or responding.
> Please see snippet from the corrected connect method below.
>         for (localPort = MAX_CLIENT_PORT; localPort >= MIN_CLIENT_PORT; 
> --localPort)
>         {
>             try
>             {
>                 _socket_ =
>                     _socketFactory_.createSocket(host, port, localAddr, 
> localPort);
>             }
> //            catch (SocketException e)
>             catch (BindException e)
>             {
>                 continue;
