Changes since 1.1.9:
Logging fixes (deprecating -l option to sockd)
Two commercial modules available, redirect and bandwidth (not included in pkg)
Some more from the 'Changes' file:
o Move daemon() call to later so more errors can be reported, suggested
by Borsenkow Andrej <Andrej.Borsenkow@mow.siemens.ru>.
o fix problem when linking with libsocks;
NISHIMURA Daisuke <nishi@graco.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp>.
o fix some problems when socksifying, making certain programs
hang forever (e.g. certain versions/installations of "ssh -X").
Thanks to NISHIMURA Daisuke <nishi@graco.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp> for
diagnosis, help and testing.
o Don't mark the rule as good either if sockscf.state.unfixedpamdata,
fixes bug reported by Jerry Murdock" <jmurdock@itraktech.com>.
o fix a bug preventing the list given in a 'user:' keyword from
being checked correctly. Reported by Oleg Bulavsky <bulch@ftc.ru>.
o "-h" prints out configfile used, based on suggestion from
dh_tsc_10@ugcs.net.
o fix bugs that reset some defaults at the wrong time, reported by
dh_tsc_10@ugcs.net.
o prototype script for generation of graphs with usage information included
(bin/sockd-graphgen). Contact us if you run a socks server with significant
usage, and you are willing to help with testing.
o Some minor optimisations in server i/o code, at the cost of some
timer accuracy concerning bandwidth limiting/client expiration.
o prefix "socks" to some global variables to avoid collisions during
socksify. Reported by Don Reid <donr@cvs.agilent.com>.
o capi/socks.h needs Rxxx prototypes to work with a c++
compiler. Noted by Alex Morozov <alex@idisys.iae.nsk.su>.
o If Rgetsockname() is called on a socket that a previous uncompleted
Rconnect() has been done on, try to sleep until Rconnect() has
finished instead of returning ENOBUFS. Hoped to help compatibility
with some applications.
o Modified httpproxy code a little, based on patch from
dh_tsc_10@ugcs.net.
o Code for selecting which of multiple external ipaddresses to use
on a global basis based on routing.
Code contributed by Tom Chan <tchan@austin.rr.com>.
o Rename "pamservicename" to "pam.servicename".
o Fix memory overrun problem in Rgethostbyname*(). Found and
diagnosed by dme@dme.org, thanks.
o new method added: "pam". Code contributed by
Patrick Bihan-Faou, MindStep Corporation, patrick@mindstep.com.
o let client-rules have their own global methodline, "clientmethod",
default value set to "none".
The global "method" is only used for socks-rules now.
o delay checking of password/etc til we have received the socks
request (rather than during negotiation, as was the case).
Required for supporting passwordbased authentication via non-socks
methods, e.g. pam.
o socklen_t definition updated for NetBSD 1.5U.
Problem report and patch submitted by Janne Snabb <snabb@ssh.com>.
o Output from 'config.guess' is not sufficient to determine use
of elf on NetBSD.
Problem report and patch submitted by Janne Snabb <snabb@ssh.com>
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.
Changes include:
*** Tuesday, March 13, 2001 -- Dante v1.1.9
o fix big bug in rulespermit().
Problem reported by Stephan Eisvogel <eisvogel@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>.
*** Tuesday, February 20, 2001 -- Dante v1.1.8
o contrib directory actually added to distributed archive
*** Tuesday, February 20, 2001 -- Dante v1.1.7
o contrib/sockd-stat.awk, provides statistics based on sockd logfiles.
Contributed by Stephan Eisvogel <eisvogel@hawo.stw.uni-erlangen.de>.
o If gethostbyname() fails, treat it as if resolveprotocol was set to
fake, meaning we hope the socksserver will be able to resolve it.
Will presumably make certain dns configurations work better for
client.
o When showing rule (debug mode), print out linenumber too.
loosely based on suggestion from "N. Kremla" (kremlanh@aramco.com.sa).
o contrib/ directory added.
o Support for giving interfacenames as internal/external address.
o osf host test in configure did not match all alpha based machines;
Dobrica Pavlinusic <dpavlin@rot13.org>.
o -V flag added to sockd, which causes the server to exit after
parsing the configuration file.
o Header file (socks.h) with socks function prototypes added. By
default installed in /usr/local/include.
*** Tuesday, November 21, 2000 -- Dante v1.1.6
o fix a bug related to hostnamelength parsing in server.
Thanks to "Thomas Jarosch" <thomas.jarosch@styletec.de>.
*** Monday, October 16, 2000 -- Dante v1.1.5
o New prototype for gethostbyaddr in RedHat 7.0 added.
First reported by Paul R Streitman <prs@us.ibm.com>.
o RedHat needs libnsl for tcpwrappers to work.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
