strobe is a network/security tool that locates and
describes all listening tcp ports on a (remote) host or on
many hosts in a bandwidth utilisation maximising, and pro-
cess resource minimizing manner.
strobe approximates a parallel finite state machine inter-
nally. In non-linear multi-host mode it attempts to appor-
tion bandwidth and sockets amoung the hosts very effi-
ciently. This can reap appreciable gains in speed for
multiple distinct hosts/routes.

The remote site will have to send it to you to decode it. When you are
given one of these cookies, you can know for sure it is not faked, and you
don't have to trust the word of the remote sysadmin when arranging your
local lame hacker-type user to meet with an unfortunate incident :-).
This feature is documented in the man pages.
Also, fix an apparent bug in the code that deals with this, but it might
be a feature of the version of libdes we have on FreeBSD.

reporting bug which happens if the remote end uses tcp_wrappers to control
sshd access (it says something like "read: no such file or directory" or
"read: permission denied" instead of "connection closed"). I already sent it
in to the ssh mailing list.

all the COMMENTs! No package names, no version numbers, no "this is
absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.
Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)
Phew! 238 ports modified!
