is not possible to switch to or from dedicated or direct mode,
but all other combinations are ok (eg. -auto -> -ddial).
o Cope with the fact that commands with optional context may not
be able to obtain a link with command_ChooseLink() (if all links
have been deleted for example).
o Allow `clone'ing in non-multilink mode. We may for example want
to configure two links in unilink mode and dial them both, using
the one that comes up first. It's also possible to rename
``deflink'' by cloning it, deleting the original, then setting
the mode of the new link.

o Use _PATH_DEVNULL rather than "/dev/null"
o Be more paranoid about nuking running timers when
transferring links.
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.
o Shuffle things that live at the datalink level into
``show link'' rather than ``show modem''.
o Make both ``show'' commands prettier and more consistent,
and display carrier status, link type and our name in
``show modem''.
o Show redial and reconnect information in ``show link''
and remove ``show redial'' and ``show reconnect''.
o Down the correct link in bundle_LinkLost().
o Remove stale -direct and -background links at the end
of our main loop, not when we know they're going. This
prevents unexpected pointer-invalidations...
o If we ``set server'' with the same values twice, notice
and don't moan about failure.
o Record dial script despite our link mode. The mode may
be changed later (next mod) :-) We never run scripts
in -direct and -dedicated modes.
o Make ``set server none'' functional again.
o Correct datalink state array so that we don't report an
``unknown'' state.
o Pass struct ipcp to IpcpCleanInterface, not struct fsm.
o Create TUN_PREFIX define rather than hard-coding in main.c
o prompt_TtyInit now handles a NULL prompt for -direct mode
rather than having to create one then destroy it uncleanly.
o Mention our mode in the "PPP Started" LogPHASE message.
o Bring all auto links up when we have something to send.
o Remove some redundant Physical_*() functions.
o Show which connection is running a command when logging
commands.
o Initialise throughput uptime correctly.
o Our diagnostic socket has its password set in the `set socket'
line only (not in ppp.secret).
o Passwords are per server socket (*VarAuthKey are gone)
o Authority is per prompt (VarLocalAuth is gone).
o Local logging is per prompt.
o Add a `show who' command to see who's connected. No identd
routine - just a `where the connection came from' display.
o SIGUSR1 is disabled for now - we have no way of choosing a
password for the socket created :-(
Prompts are attached as a list of `struct descriptor's in
struct bundle, and serviced under the bundles descriptor
service routines. Ultimately, everything should be done
like this.
Cosmetic:
o alphabeticalise SRCS in Makefile.
o Add a few comments in command.h
TODO: Start checking that we don't overflow the descriptor sets
in select() now that we can have any number of descriptors.
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.
Show the IP range (if specified) in "show ipcp".
Close unused descriptors 0 and 2 in interactive mode.
Pass (size_t *) rather than (int *) to sysctl().
Remove extraneous decls.
Add ``const'' to several places.
Allow ``make NOALIAS=1'' to remove IP aliasing.
Merge with OpenBSD - only the Makefiles vary.
We can now survive a compile with
-Wall -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual
-Winline -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls
-Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wchar-subscripts
(although the Makefile just contains -Wall).
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).
o Add missing $Id$s
o Move extern decls from .c -> .h files
o Staticize
o Remove #includes from .h files
o style(9)ify includes
o bcopy -> memcpy
bzero -> memset
bcmp -> memcmp
index -> strchr
rindex -> strrchr
o Move timeout.h -> timer.h (making it consistent w/ timer.c)
o Add -Wmissing-prototypes
o Style police
o Make hangup abort the current connection, not
necessarily exiting (-auto/-ddial).
o Trap HUP and INT during DoChat and abort the
connection attempt. This means you can now
type "dial" and change your mind with ^C, or
HUP the process to stop it dialing.

Also remove extraneous setuid(0) - it's only undone by
the subsequent call to SelectSystem().
o Use syslog
o Remove references to stdout/stderr (incl perror())
o Introduce VarTerm - the interactive terminal or zero
o Allow "set timeout" to affect current session
o Change "set debug" to "set log"
o Allow "set log [+|-]flag"
o Make MSEXT and PASSWDAUTH stuff the default
o Move all #ifdef DEBUG stuff into the code - this
shouldn't be too much overhead. It's now controlled
with "set log +debug"
o Add "set log command, debug, tun, warn, error, alert"
o Remove cdefs.h, and assume an ansi compiler.
o Improve all diagnostic output
o Don't trap SIGSEGV
o SIGHUP now terminates again (log files are controlled
by syslog)
o Call CloseModem() when changing devices
o Fix parsing of third arg of "delete"
I think this fixes the "magic is same" problems that some
people have been experiencing.
The man page is being rewritten. It'll follow soon.

connecting to a host immediately in the foreground.
I would like to be able to run ppp from a script so that my script can be
sure that it is connected to the 'net before it continues running:
# Dial up the internet.
ppp -background myprovider || exit 1
do-some-net-command
# Hang up the modem.
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/ppp.tun0.pid`
Another problem is that the current ppp calls its process id file
`/var/run/PPP.server', which may conflict if you have more than one IP
tunnel interface available.

to keep the link up, so it re-dials whenever it detects the link go
down. This is useful for 'dedicated' links who use PPP.
It's been used for over a year w/out problems at different sites.
A settable redial timer helps to avoid the problem where both ends
of a link want to dial at the same time and the line winds up busy
for both ends. The process id is logged in /var/run/PPP.system where
system is the name of the called system. When both ends of a link
are running in demand dial mode, you need an easy way to get the pid
of the ppp on the called end so it can be killed and re-started with
-direct or pppd started to handle the incoming ppp session.
