   3 Need to verify:
   4 ---------------
   5
   6 1.      Verify that dump works with kerberos authentification (this
   7         was ported from *BSD and was not tested - in fact, this
   8         wasn't even compiled in!). Need success reports for this.
   9
  10 Urgent items (for the next stable version):
  11 -------------------------------------------
  12
  13 All others:
  14 -----------
  15
  16 1.      More documentation? Examples, crontab?
  17
  18 2.      Explore and correct dump problems on active filesystems
  19         (lseek/read negative count) (This should be OK as of 0.4b14.
  20         Unfortunately, this seems to continue for a very few users).
  21
  22 3.      Reimplement the ext2 specific code in a "backend" and
  23         make the dump code more generic. This would allow creation
  24         of other backends for other filesystems. Implementing a
  25         (v)fat backend should be quite easy, as for BSD ffs (we
  26         already have the code for this). The BSD code in traverse.c
  27         (all those #ifdef _BSD) should go into the ffs backend.
  28
  29 4.      Implement a DEBUG option which doesn't fork on each tape, making
  30         it able to debug dump with gdb.
  31
  32 5.      Make a bootable dump tape? I don't know if it is possible...
  33
  34 6.      EA/ACL support in dump (requested by Michael Ju. Tokarev
  35         <mjt@tls.msk.ru>.
  36
  37 7.      Better readline completition in restore (escape spaces etc).
