fixed Debian bug 536060 (log files are closed after SIGHUP receival) Explanation: When run in daemon mode, first the log files are opened. They get assigned to the file descriptors 3 and 4 usually. Then std{in,out,err} are closed. When SIGHUP comes in, all open files are closes and masqmail reexecutes itself. The new masqmail instance opens the log files at fd 0 and 1 now, but std{in,out,err} are closed afterwards, thus the log files are closed. The fix is to close the log files before std{in,out,err} are closed, in case the log files have higher fds. After std{in,out,err} were closed, the log files get opened again, now.

meillo@0 21 This is the second stab at a small library to interface to the Ident
meillo@0 22 protocol server. Maybe this will work correctly on some machines.. :-)
meillo@0 23
meillo@0 24 The ident-tester.c file is a small daemon (to be started from Inetd)
meillo@0 25 that does an ident lookup on you if you telnet into it. Can be used
meillo@0 26 to verify that your Ident server is working correctly.
meillo@0 27
meillo@0 28 I'm currently running this "ident-tester" on port 114 at lysator.liu.se
meillo@0 29 (130.236.254.1) if you wish to test your server.

meillo@0 34 This library now contains some higher-level routines, as well as a
meillo@0 35 similar test program to test these (lookup-tester).
