A nice thing about utmpx is that it makes it very easy to log sessions
that don't use TTYs. This is because the file is not indexed by TTY
slots anymore.
Silence from: brian
that we're now closing, manually HUP that session leader
so that the tty is fully released.
o Always restart our carrier detect timer in the receiving
process if it was running in the sending process (as we
now *always* pass the descriptor).
o Tweak argv when we go into pause() mode to keep our session
so that ps can see what's going on (without checking for a
`pause' state in `ps -l').
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.
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).
and denied by default (POLA).
o Remove ``enable'' msext. Now, doing a ``set nbns'' will
automatically enable a NBNS ACK/NAK rather than a REJ.
o Add accept|disable|deny|enable dns. If we ``accept'',
we'll tell the peer what our nameservers are (if he asks).
The values in resolv.conf can be overridden with the
``set dns'' command. If we ``enable'', we'll REQ using
our resolv.conf entries, and any NAKs are written back to
resolv.conf.
o Remove ``show msext'' and show the relevent IP numbers in
``show ipcp''.
Stay as the invoking uid as much as possible.
Execution as a normal user is still forbidden for now,
so these changes are pretty ineffective.
The next commit will implement the modifications suggested
on -hackers a number of days ago.
