and reverted by patches, some of them were already present in (now
removed) patches; plus:
- Changed the names of commands from adsl-* to pppoe-* to more logically
name the scripts.
- Make the userland pppoe daemon run as "nobody" if possible, once session
has started.
- Make userland pppoe program somewhat safe if it is installed SUID or
SGID. Note that I still do *NOT* recommend a SUID/SGID pppoe.
- Fix long-standing bug in pppoe-server that passed arguments to pppd in the
wrong order.
- 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.
- 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). Development of the relay agent was
funded by IBM Corporation.
- 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.
Furthermore a startup script for NetBSD 1.5 and newer was added.
- 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.
