In addition to what I mentioned to bdrosen, I've modified the discuss
server to translate incoming meeting names according to the following
rules:
* If the meeting name doesn't begin with '/' (previously
illegal), prepend /var/spool/discuss to it.
* If the meeting name begins with /usr/spool/discuss, replace
that portion with /var/spool/discuss.
(On platforms other than Linux and NetBSD, the above happens with
/var/spool/discuss replaced by /usr/spool/discuss, thus nullifying the
second rule.)
The idea is that meeting names shouldn't include pathnames for the
server filesystem, and /usr/spool/discuss is antiquated.
I've intalled the changed discuss servers in both the -current and 1.1
system packs. I haven't tested them yet.
