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.
o Log FD_SET()s in LogTIMER.
o Identify the descriptor that causes an EBADF from select()
if LogTIMER is enabled (then exit).
o Call the MP server UpdateSet() function after calling
the UpdateSet() for all links - the link may enter
PHASE_TERMINATE and bring down the MP server - breaking
the imminent select().
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.
Any `add' or `delete' command that uses MYADDR or HISADDR
will be added to the sticky route list (show ipcp). When
MYADDR or HISADDR change due to IPCP negotiations, and if
`sroutes' is enabled (the default), all sticky route
entries are updated in the routing table.
The end result is that `add default hisaddr' will ``stick'',
as will ``add myaddr 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1'' and
``add 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.0 hisaddr''.
throughput measurement is enabled).
o Load balance the links based on weight *and* on a round-robin
basis. This makes things fairly even on an output basis. We
don't try to allow for the peer sending all his data down one
link (and try to send ours back up the other).
o Show the number of pending input buffers that can't be processed
in ``show mp''.
o Fix a typo in the man page.
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 !

exec()ing. Tidy up file dups in general prior to exec().
This prevents our tun device (fd 3) from staying open (and
configured) despite handing off all it's links and exiting
(because ``cat'' holds it open).
o Don't bother SIG_DFL'ing signals before exec() as they're
already trapped with specific handlers and will be handled
correctly by the exec.
o Use values from paths.h for "/dev/" and "/dev/tty".
o Don't assert() in physical.c.

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.
o change the default link name to ``deflink'' rather
than ``default''.
o Prepend the link name to CCP and LCP FSM diagnostics.
o Protect against 0 length options in CCP and IPCP REQ
interpreters (already done for LCP).
o Allow optional context for the `show' command.
o Use MPs link when interpreting commands if the multilink
mrru is configured rather than when multilink is active.
This means that once we've ``set mrru xxx'', we then need
to ``link deflink show ccp'' etc if we want to do link-level
stuff (based on the command requiring optional or manditory
context).
o Use the ifconfig'd interface address in `set enddisc {ip,mac}'
if it's there, otherwise the configuration file value.
first link in mp_Up().
o Bring MP and its CCP down when we enter phase TERMINATE,
and ditch everything in the incoming packet queue.
o Enable MRRU negotiation. Now, we can multilink
mode, but only with one physical link.
o Close the link if the peer PROTO REJs PROTO_MP.
o Prepend our protocol before passing a packet to
struct mp for fragmentation.
o Log info messages to DEBUG, not ERROR (oops).
o Align `show mp' output (again).
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.
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.
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''.
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.
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 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.
