Server now only makes one + discovery socket, systemwide, with addition of "-n" option to pppoe. + +- Fixes for compilation problems on BSD, Solaris and some Linux platforms. + +- Added "-p" option to pppoe-server to allow you to specify a pool of + IP addresses to assign to clients. + +- Added GUI system (tkpppoe). This work was funded by Iospan + Wireless, Inc. The GUI includes a Set-UID wrapper (pppoe-wrapper) + which allows ordinary users to control a link (if so authorized.) + I believe the wrapper script is secure, but please audit the + source code (gui/wrapper.c) if you have any concerns. + +- Changes to scripts and pppoe.conf. DNS setup is now dynamic (happens + each time adsl-connect runs.) + +- Made relay.c check packet lengths rigorously; made it throw out Ethernet + frame padding on session packets as well as discovery packets. + +Changes from Version 2.7 to 2.8: + +- Added init scripts for TurboLinux, courtesy of Yasuhiro Sumi. + +- Made relay.c check packet lengths rigorously; made it throw out Ethernet + frame padding on discovery packets. + +*** NOTE: 2.7 was not released publicly + +Changes from Version 2.6 to 2.7: + +- Completely restructured source file tree. + +- Much internal restructuring to eliminate a bunch of global variables. + +- adsl-connect now executes /etc/ppp/adsl-lost whenever connection is dropped + or cannot be established. + +- Split pppoe.c into pppoe.c and discovery.c. + +- Added relay agent (pppoe-relay). + +- Made adsl-connect script use the "-U" (host-unique) option to better support + multiple PPPoE links. + +- Added support for kernel-mode PPPoE (EXPERIMENTAL, UNSUPPORTED!) + +- Added "-o" option to PPPoE server; encoded server PID in pppoe-server + cookie. + +Changes from Version 2.5 to 2.6: + +- Code should now compile cleanly on Caldera and Slackware Linux + +- Fixed rp-pppoe.spec file to work on Mandrake and Red Hat. + +- Deleted some obsolete files + +- Fixed bug in Solaris/x86 port (thanks to Philippe Levan) + +- Made shell scripts nicer under Solaris (again, Philippe Levan) + +- Made adsl-status look under /var/run and /etc/ppp for PID files. Should + fix problems with NetBSD. + +- Added PPPD_EXTRA to pppoe.conf; made the PID file depend on the config + file name. This makes it easier to run multiple PPPoE sessions. + +Changes from Version 2.4 to 2.5: + +- Tested for zero-length TCP option-length field, and for reverse-packing + of type/code bitfields. Thanks to Robert Schlabbach for pointing out + these problems. + +- Set umask to 077 in adsl-setup.in to protect created files like + /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. + +Changes from Version 2.3 to 2.4: + +- Fixed spec file to automatically add .gz extension to man files as required + +- Tightened firewall rules. + +- Better check for /var/run in adsl-status; minor shell script fixes and + cleanups for NetBSD and Solaris. + +- Added FAQ to HOW-TO-CONNECT regarding running a script each time a + connection is made. + +Changes from Version 2.2 to 2.3: + +- Fixed the init script to create/remove /var/lock/subsys/adsl (patch + courtesy of Charley Carter.) + +- Added support (under Linux) for N_HDLC line discipline which should + greatly reduce CPU usage. My tests show it cuts CPU usage in half. + My 486 DX2/66 gets 800 kb/s at 22% CPU usage. + +- adsl-connect uses "setsid" (if available) so that adsl-stop doesn't kill + its caller. There is (IMO) a bug in pppd which kills all processes in + its process group if the "pty" option is used. The setsid program gets + around this bug, on Linux at least. + +- Port to Solaris, courtesy of David Holland. + +- Renamed spec file from "spec" to "rp-pppoe.spec" and made some cleanups. + NOTE: Red Hat, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make the new RPM + compress man pages automatically. You may have problems building RPM's + from source unless you get the latest rpm package and make sure it + compresses man pages. + +Changes from Version 2.1 to 2.2: + +- Added "-f" option to pppoe to allow use of any Ethernet frame type + for PPPoE. USE WITH CAUTION -- this is a workaround for broken DSL + providers, not something you should monkey with freely! + +- Added pppoe-sniff program to help expose non-standard PPPoE implementations. + +Changes from Version 2.0 to 2.1: + +- Fixed minor bugs in bounds-checking + +- Modified adsl-status to use output of "netstat -r -n" to determine whether + or not link is up. This should make it independent of locale, I hope! + +- Added "-k" and "-d" options to pppoe. + +Changes from Version 1.9 to 2.0: + +- Addition of pppoe-server + +- Massive internal code restructuring + +- Zealous bounds-checking everywhere. + +- adsl-setup now quotes user name and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. + +- Ported to OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD, courtesy of Geoff Mottram + and Yannis Sismanis. + +- Rearranged adsl-* shell scripts, courtesy of Heiko Schlittermann. + +- Fixed bug in which Host-Uniq did not work if access concentrator sent + a cookie. + +- Addition of SuSE-specific "init" script, courtesy of Gary Cameron. + +Changes from Version 1.8 to 1.9: + +- Added some more documentation to HOW-TO-CONNECT + +- Demand-dialling option now works correctly + +- SIGHUP terminates pppoe after sending a PADT to the access concentrator + +- Minor cleanups to connection shell scripts + +Changes from Version 1.7 to 1.8: + +- Added demand-dialling option + +- Clarified HOW-TO-CONNECT + +- Added adsl-status script + +- Added "restart" and "status" options to Red Hat /etc/rc.d/init.d/adsl script + +- Made adsl-setup check for existence of pppd + +- Wildcarded external interface in firewall rules + +- Made pppoe send a PADT frame if connection is terminated + +$Id$ |
