I am not very happy in having Linux specific code committed in xget.
Isn't there any other way to prevent exporting /proc?
Thanks,

This patch adds to my last patch about checksum calculation changes. I
have added an explicit check in xget to see if the file(s) being
served
out belong to procfs. xget just skips over those files.
This patch uses the zlib adler32 function to calculate the checksum of
the files.
Instead of calculating the checksum during file setup stage, we use
the
rolling hash technique to compute the checksum
while the server serves the files to the clients. This reduces the
server setup time from almost zero to a few seconds.
The clients compute their checksum while downloading the file which
also
reduces the time in which the file is available
to the clients
