BUG FIXES:
- An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
- sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that the symlinks
- values will now be accepted (and returned) with all their symlink info
+ sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that each symlink's
+ value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info
intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, any option that tells a
non-chroot daemon to treat some symlinks as their referent (such as
--copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) now manually checks the symlink chain
to ensure that the symlinks do not try to escape past the top of the
- module's path. This makes a non-chroot daemon behave the same as a
- chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a potential
- problem where pre-existing symlinks could have escaped the module's

options (--link-dest, --copy-dest, and --compare-dest): if the copy's
