-Changes from Version 2.8 to 3.0:
-
-- Many small improvements to server. 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
