a running timer. This fixes a problem where a dial is manually
aborted, the hangup script kicks in and the chat timer ends up
on the timer queue twice (tick tick tick tick *boom*)
expect-send-expect sequence, finish gracefully, don't core dump.
This bug has been there for over a year - I could never reproduce it !

the layering.
We now ``stack'' layers as soon as we open the device (when we figure
out what we're dealing with). A static set of `dispatch' routines are
also declared for dealing with incoming packets after they've been
`pulled' up through the stacked layers.
Physical devices are now assigned handlers based on the device type
when they're opened. For the moment there are three device types;
ttys, execs and tcps.
o Increment version number to 2.2
o Make an entry in [uw]tmp for non-tty -direct invocations (after
pap/chap authentication).
o Make throughput counters quad_t's
o Account for the absolute number of mbuf malloc()s and free()s in
``show mem''.
o ``show modem'' becomes ``show physical''.
details. Compiling with -DNORADIUS (the default for `release')
removes support.
TODO: The functionality in libradius::rad_send_request() needs
to be supplied as a set of routines so that ppp doesn't
have to wait indefinitely for the radius server(s). Instead,
we need to get a descriptor back, select() on the descriptor,
and ask libradius to service it when necessary.
For now, ppp blocks SIGALRM while in rad_send_request(), so
it misses PAP/CHAP retries & timeouts if they occur.
Only PAP is functional. When CHAP is attempted, libradius
complains that no User-Password has been specified... rfc2138
says that it *mustn't* be used for CHAP :-(

match - otherwise, with a delayed (\\d) ``send'', the
timeout may happen during the send and cause a failure.
Problem reported by: David L. Vondrasek <dallas.tx@airmail.net>
(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.
end up writing zero bytes, sleep for 1/10 of a second so that
we don't end up using up too much cpu.
This should only ever happen on systems that wrongly report a
descriptor as writable despite the tty buffer being full.
Discussed with: Jeff Evarts
o Do an initial run-time check to see if select() alters the passed
timeval. This knowledge isn't yet used, but will be soon.
o Bring the static ``ttystate'' into struct prompt so that
the tilde context is per prompt and not global.
o Comment the remaining static variables so that it's
clear why they're static.
o Add some XXX comments suggesting that our interface list
and our hostname should be re-generated after a signal
(say SIGUSR1) so that a machine with PCCARDs has a chance.
of supporting architectures with different device names.
o Close /dev/tunX when destroying the bundle.
o Don't forget to close the parent end of the pipe in the child
process when exec'ing a program from a chat script.
o If we close our controlling terminal, ditch the current session
with it, allowing getty(8) (or whatever) to regain control.
o After transferring our controlling terminal descriptor to another
ppp instance, we now fork a new ppp to continue where we left off,
transferring ownership of all uucp locks and the /var/run/tunX.pid
file. Meanwhile the parent closes all file descriptors, defaults
all signals and does a pause() to wait for a HUP after the
transferred descriptor is finally closed.
We don't run /bin/cat any more (again!).
Suggested by: bde
TODO: It seems clocal devices need their pause()d session leader
to be given a manual HUP, as closing the last open descriptor
doesn't do the job.
It's now dealt with by the `server' object. This simplifies
things as we only have one list of prompt descriptors and
the log_ routines check prompt::logactive to determine
whether it should be used for output.
o Include the MP socket UpdateSet() result in bundle::UpdateSet().
o Don't select on the tun device unless we're in NETWORK
phase or AUTO mode.
o Stop the idle timer when we go to DEAD phase. We may
have transferred a link and not had a chance to kill
it.
o Don't fail when trying to unlink our transferred datalink
from our descriptor lists just before the transfer.
o Add our link descriptor to the write set if we got a short
write the last time (physical::out is set).
o Log the connection source address when a connection is closed.
o Remove descriptor::next field. Descriptor lists are not required
any more.
exec()ing. Tidy up file dups in general prior to exec().
This prevents our tun device (fd 3) from staying open (and
configured) despite handing off all it's links and exiting
(because ``cat'' holds it open).
o Don't bother SIG_DFL'ing signals before exec() as they're
already trapped with specific handlers and will be handled
correctly by the exec.
o Use values from paths.h for "/dev/" and "/dev/tty".
o Don't assert() in physical.c.
log debug'' without filling our filesystem/screen with
junk that we don't really want to see.
o change PHYS_STDIN to PHYS_DIRECT - we can handle incoming
connections that aren't on STDIN_FILENO now.
o Allow return values from our FSM LayerUp functions. If
LayerUp() fails, the FSM does an immediate FsmDown() without
calling the fsm_parent's Layer{Up,Down} functions.
o Clear the close-on-exec flag of file descriptor 3 when executing
chat programs so that our documented ability to communicate with
/dev/tty via that descriptor works. Also document it as
descriptor 3, not 4 :-O
o Allow a ``rm'' command as an alias for ``remove''.
o Fix the bind()/connect()/accept() calls made by the MP server.
o Create bundle_SendDatalink() and bundle_ReceiveDatalink().
