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.
This program was originally written by Toshiharu OHNO <tony-o@iij.ad.jp>,
and was submitted to FreeBSD-2.0.5 by Atsushi Murai <amurai@spec.co.jp>.
The original version was usually referred to as iij-ppp.
Ppp is currently maintained under FreeBSD and OpenBSD by Brian Somers
<brian@Awfulhak.org>. The sources for both operating systems are the
same although the Makefiles vary due to the nature of each system.
If and when it's ported to another OS, things will probably be shuffled
around so that there are several Makefiles, one per architecture.
The latest sources are available in FreeBSD-current and OpenBSD-current.
An archive hacked so that it will build on just about any version of
FreeBSD is frequently generated and made available on
http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. Once the first OpenBSD release is made
with ppp, an up-to-date OpenBSD archive will be made available too.
A FAQ is available at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html. It applies
equally to OpenBSD as it does to FreeBSD. The man page is quite extensive,
and there are lots of examples in /etc/ppp/ppp.*.sample. These examples
come with the hacked archive above but must be installed manually.
Ppp is still under development. There is no official TODO list.
