The first set of patches to Moira release 2.2 are now available. This
patch fixes the following problems:
1. create patchlevel.h
2. Problem with "make install" on top level directory.
3. Typecheck filesystem access flags from the database.
4. Improved error message from the dcm when a generator fails.
5. Only use optimized malloc with Ingres version 5 on a vax.
6. The no-host placeholder [NONE] failed to survive the hostname
canonicalization routine.
7. Allow mrtest to take a command from the Unix command line.
8. Improved error reporting for missing Ingres range statements.
9. Don't report false authentication errors when the database is
unavailable because of deadlock or timeout.
10. Don't allow multiple users with the same encrypted ID number.
11. Make sure the quota information is handled correctly when a
filesystem type is changed.
12. Allow the register_user query to work on users in state 6.
13. Improve authentication error message from blanche.
14. A number of typos are fixed in error messages in chfn.
15. If someone started userreg who was in half-enrolled state, he
would never be successful in registering.
16. Sometimes userreg would immediately clear the screen after
printing an error message.
17. Userreg sometimes incorrectly capitalized someone's middle name.
18. Userreg couldn't decode kerberos and some Moira errors.
19. The default path for the script when creating a new service entry
in moira was wrong.
20. Allow more of commands to moira client to be specified on the
command line before being prompted.
Note that after applying this patch, you will have to edit a new
variable, INGRESVER, in include/moira_site.h. This variable names
which version of Ingres you have on your system and is used to
decide if we need the improved version of malloc or not.
This patch is available via anonymous FTP from ATHENA-DIST.MIT.EDU

As always, please report any bugs that you find to
bug-moira@athena.mit.edu. I would also appreciate hearing if anyone
else is actually using Moira in a service environment.
