being the same as the previous (still supported) ``host:port''
syntax for tcp socket devices.
A udp device uses synchronous ppp rather than async, and avoids
the double-retransmit overhead that comes with ppp over tcp (it's
usually a bad idea to transport IP over a reliable transport that
itself is using an unreliable transport). PPP over UDP provides
througput of ** 1.5Mb per second ** with all compression disabled,
maxing out a PPro/200 when running ppp twice, back-to-back.
This proves that PPPoE is plausable in userland....
This change adds a few more handler functions to struct device and
allows derivations of struct device (which may contain their own
data etc) to pass themselves through the unix domain socket for MP.
** At last **, struct physical has lost all the tty crud !
iov2physical() is now smart enough to restore the correct stack of
layers so that MP servers will work again.
The version number has bumped as our MP link transfer contents have
changed (they now may contain a `struct device').
Don't extract the protocol twice in MP mode (resulting in protocol
rejects for every MP packet). This was broken with my original
layering changes.
Add ``Physical'' and ``Sync'' log levels for logging the relevent
raw packets and add protocol-tracking LogDEBUG stuff in various
LayerPush & LayerPull functions.
Assign our physical device name for incoming tcp connections by
calling getpeername().
Assign our physical device name for incoming udp connections from
the address retrieved by the first recvfrom().
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''.
we're already in network phase and our autoload values
are set with no minimum threshold (the default).
Tell the autoload timer that it's ``coming up'' *before*
calling AutoLoadTimeout() directly... not after. This
prevents the very first demand-dial connection from
immediately disconnecting when there are other auto links.

input routines and take advantage of the new init/continue
interface in libradius. This allows a timely response on
other links in an MP setup while RADIUS requests are in
progress as well as the ability to handle other data from
the peer in parallel. It should also make the future addition
of PAM support trivial.
While I'm in there, validate pap & chap header IDs if
``idcheck'' is enabled (the default) for other FSM packet
types.
NOTE: This involved integrating the generation of chap
challenges and the validation of chap responses
(and commenting what's going on in those routines).
I currently have no way of testing ppps ability
to respond to M$Chap CHALLENGEs correctly, so if
someone could do the honours, it'd be much
appreciated (it *looks* ok!).

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 :-(

to see if there's anything to do, schedule the next alarm

This decreases the load when there are lots of relatively
idle ppp processes.
While I'm in there, handle the possibility that a timeout

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 :-)

Also go back into command mode as soon as the device is closed

o Don't dump core when \T is given in ``set login'' or

o Remove a few extraneous #includes
o Define the default number of REQs (restart counter) in defs.h

o Fix a few man page inconsistencies.

This should only ever happen on systems that wrongly report a

o When changing the type of the last AUTO link, only clear
