I've just put version 0.06PLUS1 on my server...

	http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/bin/boxbackup-0.06PLUS1.tgz

Changes:
* Minor bug fixes in code and config utilities
* Improvements to build process, including better detection of 
environment on Linux
* Fix wrong sizes on store with non-RAID -- run fix on old stores!
* Fixed bug where bbackupquery wouldn't change directory to lost+found 
dirs
* Be more paranoid about crypto startup
* Extra checking for modifications


If you run on Linux boxes, please try and see if this configures and 
compiles. This version finds another batch of Linux differences and 
works with them. Linux is so much fun!


The other changes are mainly extra paranoia things, to make sure it 
absolutely will always work. A few very minor bugs are fixed as well.


I'd like to draw your attention to the bug with sizes on non-RAID 
partitions. This causes the server to think it's using 50% more disc 
space than it actually is, which could cause problems with account 
limits. (this doesn't affect RAID setups at all -- I do all my testing 
with the RAID stuff enabled. I did warn you about it having less 
testing on my web site!)

You will need to "fix" your accounts on the server to get the accounts 
having the correct usage figures, and use your disc space as you would 
expect. So, upgrade the server. Make sure the bbstored daemon is 
stopped, then for each account do

   /usr/local/bin/bbstoreaccounts check 12345 fix

where 12345 is the account number. Then, start the server again.

RAID disc sets don't need to do this, they're completely unaffected.


I would appreciate reports of success or otherwise with this new 
version. Thanks!
