* plugbasedclient.c (main): Check if plugin dir could be opened.  Set
                            FD_CLOEXEC on the directory, if possible,
                            and also on both ends of the pipe.  Do not
                            allocate buffer for process in advance.
                            Free the plugin list.  Bug fix: exit if no
                            plugins found, not if any found.  Set
                            "exitstatus" in many places.  Simplify and
                            un-indent the loop reading process pipes.
                            Renamed process list iterator to "proc".
                            Bug fix:  retry password write on EINTR.
                            Free the process list properly, including
                            the process structs themselves.

  This is part of the Mandos system for allowing computers to have
6
 
  encrypted root file systems and at the same time be capable of
7
 
  remote and/or unattended reboots.  The computers run a small client
8
 
  program in the initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment which
9
 
  will communicate with a server over a network.  The clients are
10
 
  identified by the server using a OpenPGP key; each client has one
11
 
  unique to it.  The server sends the clients an encrypted password.
12
 
  The encrypted password is decrypted by the clients using the same
13
 
  OpenPGP key, and the password is then used to unlock the root file
14
 
  system, whereupon the computers can continue booting normally.
