Update the LDAP check to do something more reasonable. The old LDAP plugin probably never worked, at least with OpenLDAP. Thanks to Quanah Gibson-Mount for the fixes.
Check for inet_aton in libresolv for older versions of Solaris.
Add the -S option, which says to return load and user information unmolested when replying to version two queries rather than setting all of the loads to the calculated weight of the first service and zeroing the user information.
Fix user handling on Linux. Due to an invalid utmp path, a logic error in caching user login results, and an incorrect path for the console, all the user numbers on Linux were always zero prior to this fix.
Add considerably better documentation on what weight the default load service calculates, including its various adjustments based on the number of logged-in users.
In lbcdclient, don't send a one-byte packet to the server before sending the real query.
When building from a different build directory than the source directory, the makefile built and looked for the man pages in the wrong path. Look for and build man pages in the source directory.
Fixed a misuse of the third argument to waitpid that was causing use of a command to generate weights to fail on some platforms.
Document lbcd's behavior on hosts with multiple addresses and the use of -b and running multiple instances of lbcd to ensure that replies go out from the right source address. Unfortunately, the design of the Unix UDP API makes it more difficult than it's worth to try to reply to incoming packets with the source address of the interface on which they were received.
Added the -b option to lbcd to bind to only the specified address instead of all available addresses.
Documentation updates, including adding a README file and reformatting documentation to match other Stanford packages. Added URL information to the manual pages.
Fixed a long-standing bug in round-robin (-R) mode when responding to v2 requests. The response packet was not being correctly changed on Linux and other little-endian systems.
Set the 5 and 15 minute load to a constant value as well as the 1 minute load when using round-robin, just in case.
Added manual pages for both lbcd and lbcdclient.
Changed the default PID file location for lbcd to /var/run/lbcd.pid, which is FHS-compliant and supported on most operating systems now.
Added Debian build rules and Makefile support for building Debian packages, and cleaned up the configure and build system.
Fixed a bug with va_end usage on systems where va_end is not a no-op and fixed some setpgrp portability issues.
Added a make dist target to the Makefile.
Ported to IRIX 6.5. The IRIX support code underwent a general cleanup.
Standardize on 32 bytes for protocol v3 service length and add protocol v3 extensions to the server.
Ported to IRIX 6.x.
Fix protocol v2 conversion handling for little-endian machines.
Fix Solaris utmp gathering mechanism by checking the utmp entry type.
First complete protocol v3 server.
