  * sinfod now doing name lookups for hostnames every 30 minutes (useful on
    long running systems) tnx to H.Rebehn
  * removed --bindaddress --accessaddress --accessnetmask --
    accesslocalhost from sinfod - they are not directly supported by the
    asio library and can be replaces by firewall/iptables manipulations

sinfo (0.0.22) unstable; urgency=low

  * changed determination of UID of every process 
      from stat(/proc/#/stat,...)
      to a stat(/proc/#,..)
    in order to reflect the change of UID after a setuid() 
    call of a daemon e.g. sshd
     tnx to T. Koschnick

  * debian package: added a RUN_SINFO option in /etc/default/sinfo
    respectively /etc/init.d/sinfo (suggestion by M.Feuersaenger)
  * Removed scripts sinfodrestartall sshallrup etc. from /sbin.
  * install sshallsinfo in /bin and add a small manpage

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Sun, 12 Dec 2004 22:54:43 +0100

sinfo (0.0.17) unstable; urgency=low

  * changes to ensure 32, 64 bit compatibility, avoid long in exchange
    structs and use int or float
    sorry, but this makes the broadcasting incompatible again
    restart your demons
  * changed struct users.number from long to int

    nice, idle, ...)
  * changed struct uptime from long to two ints for days and seconds

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Thu,  9 Dec 2004 14:13:04 +0100

sinfo (0.0.16) unstable; urgency=low

  * added a PPC970 patch to get the right CPU speed from F.Thomas
  * added option -Ls so that the sinfo displays optionally the number of
    CPUs and their speed beside the hostnames and the system_load. This
    is made to be used by people using sinfo for rudimentary load-
    balancing. Remark: you can suppress the headlines (normally going to
    stderr) of this function by the command sinfo -qLs.
  * changed fscanf format string in cpuinfo.cc to hopefully work with
    some dual AMD Opterons
  * Added information for the linux 2.6er states iowait + (soft/hard)irq
    and broadcast them. The changes the format of the UDP packets, so
    restart all your demons.

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Mon, 29 Nov 2004 11:43:21 +0100

sinfo (0.0.15) unstable; urgency=low

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Sun, 10 Aug 2003 19:20:21 +0200

sinfo (0.0.13) unstable; urgency=low

  * changed bar length from linear to logarithmic scaling based on the
    minimum and maximum processor speeds
    use 'c' to toggle between "log", "lin" and "full".
    (I've added this function because of the big speed differences 
    in our local pc pool.)
  * increased the buffer size for reading /proc/net/dev
  * updated man-page

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Mon,  4 Aug 2003 18:04:47 +0200

sinfo (0.0.12) unstable; urgency=low

  * some adaptations for the FreeBSD 5.x series:
    the layout of struct kinfo_proc changed from FreeBSD 4 to 5

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Tue, 13 May 2003 21:38:40 +0200

sinfo (0.0.11) unstable; urgency=low

  * some fixes for gcc-3.2 on FreeBSD

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Mon, 31 Mar 2003 23:09:29 +0200

sinfo (0.0.10) unstable; urgency=low

  * enable-SIMPLE_USER_CACHE for debian binaries
  * renamed sinfod.1 to sinfod.8
  * changed interface to get memory informations (linux system)
  * Added a broadcast-only mode to sinfod. This may be useful, if you
    have some slave/server computers where nobody works interactively.
    This is a very robust mode because much functionality of sinfod is
    deactivated (collection of UDP packets, server for connection of
    sinfo). You may activate this with "--spymode". I've selected this
    name to remind you not to uses this mode on computers that are used
    interactively - probably your users will not like it.
  * support for really big memories and swap space => changed broadcast
    format
  * changed default nice value of sinfod from 15 to 10
  * changed rsh to ssh in sinfodrestartall

