and implement a far more subtle and correct fix.
The reason behind the infinite loop was that ppp was trying to make up
initial IPv6 numbers and wasn't giving up when it failed unexpectedly to
assign the addresses it just fabricated to it's interface (thinking that
the reason was because another interface was using the same address).
It now attempts this up to 100 times before just failing and trying to
muddle along (in reality, this should never happen more than a couple
of times unless our random number generator doesn't work).
Also, when IPv6 is not available, don't even try to assign the IPv6
interface address in the first place...
structures (well, they're treated as opaque).
It's now possible to manage IPv6 interface addresses and routing
table entries and to filter IPV6 traffic whether encapsulated or
not.
IPV6CP support is crude for now, and hasn't been tested against
any other implementations.
RADIUS and IPv6 are independent of eachother for now.
ppp.linkup/ppp.linkdown aren't currently used by IPV6CP
o Understand all protocols(5) in filter rules rather than only a select
few.
o Allow a mask specification for the ``delete'' command. It's now
possible to specifically delete one of two conflicting routes.
o When creating and deleting proxy arp entries, do it for all IPv4
interface addresses rather than doing it just for the ``current''
peer address.
o When iface-alias isn't in effect, don't blow away manually (via ``iface
add'') added interface addresses.
o When listening on a tcp server (diagnostic) socket, bind so that a
tcp46 socket is created -- allowing both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
o When displaying ICMP traffic, don't display the icmp type twice.
When display traffic, display at least some information about unrecognised
traffic.
o Bump version

encryption compatibility with Windows 2000. Stateful encryption
uses less CPU but is bad on lossy transports.
The ``set mppe'' command has been expanded. If it's used with any
arguments, ppp will insist on encryption, closing LCP if the other
end refuses.
Unfortunately, Microsoft have abused the CCP reset request so that
receiving a reset request does not result in a reset ack when using
MPPE...

(LCP/CCP/IPCP), one for urgent IP traffic and one for
everything else.
o Add the ``set urgent'' command for adjusting the list of
urgent port numbers. The default urgent ports are 21, 22,
23, 513, 514, 543 and 544 (Ports 80 and 81 have been
removed from the default priority list).
o Increase the buffered packet threshold from 20 to 30.
o Report the number of packets in the IP output queue and the
list of urgent ports under ``show ipcp''.
o Show more information about missing MP fragments in ``show mp''.
o Do away with mbuf_Log(). It was showing mbuf stats twice on
receipt of LCP/CCP/IPCP packets.... ???!!?
o Pre-allocate a bit extra when creating LQR packets to avoid having
to allocate another mbuf in mbuf_Prepend().
header in fsm_Input() we often end up with a NULL mbuf.
Deal with a possible NULL mbuf being passed into
mbuf_Prepend().
Adjust some spacing to make things more consistent.
the layering.
We now ``stack'' layers as soon as we open the device (when we figure
out what we're dealing with). A static set of `dispatch' routines are
also declared for dealing with incoming packets after they've been
`pulled' up through the stacked layers.
Physical devices are now assigned handlers based on the device type
when they're opened. For the moment there are three device types;
ttys, execs and tcps.
o Increment version number to 2.2
o Make an entry in [uw]tmp for non-tty -direct invocations (after
pap/chap authentication).
o Make throughput counters quad_t's
o Account for the absolute number of mbuf malloc()s and free()s in
``show mem''.
o ``show modem'' becomes ``show physical''.

