command:
AUTHNAME: The local authname
ENDDISC: The local endpoint discriminator
LABEL: The configuration label in use
PEER_ENDDISC: The peers endpoint discriminator
USER: The peers authname
anything for two mintues (see ``set choked'' and ``show
bundle''), nuke the ip, mp and link level buffer queues.
This should fix problems where ``ppp -auto'' seems to stop
responding after failing to connect to the peer a few times.
the `-literal' after the closing .Ed.
Where this happens, use ``.Bd -unfilled'' with ``.It Li'' to dodge
the problem - it looks better too.
Problem reported by: Dom Mitchell <dom@phmit.demon.co.uk>
(see the new ``set callback'' and ``set cbcp'' commands)
o Add a ``cbcp'' log level and mbuf type.
o Don't dump core when \T is given in ``set login'' or
``set hangup''.
o Allow ``*'' and blanks as placeholders in ppp.secret and
allow a fifth field for specifying auth/cbcp dialback
parameters.
o Remove a few extraneous #includes
o Define the default number of REQs (restart counter) in defs.h
rather than hardcoding ``5'' all over the place.
o Fix a few man page inconsistencies.
o Allow ``set ....'' when we have multiple links but aren't in
multilink mode.
o Do a TLS when we receive a ``Open'' event in ``Closed'' state,
despite the rfc state transition table. This is clearly an
error in the RFC as TLS cannot have yet been called (without
TLF) in the ``Closed'' state.
I've posted a message to comp.protocols.ppp for confirmation.
open capable of re-negotiatiating the various layers.
It is now possible to change various link options and then
re-open the relevant layer, making the changes effective -
for example, switching off VJ compression or starting ECHO
LQRs on-the-fly.
o Fix ``set timeout'' usage message and documentation.
o Change ifOutPackets, ifOutOctets and ifOutLQRs to `u_int32_t's
so that they wrap correctly.
o Put the LQR in network byte order using the correct struct size
(sizeof u_int32_t, not sizeof u_long).
o Wrap LQR ECHO counters correctly.
o Don't increment OutLQR count if the last LQR hasn't been replied
to.
o Initialise HisLqrData (last received LQR) in StartLqm.
o Don't start the LQR timer if we're `disabled' and `accepted'.
o Generate LQR responses when both sides are using a timer and
we're not going to send our next LQR before the peers max timeout.
LQR should now be fully functional.
Don't mention the authors name at startup. He's already credited
in the man page. Instead, make the message consistent with the
one given to the diagnostic port (and fix the grammar when entering
`term' mode).
Don't credit the zlib author in the man page as ppp isn't linked
directly with zlib (it's shared).
Mention when the OpenBSD port was first made available.
The delay defaults to 1 sec (as it always has) unless we've done
a ~p in interactive mode or we've actually detected a HDLC frame.
This is now cleanly implemented (via async timers) so that it is
possible for LCP to come up despite the delay if an LCP REQ is
received.
This will hopefully solve situations with slow servers or slirp
scenarios (where ECHO is left on the port for a second or so before
the peer enters packet mode).
Also, ~p in interactive mode no longer changes the value of the default
openmode delay and -dedicated mode enters packet mode in the right state
according to the value of openmode.
o Allow a forth argument in ppp.secret, specifying a new
label. This gives control over which section of
ppp.link{up,down} is used based on the authenticated user.
o Support random address ranges in ppp.secret (not just in ppp.conf).
o Add a AUTHENTICATING INCOMING CONNECTIONS section to the man page.
o Add a bit more about DEFLATE in the man page.
o Fix the incorrect "you must specify a password in interactive
mode" bit of the manual.
o Space things in the man page consistently.
o Be more precice about where you can use MYADDR, HISADDR and INTERFACE
in the "add" command documentation.
not in -auto mode isn't a good idea, and that the
add should be done in ppp.linkup instead.
Change "add 0 0 HISADDR" to "add default HISADDR". It's
more intuitive.
RTM_CHANGE if the RTM_ADD fails with an EEXIST.
Allow "delete! dst" (note the ``!'') to silently
fail if the RTM_DELETE fails with an ESRCH.
Also, make the ESRCH and EEXIST error conditions
more understandable to the casual observer.
when command logging is switched on.
o Display ******** for the authkey for "show auth"
o Document how \P should be used, and document the other chat escapes
while I'm there.
o Make sure the full command is displayed when a compound command
fails - ie, "set novar rubbish" should say "set novar: Invalid command"
rather than "novar: Invalid command"
Problem pointed out by: Theo de Raadt <deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org> (among others)
Validate the peers suggested IP by attempting to make a routing table
entry.
Give up IPCP negotiation if the peer NAKs us with an unusable IP.
Always SIOCDIFADDR then SIOCAIFADDR when configuring the tun device.
Using SIOCSIFDSTADDR allows duplicate dst addresses (which we don't
want)!!!
Allow up to 200 interface names (was 50) (now that ppp can play server
properly).
Up the version number (1.5 -> 1.6).
Cosmetic:
Log unexpected CCP packets in the CCP log rather than the ERROR log.
Log unexpected Config Reqs in the appropriate LCP/IPCP/CCP log rather
than the ERROR log.
Log failed route additions and deletions with WARN, not TCPIP.
Log the option id and length for unrecognised IPCP options.
Change some .Sq to .Ar in the man page.
Delete AF_LINK routes as well as AF_INET.
Allow the word `default' as the arg to `delete' or in place of the
first two args (dest & netmask) to `add'.
Accept INTERFACE as the third arg to `add'.
You can now say `add default interface' to create a default route
through the tun interface. It's reported that subsequent bind()s
will bind to a broadcast address and not to the address currently
assigned to the tun device - this is the first step towards
supporting that first connection that was around from before the
dynamic IP negotiation....
(I *really* meant to do this *before* committing the
deflate changes in the first place - oops).
Pppd is horribly broken in this respect - refer to the
ppp man page for details. Ppp *WON'T* negotiate deflate
with pppd by default - you must ``enable'' and ``accept''
``pppd-deflate'' in your config.
While I'm in there, update the cftypes in ccp.c so that
we recognise some more protocols (we don't actually do
anything with them - just send a REJ).
o Add "allow" command:
"allow users a b c" gives access to users a, b and c.
"allow modes auto" gives those users access to auto mode only.
"allow users *" and "allow modes *" are accepted.
No users and all modes are allowed by default.
UID 0 can do anything.
o Set the current label with the "load" and "dial" commands
so that the call to ppp.linkdown makes sense.
o Up the verison number.
o Don't OR MODE_AUTO for -background and -ddial.
o Don't OR MODE_INTER when we get a diagnostic connection.
o Allow up to 40 args per line (was 20).
o "set ifaddr" only changes the interface in AUTO mode (with other
modes, it happens after IPCP negotiation).
o Sort command descriptions in the man page.
o Support -dedicated mode where we just talk ppp forever (no login etc).
