- (see auth.c rev 1.13) allow the pap/chap secrets file to specify an
override for the otherwise hard coded IP addresses. This allows specific
users to dial in on a rotary which would otherwise get a dynamic address
forced to authenticate and get their own fixed addresses.
- (see options.c rev 1.9) recognize the old dns1 and dns2 options. This
is a hack (TM). :-)
dial-on-demand, packet filtering, idle timeouts, etc). The IPX support
is pretty much there but more work needs to be done in sys-bsd.c for
the interface ioctls (Linux has a very different way of configuring IPX
interfaces).
Along the way some things have temporarily been lost due to very messy
conflicts. I will recover them shortly when I can think clearer.
The main one is the local:remote address override in pap-secrets and
chap-secrets. Some other home-grown features (dns1,dns2) have been
implemented differently. Microsoft's chap client auth hacks have been
implemented. There are bound to be more rough edges... The changes for
connect-max-retries doesn't fit well with the dial-on-demand code.
pppd now creates /var/run/ttyXn.if file containing the interface name;
check that a 'login' user is not listed in /etc/ppp/ppp.disabled;
check that a 'login' user's shell is listed in /etc/ppp/ppp.shells;
make sure that passwordless 'login' logins are recorded in wtmp and
utmp.
and chap-secrets files. This allows specific users
to have pre-allocated IP numbers while others get
assigned dynamically.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
