hubertf a26b957174 Update silc-server to 0.8.
Patches contributed by Lubomir Sedlacik <salo@Xtrmntr.org> in PR 15779

Changes from 0.7.9 to 0.8:
==========================

* Removed 0.6.x backwards support.
* Added `prefer_ipv6' argument to the functions
  silc_net_gethostbyname[_async].  If it is TRUE it will return
  IPv6 address over IPv4.  If FALSE IPv4 address is returned
  even if IPv6 address was found.
* Added support silc_net_create_connection[_async] to fallback
  to IPv4 address if IPv6 address could not be used (like if
  it doesn't work on a specific system).  Affected file in
* Added `user_count' to the SilcChannelEntry which now tells the
  number of users on the channel.  The user count is now saved
  in normal server of global channels as well.
* Added following new config file settings:
  channel_rekey_secs, key_exchange_rekey, key_exchange_pfs,
  key_exchange_timeout, conn_auth_timeout, connections_max,
  links_max.
  Implemented all the new config settings handling in the server.
  Optimized the use of SKE Mutual flag usage.  Use it only
  if connection authentication protocol is not based in public
  key authentication.
* Added new configuration options and blocks:
  keepalive_secs, reconnect_count, reconnect_interval,
  reconnect_interval_max, reconnect_keep_trying and
  require_reverser_lookup.  Added ConnectionParam block, and
  implemented the connection parameters when connecting as
  initiator and when accepting connections as responder.
* Splitted the doc/example_silcd.conf.in.  Separated the crypto
  algorithm parts and created new file silcalgs.conf, that
  is now included from the example_silcd.conf.in.
* Optimized the silc_server_connect_to_router_second to take
  the connection configuration object from the SilcServerConnection
  object instead of finding it during the connecting phase.
  Added the configuration object to SilcServerConnection struct.
* Fixed the public key authentication to allocate always the
  destination signature buffer instead of using static buffer.
* Added new Passphrase and Publickey authentication methods to
  config file, allowing both public key and passphrase based
  authentication to be set at the same time.
  Added `prefer_passphrase_auth' setting in config file which
  can be used to set to prefer passwd auth if both passwd and
  public key is set.  If not set, public key is preferred.
  This has effect only when being initiator (responder will try
  both anyway).
  Added support for authentication with passphrase and public key
  at the same time.  The passphrase is tried first always since
  it is faster to check.
* Merged the new SILC Config library, with the server parsing
  support.  Read the header file silcconfig.h or the toolkit
  documentation for the news.

$NetBSD: README,v 1.13 2001/12/03 21:33:56 agc Exp $

Welcome to the NetBSD Packages Collection
=========================================

In brief, the NetBSD Packages Collection is a set of software
utilities and libraries which have been ported to NetBSD.

The packages collection software can retrieve the software from its
home site, assuming you are connected in some way to the Internet,
verify its integrity, apply any patches, configure the software for
NetBSD, and build it.  Any prerequisite software will also be built
and installed for you.  Installation and de-installation of software
is managed by the packaging utilities.

The packages collection is made into a tar_file every week: 

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz

and you can sup the pkgsrc tree using the `pkgsrc' name for the
collection.

The pkgsrc tree is laid out in various categories, and, within that,
the various packages themselves.

You need to have root privileges to install packages.  We are looking
at ways to remove this restriction.

+ To install a package on your system, you need to change into the
directory of the package, and type "make install".

+ If you've made a mistake, and decided that you don't want that
package on your system, then type "pkg_delete <pkg-name>", or "make
deinstall" while in the directory for the package.

+ To find out all the packages that you have installed on your system,
type "pkg_info".

+ To remove the work directory, type "make clean", and "make
clean-depends" will clean up any working directories for other
packages that are built in the process of making your package.

+ Optionally, you can periodically run "make clean" from the top
level pkgsrc directory. This will delete extracted and built files,
but will not affect the retreived source sets in pkgsrc/distfiles.

+ You can set variables to customise the behaviour (where packages are
installed, various options for individual packages etc), by setting
variables in /etc/mk.conf.  The pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk gives
the defaults which are used in pkgsrc.  This file can be used as a
guide to set values in /etc/mk.conf - it is only necessary to set
values where they differ from the defaults.

The best way to find out what packages are in the collection is to
move to the top-level pkgsrc directory (this will usually be
/usr/pkgsrc), and type "make readme".  This will create a file called
README.html in the top-level pkgsrc directory, and also in all
category and package directories.  You can then see what packages are
available, along with a short (one-line) comment about the function of
the package, and a pointer to a fuller description, by using a browser
like lynx (see pkgsrc/www/lynx) or Mozilla (pkgsrc/www/mozilla), or
Communicator.  This is also available online as
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html.

Another way to find out what packages are in the collection is to
move to the top-level pkgsrc directory and type "make index". This
will create pkgsrc/INDEX which can be viewed via "make print-index | more".
You can also search for particular packages or keywords via
"make search key=<somekeyword>".

It is also possible to use the packaging software to install
pre-compiled binary packages by typing "pkg_add <URL-of-binary-pkg>". 
To see what binary packages are available, see:

	ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/<release>/<arch>/All/

where <release> is the NetBSD release, and <arch> is the hardware
architecture.

One limitation of using binary packages provided from ftp.netbsd.org
is that all mk.conf options were set to the defaults at compile time.
LOCALBASE, in particular, defaults to /usr/pkg, so non-X binaries
will be installed in /usr/pkg/bin, man pages will be installed in
/usr/pkg/man...

When a packaged tool has major compile time choices, such as support
for multiple graphic toolkit libraries, the different options may
be available as separate packages.

For more information on the packages collection see the file
Packages.txt file in the same place where you found this README,
usually in the top-level pkgsrc dir.
