+====================================================================
+
+1.	Make configure test if the system glob routines support 
+	extended syntax (ALTDIRFUNC). If not, use the internal glob
+	routines instead of system ones. Thanks to Bernhard Sadlowski 
+	<sadlowsk@Mathematik.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> for reporting the bug
+	and helping me resolve this and other minor libc5 compiling
+	glitches.
+
+2.	Fix a problem when dumping a ext2fs with the 'filetype'
+	feature enabled. Thanks to Patrick J. LoPresti 
+	<patl@cag.lcs.mit.edu> for reporting the bug and to
+	Theodore Y. Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> 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.

+Changes between versions 0.4b8 and 0.4b9 (released November 5, 1999)
+====================================================================
+
+1.	Use lchown instead of chown, fixing a possible security problem 
+	when restoring symlinks (a malicious user could use this
+	to deliberately corrupt the ownership of important system files).
+	Thanks to Chris Siebenmann <cks@utcc.utoronto.ca> for detecting
+	this and providing the patch.

 	bypass the security limitations of rcmd). Now you can do remote
