+kes Some time in March, a Feature Request with patch from Jorj Bauer
+ <jorj@seas.upenn.edu> was committed by Landon (with my approval).
+ It implements:
+ The ability for the director to validate a Client (FD) CN against
+ an arbitrary set of patterns rather than the hostname, with
+ A new 'TLS Allowed CN' set of directives which are implemented
+ in the Client resource. Then pattern matching is used in place
+ of hostname matching against the Certificate's CN. As an example, we
+ have certificates which (a) use a local CA, and (b) have a CN of the
+ form client_123.

ebl Check size and age of each file after its backup to see if
- it has changed during backup, if "checkfilechanges" is set.
+ it has changed during backup, if 'checkfilechanges' is set.
The FD will do an extra check (stat(2)) after
each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with
'before backup' information. If time or size mismatch, an
