ANNOUNCE: LSH-1.5.5

News for the 1.5.5 release

	Added SOCKS-style proxying to lsh and lshd. See the new -D
	command line option. Supports both SOCKS-4 and SOCKS-5.

	The lsh client no longer sets its stdio file descriptors into
	non-blocking mode, which should avoid a bunch of problems. As
	a consequence, the --cvs-workaround command line option has
	been deleted.

	In the user lookup code, lshd now ignores the shadow database
	if getspnam returns NULL.

	In the server pty setup code, use the group "system" as a
	fallback if the group "tty" doesn't exist. This is the case on
	AIX. (There are however more problems on AIX, which makes it
	uncertain that lshd will work out of the box).

	Deleted the --ssh1-fallback option for lshd. I hope ssh1 is
	dead by now; if it isn't, you have to run ssh1d and lshd on
	different ports.
	
	Deleted code for bug-compatibility with ancient versions of
	Datafellow's SSH2. There are zero bug-compatibility hacks in
	this version.
