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....
multilink ('cos I've seen my ISP REQ it without multilink).
Setting MRRU is ifdef'd out until it's debugged and we can
merge -direct links with other running programs.
Fix MTU setting.
bundle (non-negotiated vars) or to their respective IPCP,
LCP or CCP.
o Enable rolling throughput statistics by default.
o Remove the `display' command. These values now appear in
`show bundle', `show ipcp', `show ccp' and `show lcp'.
o Initialise auth name & key at bundle create time (oops).
o Rename pppd-deflate (the id-24 hack) to deflate24.
o Don't send both a REJ and a NAK to an IPCP or LCP REQ.
Favour the REJ (already done at the CCP level).
o Recurse in datalink_UpdateSet() when we change state, otherwise
we end up setting no descriptors and getting jammed in the
imminent select() instead of doing the dial/login/hangup.
o Display our CHAP encryption method despite being built with DES.
o Display VJ as not negotiated in ``show ipcp'' when necessary.
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.
struct lcp and display them in `show lcp'.
o Remove `show mru' and `show mtu' and make the data part of
`show lcp'. Also merge `set m[tr]u' and `set openmode'
implementations into the SetVariable function.
o `set timeout' only accepts the idle timer value as an argument.
o Move our lqr period into struct lcp, and create a `set lqrperiod'
command. Display it in `show lcp'.
o Remove VarRetryTimeout, and implement it at the LCP, PAP, CHAP,
CCP and IPCP levels, creating individual `set XXXretry' commands
for each. They must be separate because they have different
context requirements in multilink mode.
o Display default config values in `show ccp'.
o Tart the man page up a bit (wrt PPP/TCP, compression and LQR) and
explain the new commands.
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.
dodgy packets by default.
The old behaviour is still available with ``disable idcheck''.
o Make all FSM diagnostics consistent and tidy up the way
we build our LCP/CCP/IPCP requests.
o Don't assume sizeof(u_long) == 4.
This is a type of physical link that can chat and talk
LCP & CCP. A bundle contains a list of these (only one
in the list for the moment).
The datalink is a type of descriptor, and dials, enters
LCP (& does CCP), kicks the bundle when its FSMs do
something interesting and does the hangup chat script
on the way down. It also handles redials and reconnects.
There are lots of loose ends, and probably lots of bugs,
but the data structures are getting there !
o The FSM layering is now more sane.
o Move a lot of the NCP stuff into our ipcpstate rather than having it
in the bundle, including control of the configured IP addresses. We
don't need hacks like the global `linkup' variable any more as the
FSM decides when our ppp.link* files get run. This is going to eventually
be configurable based on FSM events anyway.
o Fix a few inconsistencies when both sides require authentication.
o We now have "Ppp..." and "PPp" prompts, reflecting authentication
and network phase. We don't print loads of spurious prompts as we
change phases any more.
o Our phase is part of the bundle now.
o Fix a bug where the FSM wasn't calling LayerFinish.
o Close the FSM down correctly with a signal rather than slamming it
down as if the line was dropped (the undocumented ``down'' command
is still available though).
o Remove the forgotten `tunno' variable and fix references to it.
This structure will eventually contain a list of NCPs (currently
only IPCP is supported) and a list of physical `struct link's.
It will also derive from a struct link itself.
Make ModemTimeout() static - it's way to dangerous to be called
from outside !
Bump version to 1.9. Our first MP release should be 2.0.
IPCP, CCP and LCP are now just derived FSMs.
Comment each of the FSM implementations so that we can
tell what's going on.
Revise the state transitions so that CCP and IPCP actually
send terminate REQs when appropriate.
The OS & IPCP layers are still like spagetti (next job).
