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
redialing after the HUP (due to another dfilter packet).
Pointed out by and discussed with: ache
Catch SIGUSR1 to re-init listening socket.
Document signal behaviour.
Add missing '\n's to LogPrintf(LogWARN,...)
Main() returns int not void.

Also remove extraneous setuid(0) - it's only undone by
the subsequent call to SelectSystem().
of reconnect & -background.
o Fix reconnect anomolies.
o Make reconnect apply to failed LQR hangups (& mention in man page).
o Make reconnect effective in -background mode.
o Listen on socket in -background mode.
o Try all phone numbers in -background mode.
o Insist on system arg in -background mode.
o Make a control-connection close command exit in -background mode.
o Output status message to stdout on exit of parent in -background mode.
o Don't notify parent of success too soon.
o Describe termination EX_* code.
o Miscelaneous diagnostic corrections.
o Remove redundant connect_time from modem.c.
o Don't repeatedly DownConnection().

The man page warns against using this command when your
timeout value is slightly more than the other sides :{}

list has been dialed. Alternate number dialing has no "pause".
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.
