2001-07-04 Silvan Minghetti
* The custom servername (--server-name) is now allways
prefixed by "HLMaster 0.9.2 - ".

instead of requireing a PFileDescriptor object. The
PFileDescriptor class might be a subject to drop completly.

to the challenge request wont be listed by list requests.
They are not deleted, because they're still heartbeating.
2001-06-23 Silvan Minghetti
* Tabs in the --server-list are now accepted.

instead of waiting for them to send a heartbeat.

go into private mode. This adds ban filter for all
hosts, so only the ones in your host-list are accepted.
* The access-log now does not use the log-level value
specified with --log-level. It's allways on level "Info".
* Invalid queries are logged only with log-level "Debug".
