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.
:-)
