alias commands simply won't work. Only root may specify the
location of the alias lib (otherwise, it's hard-coded).

Document this behaviour. Document that the number of dial attempts
applies to the number of phone calls rather than the number of times
each number is dialed. Add a missing .El. Give a decent description
of how to connect to an ISP.
and quitting telnet immediately (while phone number dialed)
Log client connection/disconnection with PHASE_BIT now.
Add more error recovery on client disconnection
in uu_lock(). Add uu_lockerr() for turning the results of
uu_lock into something printable. Remove bogus section in man page
about race conditions allowing both processes to get the lock.
Include libutil.h and use uu_lock() correctly where it should.

Accept SIGHUP as a "re-open logfile" signal. As ppp
doesn't set it's serial line to it's controlling terminal,
we can use HUP :)
This is a candidate for 2.2. The log.[ch] changes won't
conflict, but the main.c changes will. We just want to change the
kill(...,SIGHUP) to a SIGTERM and change the signal(SIGHUP,Hangup)
to a pending_signal(SIGHUP,LogReOpen).
These changes should fix the signal "problems" in ppp.
The signal changes should really be put into 2.2 too !
The following patches should do it. There were some other
changes made by Andrey recently that havn't been brought
into 2.2, it may be worth doing them now.
