envoked -- don't use them (as return values from open()), then
(say) close(STDIN_FILENO) when daemonising.
This is done by grabbing 3 descriptors to /dev/null at startup and
releasing them after we've daemonised.

Allow ``set server open'' to re-open the diagnostic socket.
Handle SIGUSR1 by re-opening the diagnostic socket
When receiving SIGUSR2 (and in ``set server none''), don't forget the
socket details so that ``set server open'' and SIGUSR1 open it again.
Don't create the diagnostic socket as uid 0 ! It's far to dangerous.
when we're redialing/reconnecting.
While we're here, log redial, reconnect and phone number
announcements to LogCHAT, and reduce some other logging to
LogDEBUG.
dropping out of background/foreground/direct mode.
This avoids either having to wait for the redial timer before
exiting or jaming up in select() waiting for something that'll
never happen.
doing a HangupDone(). The HangupDone() may fuel
bundle_CleanDatalinks(), and if so, the bogus
UpdateSet() ends up select()ing on a closed
descriptor.....
Change the main `do/while' loop to a `for' loop so
that any `continue's do the bundle_CleanDatalinks()
& bundle_IsDead() bit.
Warn about -alias being depricated (but still allow it).
Don't moan twice about failing to open any tun device.
Fix a diagnostic and add the -quiet switch to the usage message.
that ppp stays in the foreground.
o Add the -quiet switch to quieten ppps startup
o Add the -nat flag and discourage the use of the -alias flag. Both do
the same thing.
o Correct some nat usage strings.
o Change the internal ``alias'' command to ``nat''.
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''.
need to process a signal (usually a SIGALRM). Check to see
if we need to process a signal both before *and* after calling
select() as older (pre-2.0) versions of ppp used to.
This handles the possibility that ppp may block at some
point (maybe due to an open() of a misconfigured device).
Previously, we'd potentially lock up in select().
The `necessary' marker reduces the increased signal checking
overhead so that at full speed with no compression transferring
an 83Mb file via a ``!ppp -direct'' device, we get a 1%
throughput gain.
input routines and take advantage of the new init/continue
interface in libradius. This allows a timely response on
other links in an MP setup while RADIUS requests are in
progress as well as the ability to handle other data from
the peer in parallel. It should also make the future addition
of PAM support trivial.
While I'm in there, validate pap & chap header IDs if
``idcheck'' is enabled (the default) for other FSM packet
types.
NOTE: This involved integrating the generation of chap
challenges and the validation of chap responses
(and commenting what's going on in those routines).
I currently have no way of testing ppps ability
to respond to M$Chap CHALLENGEs correctly, so if
someone could do the honours, it'd be much
appreciated (it *looks* ok!).

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 :-(

exits, it causes a select() exception.
Handle these select() exceptions on link descriptors in pretty
much the same way as loss of carrier rather than dropping out
in confusion.
demand-dial links with dynamic IP numbers where the program
that causes the dial bind()s to an interface address that is
subsequently changed after ppp negotiation.
The problem is defeated by adding negotiated addresses to the
tun interface as additional alias addresses and providing a set
of ``iface'' commands for managing the interface. Libalias is
also required (and what a name clash!) - it happily IP-aliases
the address so that the source is that of the primary (negotiated)
interface and un-IP-aliases it on the way back.
An ``enable iface-alias'' is done implicitly by the -alias command
line switch. If -alias isn't given, iface-aliasing is disabled by
default and can't be enabled 'till an ``alias enable yes'' is done.
``alias enable no'' silently disables iface-alias.
So, for dynamic-IP-type-connections, running ``ppp -alias -auto blah''
will work for the first connection, although existing bindings will
not survive a disconnect/connect as the TCP peer will be trying to
send to the old IP address - the packets won't route.
It's now a lot easier to add IPXCP to ppp with minor updates to
the new iface.[ch] (if anyone ever gets 'round to it).
It's also now possible to manually add interface aliases with
something like ``iface add 1.2.3.4/24 5.6.7.8''. This allows
multi-homed ppp links :-)
(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.
end up writing zero bytes, sleep for 1/10 of a second so that
we don't end up using up too much cpu.
This should only ever happen on systems that wrongly report a
descriptor as writable despite the tty buffer being full.
Discussed with: Jeff Evarts
o Do an initial run-time check to see if select() alters the passed
timeval. This knowledge isn't yet used, but will be soon.
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.
