anything for two mintues (see ``set choked'' and ``show
bundle''), nuke the ip, mp and link level buffer queues.
This should fix problems where ``ppp -auto'' seems to stop
responding after failing to connect to the peer a few times.
(see the new ``set callback'' and ``set cbcp'' commands)
o Add a ``cbcp'' log level and mbuf type.
o Don't dump core when \T is given in ``set login'' or
``set hangup''.
o Allow ``*'' and blanks as placeholders in ppp.secret and
allow a fifth field for specifying auth/cbcp dialback
parameters.
o Remove a few extraneous #includes
o Define the default number of REQs (restart counter) in defs.h
rather than hardcoding ``5'' all over the place.
o Fix a few man page inconsistencies.
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.
in `set mode', `allow modes', on the command line and when
outputting mode names. The strings are matched so that only
enough characters to uniquely identify the string are required,
so you can now
ppp -a mylabel (for auto mode)
ppp -b mylabel (for background mode)
ppp -dd mylabel (for direct dial mode)
etc.
o Make -ddial dial when specified on the command line (oops).
Pointed out by: Alex <garbanzo@hooked.net>
of supporting architectures with different device names.
o Close /dev/tunX when destroying the bundle.
o Don't forget to close the parent end of the pipe in the child
process when exec'ing a program from a chat script.
o If we close our controlling terminal, ditch the current session
with it, allowing getty(8) (or whatever) to regain control.
o After transferring our controlling terminal descriptor to another
ppp instance, we now fork a new ppp to continue where we left off,
transferring ownership of all uucp locks and the /var/run/tunX.pid
file. Meanwhile the parent closes all file descriptors, defaults
all signals and does a pause() to wait for a HUP after the
transferred descriptor is finally closed.
We don't run /bin/cat any more (again!).
Suggested by: bde
TODO: It seems clocal devices need their pause()d session leader
to be given a manual HUP, as closing the last open descriptor
doesn't do the job.
Show the IP range (if specified) in "show ipcp".
Close unused descriptors 0 and 2 in interactive mode.
Pass (size_t *) rather than (int *) to sysctl().
Remove extraneous decls.
Add ``const'' to several places.
Allow ``make NOALIAS=1'' to remove IP aliasing.
Merge with OpenBSD - only the Makefiles vary.
We can now survive a compile with
-Wall -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual
-Winline -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls
-Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wchar-subscripts
(although the Makefile just contains -Wall).
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).
o Add missing $Id$s
o Move extern decls from .c -> .h files
o Staticize
o Remove #includes from .h files
o style(9)ify includes
o bcopy -> memcpy
bzero -> memset
bcmp -> memcmp
index -> strchr
rindex -> strrchr
o Move timeout.h -> timer.h (making it consistent w/ timer.c)
o Add -Wmissing-prototypes
o Style police
o Make hangup abort the current connection, not
necessarily exiting (-auto/-ddial).
o Trap HUP and INT during DoChat and abort the
connection attempt. This means you can now
type "dial" and change your mind with ^C, or
HUP the process to stop it dialing.

Also remove extraneous setuid(0) - it's only undone by
the subsequent call to SelectSystem().
o Use syslog
o Remove references to stdout/stderr (incl perror())
o Introduce VarTerm - the interactive terminal or zero
o Allow "set timeout" to affect current session
o Change "set debug" to "set log"
o Allow "set log [+|-]flag"
o Make MSEXT and PASSWDAUTH stuff the default
o Move all #ifdef DEBUG stuff into the code - this
shouldn't be too much overhead. It's now controlled
with "set log +debug"
o Add "set log command, debug, tun, warn, error, alert"
o Remove cdefs.h, and assume an ansi compiler.
o Improve all diagnostic output
o Don't trap SIGSEGV
o SIGHUP now terminates again (log files are controlled
by syslog)
o Call CloseModem() when changing devices
o Fix parsing of third arg of "delete"
I think this fixes the "magic is same" problems that some
people have been experiencing.
The man page is being rewritten. It'll follow soon.

The man page warns against using this command when your

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.

to keep the link up, so it re-dials whenever it detects the link go
down. This is useful for 'dedicated' links who use PPP.
It's been used for over a year w/out problems at different sites.
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.
