Happy new Update!!

Nice work on the update batsman(Mauricio). I tried it out on one of my 
many BSD machines and a SuSE machine. Works great, install went 
smoothly, and good luck on future development.

Now if you can add in the rest of the features talked on the website and 
on irc. (which the rpa-base channel can be found on

(#rpa@irc.Freenode.net)

Joy to the software world!

It worked fine on the NetBSD, FreeBSD(4.x and 5.x), OpenBSD, 
DragonFlyBSD, and Linux servers. Thanks.
