here's the diffs for my process.c from the bsd source.. for your own site
you might want to add in the 'to' field so it tells who the flash was
directed at, and also you might want to add in the host it came from (i
run a tcp wrapper, so it will say right before this line). another thing
you might want to do is exit rather than return a fail, because the
remote port doesn't wait for a reply when you flash, so you see some
wierd shit popping up in your syslogs... but anyway, this is what i run,
and it does the trick.
