hdup 2.0.7

Hello,

I've just updated my homepage with a new hdup release. The changelog
for this release is:

  - bug fixes -
  [Bugs]
  * Really allow \, in the config file. This is done with
    an evil hack whereby \, is rewritten as <space>\. It's
    ugly but I'll leave it in (until I rewrite the whole
    parser in yacc/lex someday - if ever).
  * The locking has changed and now uses open(bla, O_EXCL|O_CREAT)
    This closes a race condition - but this fails on older NFS < 3,
    but I don't expect anybody to run that these days.
    (thanks to Hotzi for reporting and testing)
  * When adding a / to a path, be sure there is room, a few people
    were bitten by this. [Bug #19]
  * Applied $DESTDIR patch from Richard Bos, allows mortal users
    to make an RPM, this may impact other package creators.

I've received a few reports that hdup would hang, or not cleanup it
LOCK file when a ssh transfer was interupted. This is probably due
to not handling the correct signal. I'll try to lookin to this for
hdup 2.0.8.

And finally. Joe Foley has created some scripts to use hdup as
a central backup server in a Kerberos environment. See:

(If you have question about that, don't expect an answer from me, 
I only use /etc/shadow :-) )
