Fixed a few minor things:

  - Fixed so editing a message doesn't set its author as you.

  - Moved buttons above message body, to enable editing of
    message if it is messed up (since the message can contain
    arbitrary HTML which is served verbatim, and might be
    so bad as to render the edit button useless.)

  - Added quote sentinel  ("<!-- ' \" > message >")
    between messages so attributes without
    closing quotes don't screw up the page as bad;
    when rendered, message is shown which indicates
    an endquote is missing.

we currently use.

* New modules.conf that works with 7.1 and 7.3 (old one broke on 7.3)
  - Uses module aliases, instead of probe directives

* Updated sfs-install target for linux startup cmds
  - RCDIR variable was used inconsistently
  - reorged rc.d startup script links to not start sfs by default
  - still need to revert back to the 6.0 startup script in the cvs repo

* Updated common directory "other" target to include slothd

assumed that the fdesc set was correctly reported when select was interrupted
by a signal.  In the new Linux kernels, this is not the case, and is certainly
not safe to assume in the first place.  Did some cleanups of the daemon loop
as well.

Added uid to generated date on pages, as per Leigh's request;

When not logged in:
"Generated <date>."

When logged in:
"Generated for <uid>, <date>."

the news page. Better than trying to keep Changelog.html in sync.
Change docwrapper.php3 to treat .txt files as special so that they are
readable.

... forgot to run autoconf.

tbswapin and tbswapout are no more.

finally! These have been in the DB for a long time, but never used.
As Eric pointed out, its easier to get realistic address info from
people if we provide the right forms. The downside is that all current
users will have to adjust their info the next time they edit their
info. Thats okay. I thought about forcing all users to do it the next
time they log in, but I figured people would scream.

Instructions for adding 'webnews' table.

Fixed minor renderer bug for nodes with more than 9 (!) interfaces.
(was looking for '\d', should have been looking for '\d+'.)

Did some editing,
and incorporated recent changes in group mechanism.

(originally called for just the main address) so that all the routes
get installed properly.

New 'blog-like news system.
Should make it easier to keep up with news updates!
Since:
  1. Doesn't require editing news.html in the CVS tree and
     recopying it/reinstalling just to add a news item.
  2. Doesn't involve editing menu.php3,
     since the modified date and "new" icon is automatic now.
  3. Looks nicer.

Also, it is based off the db, so other sites can have other news,
which they can maintain independently.

There are of course, neat features that have been suggested that
could go with this, such as message updates and automatic
mailing list mailings of news, but those don't exist yet...

Added new feature 'Experiment Modify'.
Now available (to admins only for now) from the showexp page.

Warning! doing a modify which alters the topology will probably
require a "reboot all nodes" afterwards.
(There will be a checkbox soon in the modify experiment page.)

Adding/removing delay nodes seems to work fine without reboots, though.

Warning! If the new version of the experiment cannot be mapped
 (not enough nodes available, for instance) the experiment will be
 swapped out! This will get fixed later.

Prerun backs up the experiment topology, so using a bad NS
file doesn't result in experiment termination.

As part of this, added library functions to libdb to
delete, backup, and restore both virtual and physical experiment state.

forthcoming, along with addition of idletimes, idlemail, and webidlemail.

options in the future, they'll get this one too.

Obviously, this won't scale to too many sites, so we'll have to
figure something else out.

clients so they can create a proper .forward file. 2) Add some
test code for seeing how feasible it is to do accounts on ops/tips
using tmcd instead of direct ssh. Initial results are not good; too
many accounts; does not scale well. Going to need a smarter protocol
for doing hundreds of accounts, but I will leave this code in place
for now. Note, unlike testbed nodes, control nodes must connect with
ssl.

the hosts files that we put on free nodes. For reserved nodes, we
start a new hosts file from scrath, and qualify localhost with
the domain found from the hostname command.

and havoc upon all mankind and testbed users.

Before:
The main defs file (ie for configure) had an entry for WWWDEFS that
pointed to a <@WWWDEFS@>-defs.php3 file in the www/ directory. The www
defs file loaded some values about web pages, URLs, and some web
configuration parameters.

Problem:
Anything that was only in the www defs file was not accessible in the rest
of the universe (ie perl, C, and any other non-web-page scripts). For
instance, you couldn't have a perl script send an email to a user with a
link to the web site.

Solution:
Nuke all the www-defs files, move any important values into the main
configure, and change the web defs infrastructure to respect that. This
also meant adding about 3 lines each to all of the configure defs files.
(There really are about 10 new values you can change in your defs file,
but in almost all cases, the default values are the right thing.)

Upgrading:
External sites will need to move a few variables from their www-defs file
into their configure defs file. The example file should make it pretty
obvious. They may also want to customize some of the other vars that are
mentioned in configure.in and www/defs.php3.in .

work for virtual links when the node was a router, so pull them out
until I have the ipfw changes installed (the changes to use nexthop).

and when the last one was sent.
