PPTP links are no longer dropped by simple (and inappropriate in this
case) "inactivity timeout" procedure, only when requested through the
control connection.
It is now possible to have multiple PPTP servers running behind NAT.
Just redirect the incoming TCP traffic to port 1723, everything else
is done transparently.
Problems were reported and the fix was tested by:
Michael Adler <Michael.Adler@compaq.com>,
David Andersen <dga@lcs.mit.edu>
- Multiple PPTP clients behind NAT to the same or different servers.
- Single PPTP server behind NAT -- you just need to redirect TCP
port 1723 to a local machine. Multiple servers behind NAT is
possible but would require a simple API change.
- No API changes!
For more information on how this works see comments at the start of
the alias_pptp.c.
PacketAliasPptp() is no longer necessary and will be removed soon.

It does mean that it is now possible to run passive-mode FTP
server behind NAT.
- SECURITY: FTP aliasing engine now ensures that:
o the segment preceding a PORT/227 segment terminates with a \r\n;
o the IP address in the PORT/227 matches the source IP address of
the packet;
o the port number in the PORT command or 277 reply is greater than
or equal to 1024.

Major number is not bumped because it is believed that noone
has started using PacketAliasRedirectPptp() yet.

- PPTP redirecting support added based on patches

Add bounds checking to netbios NS packet resolving code. This should
prevent natd from crashing on badly formed netbios packets (as might be
heard when the machine is sitting on a cable modem or certain DSL
networks), and also closes potential security holes that might have
exploited the lack of bounds checking in the previous version of the
code.
ppp (or will be shortly). Natd can now be updated to use
this library rather than carrying its own version of the code.
