* 1.9.27, 2002-09-24

### BUGFIXES

o Leafnode no longer goes into an infinite loop if your interface list
  as returned by ioctl(...SIOCGIFCONF...) is longer than 2047 bytes.
  This was a show-stopper bug without workaround (except unconfiguring
  interfaces or disabling IPv6, which is usually not an option).

  The bug was less likely to strike home on computers (except routers),
  as these tend to have less interfaces. More likely to strike bigger
  IPv6-enabled BSD servers.

o Type issues on 64-bit machines (time_t is int) have been fixed.

o RPM build: the spec file has been revamped, the documentation
  directory now has proper permissions again.

o Leafnode builds again on non-IPv6 machines such as Solaris 2.6.

### CHANGES

o Robustness: The allowstrangers option is now "stronger", enabling it
  defeats the "is the client on a local IP" check altogether -- to allow
  for workarounds should further bugs in this check strike us.

o Documentation: The FAQ has been converted to DocBook XML and updated,
  and the TROUBLESHOOTING document that carried only two items has been
  merged into the FAQ. It comes now as plain text, HTML and PDF. The
  CREDITS file has been updated.
