ppp.link{up,down} is used based on the authenticated user.
o Support random address ranges in ppp.secret (not just in ppp.conf).
o Add a AUTHENTICATING INCOMING CONNECTIONS section to the man page.
o Add a bit more about DEFLATE in the man page.
o Fix the incorrect "you must specify a password in interactive

o Space things in the man page consistently.
o Be more precice about where you can use MYADDR, HISADDR and INTERFACE
in the "add" command documentation.
not in -auto mode isn't a good idea, and that the
add should be done in ppp.linkup instead.
Change "add 0 0 HISADDR" to "add default HISADDR". It's
more intuitive.
RTM_CHANGE if the RTM_ADD fails with an EEXIST.
Allow "delete! dst" (note the ``!'') to silently
fail if the RTM_DELETE fails with an ESRCH.
Also, make the ESRCH and EEXIST error conditions
more understandable to the casual observer.

o Display ******** for the authkey for "show auth"
o Document how \P should be used, and document the other chat escapes

o Make sure the full command is displayed when a compound command

Problem pointed out by: Theo de Raadt <deraadt@cvs.openbsd.org> (among others)
Validate the peers suggested IP by attempting to make a routing table
entry.
Give up IPCP negotiation if the peer NAKs us with an unusable IP.
Always SIOCDIFADDR then SIOCAIFADDR when configuring the tun device.
Using SIOCSIFDSTADDR allows duplicate dst addresses (which we don't
want)!!!
Allow up to 200 interface names (was 50) (now that ppp can play server
properly).
Up the version number (1.5 -> 1.6).
Cosmetic:
Log unexpected CCP packets in the CCP log rather than the ERROR log.
Log unexpected Config Reqs in the appropriate LCP/IPCP/CCP log rather
than the ERROR log.
Log failed route additions and deletions with WARN, not TCPIP.
Log the option id and length for unrecognised IPCP options.
Change some .Sq to .Ar in the man page.
Delete AF_LINK routes as well as AF_INET.
Allow the word `default' as the arg to `delete' or in place of the
first two args (dest & netmask) to `add'.
Accept INTERFACE as the third arg to `add'.
You can now say `add default interface' to create a default route
through the tun interface. It's reported that subsequent bind()s
will bind to a broadcast address and not to the address currently
assigned to the tun device - this is the first step towards
supporting that first connection that was around from before the
dynamic IP negotiation....
(I *really* meant to do this *before* committing the
deflate changes in the first place - oops).
Pppd is horribly broken in this respect - refer to the
ppp man page for details. Ppp *WON'T* negotiate deflate
with pppd by default - you must ``enable'' and ``accept''
``pppd-deflate'' in your config.
While I'm in there, update the cftypes in ccp.c so that
we recognise some more protocols (we don't actually do
anything with them - just send a REJ).
o Add "allow" command:
"allow users a b c" gives access to users a, b and c.
"allow modes auto" gives those users access to auto mode only.
"allow users *" and "allow modes *" are accepted.
No users and all modes are allowed by default.
UID 0 can do anything.
o Set the current label with the "load" and "dial" commands
so that the call to ppp.linkdown makes sense.
o Up the verison number.
o Don't OR MODE_AUTO for -background and -ddial.
o Don't OR MODE_INTER when we get a diagnostic connection.
o Allow up to 40 args per line (was 20).
o "set ifaddr" only changes the interface in AUTO mode (with other
modes, it happens after IPCP negotiation).
o Sort command descriptions in the man page.
o Support -dedicated mode where we just talk ppp forever (no login etc).
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.
Insist that uid == 0 for client ppp
Disallow client sockets if no password is specified
Don't exit on failure to open client socket for listening
Allow specification of null local password
Use reasonable size (smaller) ``vector''s in auth.c
Fix "passwd ..." usage message
Insist on "all" as arg to "quit" (if any)
Drop client socket connection before Cleanup() when "quit all"
This tells ppp to loopback packets addressed to
the ppp interface IP coming *from* the tun
device.
This means that you can ping the tun interface IP
from inside :-)
idependently time out any of the FSMs.
Split LCP logging into LCP, IPCP and CCP logging,
and make room in "struct fsm" for the log level
that the state machine should use.
"set stopped" directive. If the timeout occurs
it will cause a "Down" event, hanging up the line
if it's still up. This *isn't* part of the FSM
diagram, but I consider it ok as a "higher level
implementation specific timeout" as specified in
the rfc ;-}
Discussed briefly with: joerg
INT cause a hangup - not exiting for -ddial & -auto.
HUP must exit because init sends this at system shutdown
time (why, I don't know), and we don't want to end up

Suggested by: joerg
Document this behaviour. Document that the number of dial attempts
applies to the number of phone calls rather than the number of times
each number is dialed. Add a missing .El. Give a decent description
of how to connect to an ISP.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
connecting to a host immediately in the foreground.
I would like to be able to run ppp from a script so that my script can be
sure that it is connected to the 'net before it continues running:
# Dial up the internet.
ppp -background myprovider || exit 1
do-some-net-command
# Hang up the modem.
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/ppp.tun0.pid`
Another problem is that the current ppp calls its process id file
`/var/run/PPP.server', which may conflict if you have more than one IP
tunnel interface available.

add some logging functionality which I find very useful.
'set debug link' will record just link up/down and address assignments.
'set debug connect' will record the entire chat dialog
'set debug carrier' will record just chat lines including 'CARRIER'
(so that I can be sure I'm getting a 28.8 line).
There was a global change required to permit LogPrintf to take a bit
mask instead of a bit position value (to permit logging some events
on either of two flags, so that no change in 'set debug lcp' would
result from the code supporting 'link'. Thus the diffs are rather
long for such a small change. The man page is also touched.
Oh, and there was a slight syntax problem in route.c

A settable redial timer helps to avoid the problem where both ends
of a link want to dial at the same time and the line winds up busy
for both ends. The process id is logged in /var/run/PPP.system where
system is the name of the called system. When both ends of a link
are running in demand dial mode, you need an easy way to get the pid
of the ppp on the called end so it can be killed and re-started with
-direct or pppd started to handle the incoming ppp session.
