Version 1.0.3 of Mandos is released. This is primarily a bug fix
release.
Changes since version 1.0.2:
* Server
** Now tries to change to user and group "_mandos" before falling back
to trying the old values "mandos", "nobody:nogroup", and "65534".
** Now does not abort on startup even if no clients are defined in
clients.conf.
* Client
** Plugins named "*.dpkg-bak" are now ignored.
** Hopefully fixed compilation failure on some architectures where the
C compiler does not recognize the "-z" option as a linker option.
Changes in the Debian package since version 1.0.2-1:
* Remove debconf note: (Closes: #509653: Debconf abuse)
* Add NEWS file to /usr/share/doc directories.
* Use and create "_mandos" user+group. Rename old user+group created
by older versions of packages.
* Fix manual pages by adding build-depend on "docbook-xml".
We can also report some good news: the previous version (1.0.2-1) was
sponsored by Andreas Henriksson and uploaded to Debian, and
subsequently *accepted* by the Debian FTP masters into Debian
unstable. We can only hope that this version also finds a sponsor.
:-)
