- use CONSERVER_DEFAULTPORT and CONSERVER_DEFAULTHOST from
bsd.pkg.defaults.mk, instead of using obscure local variables
- obey VARBASE
- whitespace and delint
- example configuration files were never installed to PKG_SYSCONFDIR, make it
happen now (hi jlam!)
- replace test -e with -f in rc script, addresses part of PR pkg/26235
Fix PLIST while here.
Changes:
version 7.2.7 (Apr 9, 2003):
- added test suite ('make test') for basic client/server
communication tests
- changed configure script to provide better checking of options,
hp-ux specifics, and functions
- console names are no longer case-sensitive
- fixed case-sensitive DNS name comparisons - reported by
Peter Chubb via Jorgen Hagg
- added dmalloc and openssl version numbers to -V output
- reordered includes for openssl-0.9.7a compatibility
- conserver.rc looks at pidfile to find the master pid - suggested
by Petter Reinholdtsen
- misplaced code regarding --with-regex - patch by Andreas Wrede
- added password support for HP-UX trusted systems - immense
help by Greg Brown
- potential SIGUSR1 bug where cached terminal server availability
wasn't being cleared correctly - reported by Dave Stuit
- server is now more forgiving about errors instead of just
giving up and shutting everything down
- consoles that have trouble coming up (and are forced down)
now log when they come back up - suggested by Dave Stuit
version 7.2.6 (Mar 10, 2003):
- the -b conserver option was mostly broken (since 7.2.0)
- changed logging format so that all messages are of a similar
form
- fixed bad port number in 'cached previous timeout' message -
reported by Dave Stuit
- now using pid_t type for better compatibility
- fixed the RPM and Solaris package to include the man
page for conserver.passwd - suggested by R P Herrold
- added restart option (-HUP) to conserver startup scripts
- added -B option to client for sending messages to a single
server - suggested by Dave Stuit
- added --with-dmalloc for memory usage debugging
- bug with multiple interfaces and -M option not maching hostname
in configuration file - patch by Igor Sviridov
- memory leak using openssl library plugged
- automatic reinitialization of failed consoles now retries
every minute like the manpage says it does - reported by Chris
Fowler
- when -R option is used, substring matches on console names
from clients only match local console names (and if that
fails just remote console names) but ambiguous name list
returns both local and remote consoles - suggested by Todd
Stansell
version 7.2.5 (Jan 27, 2003):
- fixed many documentation bugs - reported by Dave Stuit
- added -I option to client which operates like -i, but on the
primary conserver only - suggested by Dave Stuit
- added SIGUSR2, which does not reread the configuration file,
but does everything else SIGHUP does - suggested at LISA 2002
- fixed bug where LOGDIR setting gets used even if no logfile
is wanted
- added -R option to server to prevent client redirection to
other conserver hosts - suggested by Todd Stansell
version 7.2.4 (Oct 14, 2002):
- added --with-openssl for some client/server encryption
- added -E option to client and server to allow for non-encrypted
connections (encryption is the default if compiled in)
- added -c option so credentials (certificate and key) can be
exchanged between client and server
- expanded -V output to show what optional bits actually got
compiled into the code (libwrap, regex, etc)
- compilation errors on non-shadow file systems without using
--with-pam - reported by Jesper Frank Nemholt
- client now prefers $LOGNAME, then $USER, then the current uid
for its -l default - suggested by Dave Stuit
- putting back socklen_t usage - it's the right thing to do,
so tell me where it breaks things
- configure options --with-cffile and --with-pwdfile now
by Stu May
- added -F server option to prevent automatic reinitialization
of failed consoles ('|' syntax consoles which exit with a
zero status are still reinitialized) - requested by William P
LePera and Malcolm Gibbs
- successful automatic reinitialization of consoles now attaches
a client that wants read-write mode
- added read-only client wish to become read-write in -i output
- moved to autoconf-2.54 and fixed some small configure.in bugs
Many thanks to John R. Jackson for the following
fixes, cleanups, and enhancements...
- "lost timestamps" bug (SIGALRM/sleep()/usleep()/tcp_wrapper
interaction)
- compiler warnings, bad fileOpenFD tests, and ability to use
a colon after an equal in the config file (LOGDIR=C:\Logs)
- autologin fix for Solaris BSM support
version 7.2.2 (Jun 05, 2002):
- added 'n' as token for no-parity - patch by Greg A. Woods
- extra timestamps occur when consoles come back up after being
down longer than their timestamp period - reported by Dave
Stuit
- AIX 5.1 pseudo-terminal support broken - patch by William P
LePera
- PID file overwritten and not unlinked on exit - reported by
William P LePera
- signals cleaned up in master, child, and sub-proc sections
- SIGPIPE now ignored - reported by Greg A. Woods
<eric@cirr.com>. Changes from version 7.1.3 include:
- bugfixes
- console names in conserver.passwd can be regular expressions
- breaks recorded to console logs if 'b' option used
- a broadcast messages to others on your console can now be
sent via ^Ecb
- TCP traffic now escaped according to Telnet protocol
- the HUP signal now triggers a read of the configuration file and
adjustment of consoles
- Up to nine break sequences can be defined in the
configuration file and assigned to consoles individually,
accessed via new ^ecl[?0-9] escape sequences
- new options
- -W client option for showing who's attached to a single
conserver master
- -m server option for setting the maximum consoles per process
- -i client option (and ^Eci) that displays console
information in a machine-parseable format
- two debug levels (second level by using two -D options)
- -o and -O server flags for automatically reconnecting
downed consoles
Conserver is an application that allows multiple users to watch a
serial console at the same time. It can log the data, allows users
to take write-access of a console (one at a time), and has a variety
of bells and whistles to accentuate that basic functionality.
The idea is that conserver will log all your serial traffic so you
can go back and review why something crashed, look at changes (if
done on the console), or tie the console logs into a monitoring
system (just watch the logfiles it creates).
With multi-user capabilities you can work on equipment with others,
mentor, train, etc.
It also does all that client-server stuff so that, assuming you
have a network connection, you can interact with any of the equipment
from home or wherever.
