System Tools Backends Version 2.4.2, 2008-01-14
-----------------------------------------------

The System Tools Backends version 2.4.2 "Waiting room" have been released.

The System Tools Backends are a set of cross-platform modules for Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and other Unix systems. The backends provide an common DBus interface to all distros for modifying or reading the system configuration.

Right now the System Tools Backends fully support various distros/OS such as: Redhat, Mandrake, SuSE, Fedora, Debian (and derivations like Ubuntu, Linex, Guadalinex...), FreeBSD, Solaris, Gentoo, Slackware, OpenNA, PLD, Vine and Specifix.

Changes since last release
==========================

- Make Redhat derived distros use useradd (garnacho)
- Make --verbose work again (garnacho)
- Do not try to set auto on slackware, it's not really supported (garnacho)
- Set gateway address for slackware (garnacho)
- Fix services saving in Archlinux (Hugo Doria)
- Use /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to start/stop interfaces in slackware (garnacho)
