demand-dial links with dynamic IP numbers where the program
that causes the dial bind()s to an interface address that is
subsequently changed after ppp negotiation.
The problem is defeated by adding negotiated addresses to the
tun interface as additional alias addresses and providing a set
of ``iface'' commands for managing the interface. Libalias is
also required (and what a name clash!) - it happily IP-aliases
the address so that the source is that of the primary (negotiated)
interface and un-IP-aliases it on the way back.
An ``enable iface-alias'' is done implicitly by the -alias command
line switch. If -alias isn't given, iface-aliasing is disabled by
default and can't be enabled 'till an ``alias enable yes'' is done.
``alias enable no'' silently disables iface-alias.
So, for dynamic-IP-type-connections, running ``ppp -alias -auto blah''
will work for the first connection, although existing bindings will
not survive a disconnect/connect as the TCP peer will be trying to
send to the old IP address - the packets won't route.
It's now a lot easier to add IPXCP to ppp with minor updates to
the new iface.[ch] (if anyone ever gets 'round to it).
It's also now possible to manually add interface aliases with
something like ``iface add 1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8''. This allows
multi-homed ppp links :-)
RealTek 8129/8139 chipset like I've been threatening. Update kernel
configs, userconfig.c, relnotes and sysinstall. No man page yet;
comming soon.
I consider this driver stable enough that I want to give it some
exposure in -current.
Didn't bump CONFIGVERS, since ioconf.h was already unused when
CONFIGVERS was last bumped (although essentially the same (CAM)
commit batch that bumped CONFIGVERS also added bogus includes of
ioconf.h).
execvp() in the child branch of a vfork(). Changed to use fork()
instead.
Some of these (mv, find, apply, xargs) might benefit greatly from
being rewritten to use vfork() properly.

- it has longer timeout as per the PnP COM Device Specificaiton 1.0,
- and it tries to obtain the PnP ID string by strictly following the
specification and if it fails, by deploying slightly simplified
steps. (moused has used the simplified method because early PnP mice
do not exactly follow the specification. But now, recent mice
do not supply the ID string unless the strict procedure is used...)
Jointly developed by luigi and yokota.
MD4Update(), but our version in libmd expects a byte count.
This code is not currently compiled or linked into pppd, so I'm
reasonably sure I didn't break anything. :-) I added the necessary
statements to the Makefile, but left them commented out because we
are in feature freeze. When the code is enabled, we must be careful
to build it only if the DES library is available.
Disable building tickadj(8) by removing util from SUBDIR in the xntpd
Makefile. Note that the sources are still there and tickadj can still
be built and installed by doing:
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/xntpd/util
# make all install
There are enough references to tickadj in e.g. the xntpd documentation
(not to mention the sysctl variables it uses etc.) that I don't feel
up to implementing the final solution right now.

route. If your nameserver config is wrong, this will otherwise hang for
the default resolver timeout (75 seconds), leading people to think that
the system has hung.