sinfo (0.0.9) unstable; urgency=low

  * first debianized release
  * removed rshall and rshallrup scripts because rsh normally is a
    symbolic link to ssh on debian systems
  * added long options for gnu/linux and FreeBSD
  * added an option for --quiet startup of sinfod
  * displaying IP number of a host in the case that there is no name
  * some adjustments for gcc 3.2
  * added a -B --bindaddress option to the sinfod to send UDP packets
    with a fixed IP address. (useful on systems with many network
    interfaces)
  * added a small (fork, watchpid) watchdog that restarts the sinfod if
    something goes wrong.
    This can be activated at compile time with --enable-WATCHDOG
    I've added this because some months ago there was a problem with the
    LDAP library that made some programs (sinfod) to crash in the case
    of LDAP-server failures.
  * added --accessaddress, --accessnetmask and --accesslocalhost to
    restrict the access to the sinfod
  * fixed process percentage calculation on solaris
  * changed memory variables from long to unsigned long so that a
    maximum of 4GB can be represented (only tested on linux)

sinfo (0.0.8) unstable; urgency=low

  * add a timeout within select() to reduce the system load of 
    "konsole" when displaying sinfo's ncurses output.
  * do not install the sample cgi-script  
    but keep it in ./cgi
  * increased value:  drop hosts from being displayed if they were
    not heard for 25 seconds (was: 10 seconds)  
  * fixed some possible security holes using found by 
    the code inspection tool "flawfinder" 
    http://www.dwheeler.com/flawfinder/
  * added broadcasting of the name of the network interface
    => broadcasted struct changed
      => you have to restart all demons if you update
  * fixed query of two separate networks with one "sinfo"
  * security fix for the cgi-script:
    "it was possible to start programs as cgi-user nobody"!
    ... see the cgi-script for details

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Fri, 28 Dec 2001 23:33:11 +0200

sinfo (0.0.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * minor bugs fix:
    sinfo segfaults if there isn't an "export HOSTNAME"
  * added HTML-output and a sample perl-cgi-script to read
    sinfo's informations over the web.

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Mon, 17 Dec 2001 23:33:11 +0200

sinfo (0.0.6) unstable; urgency=low

  * added a parameter to set the nice value of the demon.
  * added a simple cache for lookups of the names belonging to the
    UIDs in lib/procinfo.cc
    ... activate with:  ./configure --enable-SIMPLE_USER_CACHE

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Nov, 12 Mon 2001 23:33:11 +0200

sinfo (0.0.5) unstable; urgency=low

  * minor bugs fixed that prevented static linkage of sinfo...
    (you can produce a static version of sinfo if
     you "export CXXFLAGS=-static" before ./configure )
  * minor bug fix for RedHat 7.1 (and other systems?)    
      added #include <string.h> in cpuinfo.cc
      tnx "Eric Gravelle" <egravelle@epalscorp.com>,
          "Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva" <alan@biof.ufrj.br>
  * done a port to FreeBSD ( we got a new server at work :-) )
  * changed format of the broadcast scheme... now: less overhead
    (incompatible with older versions of sinfo!)
  * broadcasting is done in a smarter way:
    * If the CPU-Usage doesn't change (variation less 3%).... 
      the broadcasting frequency will be decreased 
      down to 6 Bcast per minute.  
    * If the CPU-Usage changes dramatically 
      (variation greater than 30%)  
      the TOP5 process list will be broadcasted right away.

sinfo (0.0.4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Upper status line excluded from scrolling.
  * Connection scheme from sinfo to sinfod changed.
    A TCP connection will be kept for all transmissions.
  * Sinfo can use connections to multiple sinfods and join the
    data.
    This may be useful if you want to monitor two different 
    networks with only one sinfo.
    i.e.: sinfo -h host_on.first.computer.net -h host_on.second.computer.net

sinfo (0.0.3) unstable; urgency=low

  * all internal errors of the information gathering functions
    getCpuinfo, getNetload, ...
    result in a "false" return value... 
    no more exit(1)s there! 
  * SIGPIPE ignored to make the demon more robust!
  * System info: RAM and Swap - Space added

 -- Juergen Rinas <jrinas@gmx.de>  Sat, 18 Aug 2001 23:33:11 +0200

sinfo (0.0.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * broadcast format changed.... 
    => update on all workstations necessary
  * solaris port:
      broadcast cpu-usage
  * sinfo: highlight local workstation
  * sinfo: all hostnames sorted alphabetically
  * direct setting of the -h IP-address added
  * broadcast CPU-Information
  * scale bargraphs according to cpu-power
  * first installation on our research cluster for
    all users under /usr/local!
