Questions on fud and notifyd

[Etienne Goyer]

Problem solved ... stupid me, second argument should be user name, not
anonymous.

But I would still like to know what noifyd is about.  Also, if there is
a written description of the FUD protocol, I would be interest in
reading it.  I will write a Perl module to access it.

Thanks !
