local DNSSEC validation for ncftp
=================================

This patch has been tested on ncftp-3.2.0, 3.2.1 and 3.2.3.

1) Apply patch
2) run autoheader and autoconf to regenerate several important
   files. I had to use autoconf version 2.13.
3) Configure with: ./configure --with-dnssec-local-validation
4) make
5) sudo make install


Testing
=======
To verify that the patch is working, you first need to configure dnsval.conf
to require validation for a domain that is not signed. For example:

    : zone-security-expectation
                # ignore validation by default
                . ignore

                # require that dnssec-tools.org validates (it should)
                dnssec-tools.org validate

                # require that cobham.com validates (it wont)
                sparta.com validate
    ;


Next, simpy run ncftp with a few domains. This configuration does not require
validation for any domains except dnssec-tools.org and sparta.com. So:

  $ ncftp mirrors.kernel.org
  Logged in to mirrors.kernel.org. 

  $ ncftp dnssec-tools.org
  [Will resolve, but not connect, since there is no ftp server]

  $ ncftp sparta.com
  NcFTP 3.2.3 (Jul 28, 2009) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/contact/).
  Resolving sparta.com...
