This is another bug. Not being able to compile a package at all *is* a
release-critical problem and violates the GPL.

rrlogind and rrdhcpd are part (well all) of the RoadRunner
tools for Linux. This allows a user of Time Warner's cable
modem service to use Linux to connect. The rrlogind handles
the authentication and the rrdhcpd handles the obtaining

That might be a bit strong - I haven't really looked into the
differences in depth. They are being maintained separately, and they
are tracking Norm Walsh's stuff.
