This is to announce patch #3 to Moira release 2.2.  This patchfile is
available as pub/moira/patch3 on athena-dist.mit.edu (18.71.0.38).
This patch contains fixes for:

1. Update patchlevel.h to indicate we are at patchlevel 3.
2. Have the moira client double-check that the real name of a user
   being added follows the capitalization rules, and warn if not.
3. Problems dereferencing NULL in several places.
4. The reg_svr sometimes dumped core do to a botched malloc because of
   problems in the glue library.
5. Sometimes after a server error, all subsequent operations fail with
   the same error.
6. Accidentally installed the gdb lint library as lsmsgdb instead of
   lmrgdb.
7. Make sure that FixCase() uppercases starting letters in names.
8. update_server shouldn't mask of SIGCHILD in it's children processes.
9. moira.h should declare the function mr_motd().
10.Gramatical error in Cluster Data menu of moira client.
11.In moira client, refresh screen before starting a query with the
   server.
12.Fix bug in reordering of filesystems in fsgroups with the moira client.
13.Attempting to set a user's pobox to a foreign address with the
   moira client would delete that pobox.

Note that development here at Athena has gone past this.  These
patches are made available as an aid to other sites running code based
on the distributed Moira sources.  We are at work enhancing Moira
further, including a port to ANSI SQL so that it may run over various
vendor's databases.  The new version will be announced here when it is
ready.
