[Linux-decnet-user] dnprogs 2.17 released

[Patrick C. <pa...@ty...>]

This is a minor update that mainly fixes a couple of bugs that were annoying me 
as well as some Debian-specific changes.

For most of you the only two changes are that the tools now use cuserid() rather
than getlogin() to determine the username for proxy connections. This means that
you can use "su" or "sudo" and get the proxy you expected, and the fixing of a
stupid "error: success" message from dncopy.

This is the changelog:

  * Don't print "done" when stopping daemons in dnet-progs.init.d
  * Use cuserid() rather than getlogin() to determine username so that
    commands run under su and sudo work as expected
  * include <stdarg> in rms/getreply.cc so it compiles on hppa
  * Use -fsigned-char when building uulib to make it more portable
  * Fixed message "Error opening file for input: Success" when attempting
    to fetch a locked file using dncopy
  * Fix some lintian warnings
