With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.
