Update.
	* iconv/iconv_prog.c (main): Handle input file name "-" correctly.
	Recognize option -s, -c, and -l.

2000-04-20  Thorsten Kukuk  <kukuk@suse.de>

	* nscd/nscd.c: Start new session for nscd, drop privilegs
	to configured user if requested and no -S parameter are used.
	* nscd/nscd.conf: Add new option "server-user".
	* nscd/nscd_conf.c: Add support for new "server-user" option.
	* nscd/nscd.h: Add declaration for server_user variable.
	Based on patch by Chris Wing <wingc@engin.umich.edu>

2000-04-29  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sigaction.c: Add comment explaining
	that changing the __restore and __restore_rt signal return code
	will break GDB.

2000-04-29  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/sys/ucontext.h: Do not include
	<sys/user.h>.

2000-04-29  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>

	* conform/data/ucontext.h-data: Allow ss_* instead of SS_*.
