    src/sbbs3/userdat.c
    Log Message:
    The "user" directory is special: you don't need "access" to download from it.

    When sending a user-to-user file transfer, SBBS (since v3.19) will check that the file recipient will be able to download it (e.g. doesn't have restrictions preventing it) and this was failing for most (non-sysop) recipient users since they wouldn't normally meet the "access restrictions" of the user directory
    (by design).

    Truncate attempted user-name at '@' before comparing against name.can file

    '@' is in the name.can by default and the mail server recognizes user@addr formatted logins/attempts, so truncate at the '@' before comparing against
    the name.can file to prevent false !TEMPORARY BAN (1 login attempts, ... occurences.

    Fix bug with parse_birthdate() in year-first format

    The year is 4 digits, so the offsets aren't the same as the other 2 supported formats. Doh!

    Thanks Max for testing!

    Fix logic to add the "partially" prefix to download notification messages

    The file_t struct may not have the size of the file pre-poulated, so we needed to call getfilesize() here.

    Extend (and back-off) the user.tab record lock attempts

    I'v been getting errors locking user.tab (for read) for a while (over samba), so hopefully this helps. The lockuserdat() total timeout duration extends from about 5 seconds to about 45 seconds (with an incremental back-off).

    Implement the same lock-retry logic/limit in putuserdat().

    the (slightly more ambiguous) node.aux field for external program being executed by Guest users or upon any failure to read the user record.
