Dmitry Prokhorov <dip@hq.bereg.net> - Patches to add $PORT$ token and fixes to
install scripts.

Rich Homolka <rich@stg.com> - Reported problem with binding over port 61000 for 
advanced mode was due to ip masquerading feature in Linux kernels.

Vesselin Atanasov <vesselin@bgnet.bg> - Patch to handle scan flooding
attacks (not included in this version for other reasons, but I thank him
for sending them in).

Lukasz Zalubski <chopin@ceti.com.pl> - Mirrored tools to Europe.

Don Bindner <dbindner@vh224401.truman.edu> - Found typo in UDP attack
logging that logged it as TCP attack.

Jon Coyle <jonco@sco.COM> - VERY helpful in testing for SCO. Also made up
HTML pages and man pages. I should be paying him!!

errors on various Linux platforms and submitted fixes. Also made
suggestions for areas of code cleanup.

.ignore processing that wouldn't skip commented out lines. Contributed script 
to automatically setup ignore file on system startup by parsing ifconfig.
Found bug in ignore functions that would sometimes mis-compare IP's (also
lead me to find similar bug in isBlocked function).

Reuven Gevaryahu <gevaryah@netaxs.com> - Found a nasty bug where if
you setup to ignore either a tcp or a udp event an attacker could
activate the detector, cause the blocked file to be written to and
then activate the side you *wanted* the blocking to occur on and
have Sentry ignore them. A big thanks for finding this!
