   - First step to use plain text password instead of hashed password.
   - Move repository into the SUSE github organization
   - in RPC server, if client comes from localhost, remember its ipv4
     localhost address instead of ipv6 address
   - tell a record to clear expired pending commands upon saving a command
     result; introduce pending commands RPC test case