Don't do a TLF when we get a ``Catastrphic Protocol Reject'' event
in state ``closed'' or ``stopped''.
Pointed out but not suggested by: archie
This makes no difference in the current implementation as
LcpLayerFinish() does nothing but log the event, but I disagree
in principle because it unbalances the TLF/TLS calls which
(IMHO) doesn't fit with the intentions of the RFC.
Maybe the RFC author had a reason for this. It can only happen
in two circumstances:
- if LCP has already been negotiated then stopped or closed and we
receive a protocol reject, then we must already have done a TLF.
Why do one again and stay in the same state ?
- if LCP hasn't yet been started and we receive an unsolicted
protocol reject, why should we TLF when we haven't done a TLS ?
that are made in each of the FSMs (LCP, CCP & IPCP) and the
number of REQs/Challenges for PAP/CHAP by accepting more arguments
in the ``set {c,ip,l}cpretry'' and ``set {ch,p}apretry'' commands.
Change the non-convergence thresholds to 3 times the number of configured
REQ tries (rather than the previous fixed ``10''). We now notice
repeated NAKs and REJs rather than just REQs.
Don't suggest that CHAP 0x05 isn't supported when it's not configured.
Fix some bugs that expose themselves with smaller numbers of retries:
o Handle instantaneous disconnects (set device /dev/null) correctly
by stopping all fsm timers in fsm2initial.
o Don't forget to uu_unlock() devices that are files but are not
ttys (set device /dev/zero).
Fix a *HORRENDOUS* bug in RFC1661 (already fixed for an Open event in state
``Closed''):
According to the state transition table, a RCR+ or RCR- received in
the ``Stopped'' state are supposed to InitRestartCounter, SendConfigReq
and SendConfig{Ack,Nak}. However, in ``Stopped'', we haven't yet
done a TLS (or the last thing we did is a TLF). We must therefore
do the TLS at this point !
This was never noticed before because LCP and CCP used not use
LayerStart() for anything interesting, and IPCP tends to go into
Stopped then get a Down because of an LCP RTR rather than getting a
RCR again.
details. Compiling with -DNORADIUS (the default for `release')
removes support.
TODO: The functionality in libradius::rad_send_request() needs
to be supplied as a set of routines so that ppp doesn't
have to wait indefinitely for the radius server(s). Instead,
we need to get a descriptor back, select() on the descriptor,
and ask libradius to service it when necessary.
For now, ppp blocks SIGALRM while in rad_send_request(), so
it misses PAP/CHAP retries & timeouts if they occur.
Only PAP is functional. When CHAP is attempted, libradius
complains that no User-Password has been specified... rfc2138
says that it *mustn't* be used for CHAP :-(

do TLD *before* processing the config request as
TLD initialises the peers LCP values.
It's strange that an IRC isn't required here - but
I'll bow to the wisdom of the rfc.
o If we've denied and disabled all compression protocols, stay
in ST_INITIAL and do an LCP protocol reject if we receive any
CCP packets.
o If we've disabled all compression protocols, go to ST_STOPPED
and wait for the other side to ask for something.
o If we've got anything enabled, start REQing as soon as the auth
layer is up.
o If we're in multilink mode, than the link level CCP goes
straight to ST_STOPPED irrespective of what's configured so that
we never try to compress compressed stuff by default.
o Allow ``set ....'' when we have multiple links but aren't in
multilink mode.
o Do a TLS when we receive a ``Open'' event in ``Closed'' state,
despite the rfc state transition table. This is clearly an
error in the RFC as TLS cannot have yet been called (without
TLF) in the ``Closed'' state.
I've posted a message to comp.protocols.ppp for confirmation.
open capable of re-negotiatiating the various layers.
It is now possible to change various link options and then
re-open the relevant layer, making the changes effective -
for example, switching off VJ compression or starting ECHO
LQRs on-the-fly.
o Bring the static ``ttystate'' into struct prompt so that
the tilde context is per prompt and not global.
o Comment the remaining static variables so that it's
clear why they're static.
o Add some XXX comments suggesting that our interface list
and our hostname should be re-generated after a signal
(say SIGUSR1) so that a machine with PCCARDs has a chance.
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).
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).
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 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.
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.
o int modem was unused.
o StateNames[] is now accessed via State2Nam()
o ipKeepAlive is no more. As a result, we must call FilterCheck()
twice if we're doing TCP/IP logging (once when we queue and log
the packet and once when we transmit it and need to know if the
idle timer should be reset), but this won't be the case
in normal life.
dodgy packets by default.
The old behaviour is still available with ``disable idcheck''.
o Make all FSM diagnostics consistent and tidy up the way
we build our LCP/CCP/IPCP requests.
o Don't assume sizeof(u_long) == 4.
