in `set mode', `allow modes', on the command line and when
outputting mode names. The strings are matched so that only
enough characters to uniquely identify the string are required,
so you can now
ppp -a mylabel (for auto mode)
ppp -b mylabel (for background mode)
ppp -dd mylabel (for direct dial mode)
etc.
o Make -ddial dial when specified on the command line (oops).

generate the data to transfer.
o Transfer uucp lock ownership for the transferred device.
o Don't assume we know the correct values of dev_is_modem and
mbits after the transfer.
transferring session rights with them. Instead, create two
`/bin/cat' processes. A new child is spawned and disassociated from
the terminal and the parent, which continues with the rest of the ppp
process. Meanwhile, the parent spawns another child, and both the
parent and child exec the `/bin/cat' commands with the appropriate
descriptors. This way, the session is owned by the parent, and the
tty is held open.
o Close LCPs that have done a TLF and are now in ST_STOPPED before
calling Down. This prevents them from trying to come back up again
after the peer has shut them down (it seems a bit strange that the
rfc says that a Down in ST_STOPPED will cause a TLS etc).
o Don't try to set the physical link name pointer when we're receiving
and renaming a datalink. The physical hasn't been created yet, and as
it happens, the garbage physical pointer happens to be the value of another
physical - so we're pointing that other physical name at ourselves.
yeuck.
o Re-arrange the order of things in main (DoLoop()). We now handle
signals only after the select and not before the UpdateSet. It's
possible that either a signal (FSM timeout) or a descriptor_Read()
brings a link down, after which we'd better tidy up any dead direct
and 1off descriptors before calling UpdateSet() again.
o Mention when we detect a PPP packet when we see one before the link
is up (then start LCP as before).
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.
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.
the bundle has the opportunity to go PHASE_DEAD and cleanup
the interface (if it's the last link).
o Regnerate our phys_type value when we transfer the link.
o Always clean up the interface when destroying our bundle in case
we're abending.
o Always clean up our interface when the last link is gone rather than
delaying things 'till exit time in the -direct case (the interface
is useless anyway). Do this *after* slamming down our NCPs (if
they're still around).
o Our MP server descriptor now clears the relevent device descriptor
from our descriptor [fd]sets when a datalink is on death-row (to
be transferred to another running ppp), thus avoiding the possibility
of passing a bum descriptor to select() and having ppp abend.
o Handle the MP socket descriptor functions from within the bundle
descriptor functions. Now we ensure that the MP socket descriptor
functions see the descriptor sets *after* they've been seen by our
datalinks.
o Add/fix a few more comments.
into the ST_STOPPED state.
o Allow an optional ccp|lcp argument to `down'. The default is
still lcp (as before). You can now call down with no context
in multilink mode, in which case it'll down the multilink ccp
or the entire bundle (*very* rude).
o Allow an optional `!' after `close ccp' (close ccp!) to tell
ccp to stay in the CLOSED state after the terminate ACK. The
default is now to re-enter STOPPED so that the peer can bring
the layer back up if desired.
o Always handle proto-compressed packets, even if we've agreed
(in LCP) that the peer will not send us 1 byte protocols.
If the peer violates the LCP agreement, log it to the HDLC
log.
o Fix some comments.
LQM and HDLC timer diagnostics come out with the correct name.
o Don't send an LQR immediately upon reviving a datalink. Leave
it 'till the next timeout.
o Add the link name to some more LQR diagnostics.
o Break out of the main loop when a descriptor exception is seen
in select().
o Remove the evil nointr_[u]sleep() functions. Timers should be
(and are) used instead.
o Treat a read() of 0 bytes as an error that's fatal to the link
on which the read() is done. We should never read() 0 after
select() says there's something there - not unless the link
has been closed by the other side.
o Write the data seen before a HDLC header to the terminal in
`term' mode, *not* back to the modem :-/
o Initialise our transmitted file descriptor before starting any
timers.
o Only send data links that have *no* pending output data. This
means that our final ACK will be written rather than being
nuked with the datalink transmission.
for the last NCP TLF.
o Move tun reading from the main loop into the bundle descriptor
handling routines.
o Cosmetic: Add a few `const's and make some diagnostics clearer.
using the scatter/gather array to transfer the link
information. The whole link is now passed in one message.
This is far better than the two `/bin/cat' processes per additional
link :-) I remember years ago thinking that file descriptor
transferral would be a really amazing facility !

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....
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).
we've determined if we're going to join another ppp invocation.
o Make ``show link'' show all link details, and ``show links''
just give a list of links and their current status.
o Show our current label in ``show bundle''.
o Allow link cloning and removal as soon as our MRRU is set.
o Make ``show lcp'' require context as nothing will ever change
in our MP LCP (it's auto-configured as per rfc1990).
o Initialise our LQM owner in hdlc_Init().
o Store our endpoint discriminator and authentication name at both
the datalink and multilink level and compare them when we've
finished AUTHENTICATE phase and before entering NETWORK phase.
If they don't match, close the link again.
Display the information in the appropriate ``show'' command.
o Initialise datalink::phone and datalink::fsmp.object properly
when we're cloning the link.
o Show which link we're passing LQRs on in our diagnostics.
o Reject endpoint discriminator REQs at the logical multilink
level.
o Remove the rest of our CARRIER and LINK logging setup.
call it after link authentication.
o Pretty print our bundle MTU.
o Correct MP header encoding and decoding (should be network byte order).
o Add some debug diagnostics so that we can see MP fragment sending and
re-assembly.
o Don't go multilink if the peer hasn't agreed
o When negotiating multilink, don't try to push the peers
MRU up according to our `set mtu' setting. Instead, accept
whatever MRU they want and push their MRRU up instead.
o When *not* negotiating multilink, REJ short sequence number
REQs.

Setting MRRU is ifdef'd out until it's debugged and we can
merge -direct links with other running programs.
Fix MTU setting.
call datalink_Down() where appropriate rather than
modem_Hangup().
o Now, when something horrible happens (failed read/write, loss
of carrier etc), we go offline and run any hangup scripts etc
in a controlled manner - exactly the same as if someone says
``down'' at the prompt or sends us a HUP.
o -dedicated links that fail to make the modem raw close it,
suffer the redial timeout then try to open it again.
o Add a ``carrier lost'' warning diagnostic.

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 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 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.
option. We never ask a client for MSChap when we've got
chap `enabled', and we dynamically answer using MSChap
if the peer demands it.
o Remove all of the bundle2*() series of functions except
bundle2datalink() as they're too expensive. The only
calls to bundle2datalink() are made from command.c when
determining context.
o Write to the correct modem in term mode, and check the
return value, dropping back to command mode if the write
fails.
Cosmetic:
Make the PPP COMMAND LIST section of the man page
prettier, better and more consistent. Alphabeticalise
all command lists and document missing commands.
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.
