Security updates

 o  Fix security leaks that could result in a root shell compromise.

 o  Fix memory leaks in internal ls (this feature still needs more
testing;
    you should probably not use it on high-traffic production servers
yet.)

 o  SITE MINFO was missed in 2.6.0 when disabling SITE NEWER.



Additions

 o  Merge in the virtual passwd/virtual shadow features of BeroFTPD.



Corrections

 o  Fix up the port-allow command in ftpaccess.

 o  Some fixes to the configure script.

 o  Fix documentation of data-limit.


Errata

 o  On Tru64 systems with C2 security enabled, real users cannot login.
    This problem is being worked on.
