I think it's now time for the diald-1.01 release!

Hi,

I'm a long-time diald user, and I since the modern linux kernels
are declaring that ethertap is obsolete, tun is the thing, I finally
made a new, this time successful, attempt to get diald+tun working.
(I failed in January).    I used the diald-1.01 cvs branch, not diald-2.0 cvs.

 A few tweeks were needed, but now it works.


cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/diald login
(just press return when the CVA password is asked for)
then:

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/diald \
         co -r DIALD1_0 diald        (all on one line)


will get the diald-1.01 cvs source instead of the 2.0 version (work in
progress)..
  

Here are three patches for small fixes.

diald-1.01-tundoc.patch    (a) adds an entry for HAVE_LINUX_IF_TUN_H  to
                               config.h.in    (This was a real GOTCHA for
                               building diald with tun support till I
                               found the problem....)
                           (b) Adds a README.tun doc (also needed  :) )

diald-1.01-void.patch       silences a compiler warning: functions refered
                            to by pointers need void arguments....
                            (del_impulse, del_connection in firewall.c)


diald-1.01-utils.patch     slight revision of Per Jenssen's patch for using
                           netdb to parse the /etc/sevices file.   I added
                           a test for netdb.h in configure.in  (and hence in
                           configure after running autoconf), and an entry
                           USE_NETDB in config.h.in that controls use of netdb
                           rather than the home-made parser, and is switched off
                           if netdb.h is missing.   I let USE_NETDB be true by
                           default if netdb.h is found.  (Is  there ever
                           some reason to not use netdb even if netdb.h is
                           found ???)

The bzipped patches are attached.

                              
Jaggy, It would be a good idea to get a diald-1.01 release done now, as its
been a long time since 1.0.
If you are too busy, I can help: I administer two sourceforge projects
that I somehow inherited, and keep ticking over, so I have lots of 
experience at sourceforge releases.
