Hi,

its just shameful that no distros feel like updating their default version from 1.1.dinosaur to 2.0.recent
There's a way to fix that: issue 1.1.8 with a few patches, and a large WARNING in the README's, configuration files, man pages, etc. saying "NO LONGER SUPPORTED: UPGRADE!"
After the 1000's email from their annoyed customer asking why they're distributing an old version, they'll upgrade.
that'd only work if the distros actually took the latest 1.1.x's and didnt touch the distributed configs either... eg tonight I cam face to face with a defalt 1.1.6 - :-( alan
