This is for various Olicom cards. An IBM driver is following.
This patch also adds support to tcpdump to decode packets on tokenring.

Some CHAP implementations send no welcome message with their
SUCCESS/FAILURE packets. This was being mis-identified as
a truncated packet by the new authentication code :-(
is complete before checking carrier. If it's there,
the device supports carrier. If it's not it doesn't.
Add the ``set cd'' command for deciding how soon to check
for carrier, and for deciding if carrier is REQUIRED.
The default has changed: Pre 2.0 versions of ppp waited
for 1 second. Version 2 didn't wait, but this causes
problems with some (few?) modems that don't assert carrier
immediately on reporting CONNECT. The one second delay
is back now and can be removed with ``set cd 0''.
Bump the ppp version number in case this needs to be changed
again....
each time rather than making up a new one.
Increase the authname/authkey max sizes to 100 characters.
Allow ``authkey'' specifications beginning with ``!''.
When a challenge is received, the text following the
``!'' is executed as a program (expanding stuff in the same
way that ``sh'' and ``!bg'' do). The program is passed the
peer name, peer challenge and local ``authname'' on standard
input and is expected to output the name/key combination that
should be used to build the CHAP response.
This provides support for Secure ID cards (guess what I was
given at work recently!) using CHAP.
Examples will follow.
incorrect; returning NULL here means that the dispatcher won't send any
response back to the caller, which means the caller will sit there waiting
until it times out. I don't know how this ever worked before. The effect
is that using 'ypset foo' to get the local ypbind to change servers would
work, but would sit there hanging for a long time for no reason.
Under certain conditions (possibly associated with heavy load), ypserv will
fork() child processes that don't exit like they're supposed to. I think
this is because of some suspect logic in the ypproc_all procedure. I updated
it to use what I hope is a more bulletproof approach.
Also tweaked yp_svc_run() a little so that the 'are we a child?' test happens
at every pass through the for(;;) loop, not just immediately after returning
from svc_getreqset2().
