Hello,

Again a new hdup. I'm not yet releasing it on my website, nor on freshmeat.
As I want some feedback :-) 

(If I don't get any, I'll assume it works and will release 1.6.29. This
release will be *identical* to what I'm sending to you guys now).

You can find the 1.6.29 release on:
http://www.miek.nl/hdup-1.6.29.tar.gz
md5sum: 3cacf4e7e45c5277471ab1248d7e4c7b

Have fun,

--Miek

Some remarks:

Default installation directory is: /usr/local/sbin
and for hdup.conf: /usr/local/etc

If you want hdup.conf in /etc, use:
./configure --prefix=/
Mind you: hdup itself will then be installed in /usr/sbin
This is more consistent than the old behavoir.

Futher more a remote hdup now says:
/usr/local/sbin/hdup (remote): Line 16: scp option  : is not a keyword.
/usr/local/sbin/hdup (remote): FATAL: The configuration file had errors in it.
/usr/local/sbin/hdup (remote): WARNING: SIGPIPE received, cleaning up!
/usr/local/sbin/hdup (remote): WARNING: AN ERROR OCCURED!

This is great for debugging non-working remote backups! (As I experienced 
in this case myself. Turned out 'scp option' was specified in some old
hdup.conf on the remote machine....)
