* mandos: Also import "with_statement" and "absolute_import" from
          "__future__.  Import "closing" from "contextlib".
  (Client.__init__): Use "with closing" on "secfile".
  (Client.checker_callback): Call "self.bump_timeout()" instead of
                             doing it directly.
  (Client.bump_timeout): New method to bump up the timeout.
  (TCP_handler.handle): Simplify code to provide fallback default for
                        GnuTLS priority string.
  (IPv6_TCPServer): Do not inherit from
                    "SocketServer.ForkingTCPServer", since that is
                    undocumented - instead, follow the example code
                    from the documentation.
  (if_nametoindex): Use "with closing" on the socket.

      The only remaining weak point is that someone with physical
450
451
      access to the client hard drive might turn off the client
451
452
      computer, read the OpenPGP keys directly from the hard drive,
452
 
      and communicate with the server.  The defense against this is
453
 
      that the server is supposed to notice the client disappearing
454
 
      and will stop giving out the encrypted data.  Therefore, it is
455
 
      important to set the timeout and checker interval values tightly
456
 
      on the server.  See <citerefentry><refentrytitle
 
453
      and communicate with the server.  To safeguard against this, the
 
454
      server is supposed to notice the client disappearing and stop
 
455
      giving out the encrypted data.  Therefore, it is important to
 
456
      set the timeout and checker interval values tightly on the
 
457
      server.  See <citerefentry><refentrytitle
