AFD

Fix multiple local root exploits in get_afd_path() and get_mon_path(), which are used by nearly all binaries. Fixed some memory allocation bugs in dir_ctrl dialog. New option wmo2ascii, to remove SOH, ETX and the two carriage returns from the text. Old files are now logged in the receive log. Option to insert the current date into the subject of a mail and in the directory name when retrieving files from a remote host.

This release adds a new option execd to delete the original file. Dialog dir_ctrl now shows the number of files and bytes in the directories and queue that are to be monitored. The assemble option now works correctly, as does specifying a group name together with a hostname. A problem where the remove_dir() function would call closedir() twice and crash was fixed, as was a bug in create_db() that cause some files to be deleted when reordering the hostnames.

Priorities were broken in in the previous release, and have now been fixed. The amg process sometimes got the number of directories to be monitored wrong, causing it to crash or just ignore a directory. In the afd_ctrl dialog the bottom line is now drawn correctly when there is a change in the number of rows.

More changes in line style are now allowed for in
the afd_ctrl dialog. When using server=hostname,
the hostname will be displayed in the afd_ctrl
dialog. A "reply-to" option was added for the
mailto scheme. The number of logfiles that are
kept for history can now be configured in
AFD_CONFIG. The afd.spec file was included to
generate RPMs.

A bug in the renaming function has been fixed. The speed of re-reading the main configuration file DIR_CONFIG has been improved. Jobs removed by the show_queue dialog are now removed from FD.
