This fix improves the handling of the BITEARN NODES file when it is
accessed from a R/O minidisk, and corrects a minor problem in the network
tables generation process:
- Changes in the version of BITEARN NODES are now detected even when the
time stamp of the network tables is more recent than that of BITEARN
NODES.
- These changes are detected and addressed in a more timely fashion.
While this change ensures command response integrity, it can cause
unexpectedly long response time for "trivial" commands if a mismatch is
detected and the network tables have to be rebuilt.
- Entries without a ':site.' tag (old format) or with ':machine.DEC' are
now processed properly; previously, the ':internet.' tag would be
ignored. There are only 2 nodes affected as of VERS9107, and they have
no ':internet.' tag anyway.
This fix is highly recommended if you have a service machine (such as
NETSERV) that updates BITEARN NODES automatically (ie when you are
possibly away). If your server has its own R/W copy of BITEARN NODES, you
are not affected by the first 2 items.
