- adjustments to documentation after move to github
- removal of old RCS/CVS tags since we have git
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
option is used:
* Use correct sockaddr length when doing getnameinfo() for inet6,
so we avoid an early return with "permanent failure" from getnameinfo()
* Use temp variables for walking the address lists so that we avoid trying
freeaddrinfo(NULL) and getting SEGV
This still isn't fully baked and backward compatible: with the
inet6 option turned on, on NetBSD the conserver process only opens
an inet6 server socket and no longer serves an inet socket (a
Linuxism, I suspect), making it troublesome to interoperate with
older versions of conserver or installations on hosts without IPv6
connectivity.
PKGREVISION bumped.
Don't default on inet6, since the inet6 code in conserver8 depends
on some Linux-isms (ipv6 sockets can accept ipv4 packets.)
PLIST:
add some example configurations that were missing.
version 8.2.1 (Jun 2, 2015):
- added TCP keepalives between client and server - TCP-based consoles
already had the code - this was mostly an oversight
- patch for SEGV and task execution - patch by Artem Savkov
<asavkov@redhat.com>
- expanded break sequences from [1-9] to [1-9a-z] - based on patch by
Artem Savkov <asavkov@redhat.com>
pkgsrc:
options.mk:
add support inet6
The way the conserver is coded, you get inet6 or you get uds
patches/patch-conserver_readcfg.c:
new patch, fixing a setproctitle() bug with inet6.
This needs to be sent upstream.
Makefile:
install sample configurations
Change maintainer to pkgsrc-users@netbsd.org
old maintainer address bounced.
drop ``--with-regex'' option, it's no longer supported.
Existing SHA1 digests verified, all found to be the same on the
machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). Existing SHA1
digests retained for now as an audit trail.
- added --with-trust-uds-cred which uses getsockopt() to fetch and
trust the client uid, bypassing password lookups - patch by Anton
Lundin <glance@acc.umu.se>
- missing closedir() causing memory leak - patch by Anton Lundin
<glance@acc.umu.se>
- sending a break signal over IPMI was broken - based on patch by
Alexander Y. Fomichev <git.user@gmail.com>
- IPv6 support (marked as experimental at this point because it's
untested (except by the author), there's a lack of documentation, and
I'm hoping for non-getifaddrs() system support) - patch by Milos
Vyletel <milos.vyletel@gmail.com>
- no more K&R compiler support
version 8.1.20 (Apr 4, 2014):
- IPMI serial over LAN support via FreeIPMI - based on patch by Anton
D. Kachalov <mouse@yandex-team.ru>
- minor cleanup of code, removal of gcc warnings and such that should
have no fuctional change

reported by Chris Marget <chris@marget.com>

Zonker <consoleteam@gmail.com>
- fixed memory leak using timestamps - patch by Karvendhan M.
<Karvendhan.M@netapp.com>
- deprecated --with-cycladests (noop now) - cross-compilation should
work without it as autologin now expects setpgrp() to take two
arugments instead of testing for it
- no automatic checks for an empty password when using PAM
authentication - based on discussion with Ryan Kirkpatrick
<linux@rkirkpat.net>
- added 'sslcacertificatefile' and 'sslcacertificatepath' client
configuration options - based on patch by Aki Tuomi <cmouse@cmouse.fi>
- added 'sslcacertificatefile' and 'sslreqclientcert' server
configuration options
- added --with-req-server-cert to force clients to require a certificate
from the server when using SSL - based on emails with Thor Simon
<tls@coyotepoint.com>
- added server-side tasks (see conserver.cf man page) that are invoked
by the client (useful for things like IPMI-based power control of
servers, invoking resets of terminal server ports, or anything else
that requires scripting) - ideas from patch by Anton Lundin
<glance@acc.umu.se> and discussion on mailing list (2011)
- added 'confirm' option to break sequences
- added 'breaklist' option to limit exposure of break sequences to
consoles
- sending of break signals is now announced to all attached clients

once the active user drops read/write - suggested by Thomas Gardner

<ebiederm@aristanetworks.com>
- GSS-API patch (--with-gssapi) to help with Kerberos tokens - patch by
Nate Straz <nstraz@redhat.com>

<Andras.Horvath@cern.ch>
- various contrib/redhat-rpm fixes - patch by Fabien Wernli
<wernli@in2p3.fr>
- fix handling of read(stdin) returning -1 in console client - patch by
Ed Swierk <eswierk@arastra.com>

conserver requires it) and cleaned up a few other issues -

I've tried to send this patch upstream, but have yet to receive a response.
Bump package revision.
Version 8 of Conserver as a separate package as the config file
format of version 8 is incompatible with prior versions.
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