This allows `struct datalink's to flatten themselves, pass
through a pipe (read: the eye of a needle !) and come alive
at the other end. The donator then fork()s & exec()s pppmpipe,
``passing'' the connection to another ppp instance.
*** PPP NOW TALKS MULTILINK :-))) ***
Our link utilization is hideous, and lots of code needs
tidying still. It's also probably riddled with bugs !
It's been tested against itself only, and has hung once,
so confidence isn't high....
o Create struct mpserver as part of struct mp.
mpserver creates a unix-domain socket based on the
peers auth name and endpoint discriminator. If it
already exists, ppp will ``pass the link'' over to
the owner of the socket, joining it into the bundle
of another ppp invocation, otherwise ppp waits for
other invocations to pass it links through this
socket.
The final piece of code will be the code that flattens
our datalink info and passes it down this channel
(not yet implemented).
expect-send-send !
o Say `disabled' rather than 0s in `show timeout'.
o Set all arguments in ``set device'' rather than just
the first (read: quotes aren't necessary).
o Set the device speed correctly (broken in last commit).
o Move Var*Version into command.c
o Remove struct pppVars (and there was much rejoicing) !
o Forward-decl some structs in .h files to avoid include
ordering requirements and remove a few more redundant
#includes.
o Remove bundle2lcp(), bundle2ccp() and bundle2link().
They're too resource-hungry and we have `owner pointers'
to do their job.
o Make our FSM understand LCPs that are always ST_OPENED
(with a minimum code that != 1).
o Send FSM code rejects for invalid codes.
o Make our bundle fsm_parent deal with multiple links.
o Make timer diagnostics pretty and allow access via ~t
in `term' mode (not just when logging debug) and
`show timers'. Only show timers every second in debug
mode, otherwise we get too many diagnostics to be useful
(we probably still do). Also, don't restrict ~m in term
mode to depend on debug logging.
o Rationalise our bundles' phases.
o Create struct mp (multilink protocol). This is both an
NCP and a type of struct link. It feeds off other NCPs
for output, passing fragmented packets into the queues
of available datalinks. It also gets PROTO_MP input,
reassembles the fragments into ppp frames, and passes
them back to the HDLC layer that the fragments were passed
from.
** It's not yet possible to enter multilink mode :-( **
o Add `set weight' (requires context) for deciding on a links
weighting in multilink mode. Weighting is simplistic (and
probably badly implemented) for now.
o Remove the function pointers in struct link. They ended up
only applying to physical links.
o Configure our tun device with an MTU equal to the MRU from
struct mp's LCP and a speed equal to the sum of our link
speeds.
o `show {lcp,ccp,proto}' and `set deflate' now have optional
context and use ChooseLink() to decide on which `struct link'
to use. This allows behaviour as before when in non-multilink
mode, and allows access to the MP logical link in multilink
mode.
o Ignore reconnect and redial values when in -direct mode and
when cleaning up. Always redial when in -ddial or -dedicated
mode (unless cleaning up).
o Tell our links to `staydown' when we close them due to a signal.
o Remove remaining `#ifdef SIGALRM's (ppp doesn't function without
alarms).
o Don't bother strdup()ing our physical link name.
o Various other cosmetic changes.
Increment OutPackets for any packet - not just LQRs
MFC:
o Fix a few comment typos.
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 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.
getpwnam() lookup).
o Don't use chat_ExpandString on the password field in ppp.secret.
It's still possible to quote the string for embedded spaces.
o Don't allow multiple entries with the same name in ppp.secret.
Struct bundle will have its own struct ccp in the future
too.
o The ``set stopped'' command now requires context and doesn't
work on the IPCP FSM.
o Check if it's time to break out of our top level loop before
doing a select - otherwise, we'll select forever :-(
o Remove `struct link'::ccp (a temporary hack). It turns out
that IpStartOutput() calls link_Output() and link_Output()
incorrectly calls StartOutput() (really modem_StartOutput)
requiring the ccp knowledge so that it can call
IpStartOutput()... The end result is that the whole IP
output queue gets dumped into the modem output queue
and a pile of physical writes are done prematurely. This
makes the (original) code in main() actually work in that
it would not bother selecting() on the tun descriptor when
our modem queue length was 20 or greater. Instead, we now
make that decision based on the overall queue length.
This will need improvement later.
Allow for NULL fd_sets in descriptor_UpdateSet()
Reimplement the entire chat module, creating
`struct chat' - a `type' of struct descriptor.
Remove CARRIER logging.
CONNECT logging now only logs "CONNECT" lines. CHAT logging
masks it with an entire log of the conversation.
Modem dialing is now asynchronous, including pauses
and timeouts :-)
The hooks in DoLoop() in main.c are *very* messy ! I'll have
to rewrite DoLoop fairly soon, so I don't care too much for the
moment. This code is pretty raw.
