[Sync Request] Sync remctl 2.7-2 from Debian unstable (main)

[Andrea Veri]

Binary package hint: remctl

Debdiff from the Debian version attached.

[Andrea Veri (av)]

reading the changelog entries between the last ubuntu version and the new merged version, seems that ubuntu changes can be dropped because the same thing has been changed in Ubuntu and Debian.

sync requested

remctl (2.7-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * remctl-server now depends on update-inetd directly and recommends
    openbsd-inetd | inet-superserver, since it will run without inetd but
    calls update-inetd in its postinst.
  * Remove the remctl transitional package now that etch is released.
  * Support reconfigure in the remctl-server postinst.
  * Don't fail on unknown arguments to maintainer scripts.
  * Add build-arch and build-indep targets, just in case.
  * Update debhelper compatibility level to V5.

Sync request ACKed.

     - Fix protocol errors with commands larger than the token size.
     - Fix memory and file descriptor leaks in remctld.

remctl (2.5-1) unstable; urgency=low

     - Clean up memory leaks and more strictly check command input.
     - Clean up handling of token size limits.
