Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype' + feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti + for reporting the bug and to + Theodore Y. Ts'o for providing the patch. + +3. Made the nodump flag work on directories. A directory which + has the nodump flag gets never dumped, regardless of its + contents. + +4. Integrate a patch from Jeremy Fitzhardinge + which allows dump on an active ext3 filesystem. However, this + is a "quick and dirty" patch which enables backup of an ext3 + filesystem through the ext2 compatibility (by ignoring the + NEEDS_RECOVERY bit). The journal file is not recognized and + it is dumped (it should not). + +5.

Added the RSH environment variable in order to be able to use a rsh replacement like ssh when doing remote backups (and bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote backups without being root (or making dump setuid root). +7. Modified again the way dumpdates works.
