Update cfengine to 1.6.3

	* Expansion of $(dollar) broken in 1.6.0 - fixed

	* Locking problem in cfd fixed. Problem causing access
	denied while re-reading config files. MAXTRIES increased
	for high volume services, was causing premature apoptosis.

	dest= could not refer to a filename with spaces, fixed.

	* Made recipient variables in client.c long instead of
	size_t in rstat, for 64 bits. With %ld in scanf.

	* Cfengine 1.6.0-1.6.3 introduces filters into processes
	and files.

	* 1.6.3 change from Berkeley DB2 to DB3 - not backward compatible!!!
	  Update Berkeley db with
	     cd build_unix
	     ../dist/configure
	     make; make install
	     ln -s /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.2 /usr/local/BerkeleyDB

	* 1.6.0.a2: re-released to Mark after stupid mistakes.

	* src/Makefile.am (noinst_HEADERS): add cfparse.h

	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): add acconfig.h

	* 1.6.0.a2: released to Mark

	* General: Attempted to convert to reincorporate all my Automake
	stuff into the release.

2000-06-12  Mark Burgess <Mark.Burgess@hio.no>

	* 1.6.0-alpha1: released

	* General: Rewrite of DCE code by Transarc/IBM.  Add elsedefine=
	tag as complement to define=.  CompressCommand action=compress in
	files, tidy, compress=true for compressing files on the fly.  Bug
	in copy with size= fixed.  Was ignored if file didn't exist.
	Modules: in addition to setting classes, can return lines
	=ENVVAR=value which sets cfengine environment variables.  This
	allows modules to set variables which can be inherited directly by
	scripts.

2000-05-11  David Masterson  <David.Masterson@kla-tencor.com>

	* contrib/Makefile.am (pkgdata_SCRIPTS): change cfemacs.el to
	cfengine.el in keeping with internal documentation.  Also renamed
	the file as well.

2000-05-08  David Masterson  <David.Masterson@kla-tencor.com>

	* Release: V1.6 released to Mark for verification.

	* Everything:  Many things have been changed and reorganized for
	the shift to automake generated Makefiles.  See the end of the
	NEWS file for more information.

	* ChangeLog: Created and initialized with old VERSION.DIFF


***************** Minor Version 5 ********************

KNOWN BUGS: linux, when making directories, ownership can perms can be wrong.


1.5.4
  Added security message in checksum=md5 for cfengine if new files appear
  Bug in class evaluation with multiple embedded groups fixed
  Bug in file transfer could hang a server in special circumstances.
  Bug in secure recursive copy (access denied incorrectly).

  Type change, size is off_t in cfstat struct

  Multiple define bug in copy: could cause endless loop
  Thread counting error fixed in cfd
  Required/disk suspicious warnings now cause classes to be defined
  Resolver could delete substring lines

  Extra measures against Denial of Service attacks on cfd, only one
  instance of a host-IP may be connected at one time.

  1) Multiple connections from the same host are refused by default
     (before any recv())
  2) A DenyConnectionsFrom list will prevent named IP adresses from connecting
     (before any recv) or a general AllowConnectionsFrom mask...
  3) If the thread table is full for more than five requests, cfd commits
     suicide (apoptosis) to avoid resource usage by spamming.

  The control variable "DenyConnectionsFrom = ( ip1 ip2 ... )" allows a list
  of numerical IP masks to be specified, which cfd will deny connections from.
  This can be used to prevent hanging connection attacks from malicous hosts
  and other Denial of Service attacks.

   e.g. cfd.conf

     control:

      AllowConnectionsFrom ( 128.39.89 )
      DenyConnectionsFrom = ( 128.39.89.4 )

  This is in addition to tcp wrapper stuff, but the TCP wrapper code cannot
  protect against denial of service attacks.
  typecheck=false in copy switches off error messages on type mismatch.
