remctl 3.6 released

[Russ Allbery]

I'm pleased to announce release 3.6 of remctl.

remctl is a client/server application that supports remote execution of
specific commands, using Kerberos GSS-API for authentication.
Authorization is controlled by a configuration file and ACL files and can
be set separately for each command, unlike with rsh.  remctl is like a
Kerberos-authenticated simple CGI server, or a combination of Kerberos rsh
and sudo without most of the features and complexity of either.

Changes from previous release:

    If the client specifies a timeout, restart the wait for a nonblocking
    connect when interrupted by a signal.  This can mean that a connect
    can take longer than the timeout if interrupted; hopefully both
    timeouts and catching signals are rare enough that this won't pose a
    serious issue.

    The help output from Net::Remctl::Backend now checks for commands
    whose syntax is excessively long and does not let them influence the
    formatting of the summary.  This keeps commands with a long syntax
    from forcing all the summary output into a skinny column against the
    right margin and allows proper help output for commands with a syntax
    longer than 80 columns.

    Fix compilation problems with Kerberos libraries that don't have
    gss_krb5_import_cred, including Mac OS X and older Red Hat.  Patch
    from Ken Dreyer.

    Fix problems with PCRE detection on platforms that have the library
    but not pcre-config or the pcre.h header file, such as Mac OS X.

    Update to rra-c-util 4.9:

    * Fix GCC warnings of casts that could increase alignment.
    * Add a portable replacement for a missing strndup.

    Update to C TAP Harness 2.2:

    * bail and sysbail now exit with status 255 to match Test::More.
