conserver-7.2.7 is available
There are quite an array of changes in 7.2.7. None of it was much of a
major rewite, but key pieces of code did change to fix bugs and add
functionality. As with every release, I have my fingers crossed hoping
I didn't break something - let me know if I did. Here's the complete
list of changes for you to look at:

version 7.2.7 (Apr 9, 2003):
- added test suite ('make test') for basic client/server
communication tests
- changed configure script to provide better checking of options,
hp-ux specifics, and functions
- console names are no longer case-sensitive
- fixed case-sensitive DNS name comparisons - reported by
Peter Chubb <peter@chubb.wattle.id.au> via Jorgen Hagg
<jorgen.hagg@axis.com>
- added dmalloc and openssl version numbers to -V output
- reordered includes for openssl-0.9.7a compatibility
- conserver.rc looks at pidfile to find the master pid - suggested
by Petter Reinholdtsen <petter.reinholdtsen@usit.uio.no>
- misplaced code regarding --with-regex - patch by Andreas Wrede
<andreas@planix.com>
- added password support for HP-UX trusted systems - immense
help by Greg Brown <gregb_ka6max@hotmail.com>
- potential SIGUSR1 bug where cached terminal server availability
wasn't being cleared correctly - reported by Dave Stuit
<djs@tellme.com>
- server is now more forgiving about errors instead of just
giving up and shutting everything down
- consoles that have trouble coming up (and are forced down)
now log when they come back up - suggested by Dave Stuit
<djs@tellme.com>
