developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Major changes from previous version:
Master site has moved to sourceforge
Licence has changed to a GPL-like licence
Minor changes from previous version:
12-21-1999 - 1.1 Fixed typo in bare-bones TCP list where 524 was supposed to be for 1524.
03-31-2000 - 1.1 Updated .conf to add ipf blocking rule. Thanks Graham Dunn
<gdunn@inscriber.com>
06-08-2000 - 1.1 Fixed an error in the state engine portion that could cause an increment error
under certain conditions. Thanks Peter M. Allan <peter.m.allan@hsbcgroup.com> for finding this.
6-21-2000 - 1.1 New Features added
- Added in feature to disable DNS host resolution by checking RESOLVE_HOST in
conf file.
- Added in feature to have external command run before or after blocking has
occurred as defined in KILL_RUN_CMD_FIRST option in conf file.

7-5-2000 - 1.1
- Added iptables support (thanks Scott Catterton <scatterton@valinux.com>)
- Added Makefile support for Irix
- Put in ports for common DDOS ports
9-8-2000 - 1.1 - Added in netmask support
9-9-2000 - 1.1 - Finally moved resolver functions to own area.
- Made CleanAndResolve to ensure DNS records returned are sanitized
correctly before being passed back.
3-23-2001 - 1.1 - Fixed a bug that showed up under Linux 2.4 Kernel that would cause accept
to loop. There was an error with how I used a count variable after trying to bind to ports.
If the port didn't bind the count for the openSockfd would still increment and this caused
the error to show up.
6-26-2001 - 1.1 - Added Mac OS X build support (Same as FreeBSD). Fixed bug for Advanced mode
to properly monitor 1024 ports (it only did first 1023 before). Thanks Guido.
05-23-2003 - 1.2 - Removed references to old psionic e-mail and changed license to
Common Public License.
I've also added a fix for a multi-line string constant for gcc3.
