conserver 7.1.1 is available
Version 7.1.1 has a couple of bug fixes and one functional change: file
parsing. Here's the blurb from the INSTALL file warning folks about
incompatibility...

- Both conserver.passwd and conserver.cf file parsing behaves
the same now. Both use leading whitespace as a continuation
line indicator - if you have leading whitespace on a line
(aside from comments) you probably should remove it.

And, of course, here is the full list of changes...

version 7.1.1 (Aug 4, 2001):
- Now using getlogin() for real username info - suggested by
Dave Stuit <djs@gnac.com>
- gethostbyname() failure for a console now doesn't cause a
shutdown - reported by Todd Stansell <todd@stansell.org>
- Shutdown via client -q/-Q fixed (broken in 7.1.0 because of
master process fork() code)
- Password file parsing fixed to allow for empty passwords -
allowing users to access conserver without a password prompt
- Both the password and configuration files no longer have
line length limitations, they now support comments (`#' lines),
and lines with leading whitespace are continuations of
previous lines
- Client hostname/ip sometimes not printed - reported by Todd
Stansell <todd@stansell.org>
