A new authentication module, auth_nis.pl, was
added for NIS/YP system. Some speedup was achieved
by caching all config file in memory, with a
heavily rewritten readconf() routine, and by using
IGNORE instead of waiting for a CHLD signal. This
release also fixes the following problems: an
insecure dependency error on some platform with
new perl 5.8, a problem with DST time auto switch
one month late, and the bug in addressbook in
which the ampersand ("&") and comma (",")
characters were always stripped out.
