This lets you use interfaces that don't start + with "eth" more easily. + + +Changes from Version 3.5 to 3.6: + +- Changed the names of commands from adsl-* to pppoe-* to more logically + name the scripts. NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY: + + OLD NAME NEW NAME + adsl-start pppoe-start + adsl-stop pppoe-stop + adsl-status pppoe-status + adsl-connect pppoe-connect + adsl-setup pppoe-setup + +- Changed sample firewall scripts to use iptables instead of the old ipchains + command. + +- Updated KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE instructions to reflect more modern pppd that + is commonly distributed. + +- 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. + +- Fix kernel-mode plugin. It was broken by changes to pppd. The pppd + maintainers fixed their version of the plugin, but neglected to inform me. + Thanks a lot, guys! + +- Make plugin accept argument of the form "nix-XXXX" to force it to use + device "XXXX" as the Ethernet interface. This allows the use of devices + whose names do not start with "eth" + + +Changes from Version 3.4 to 3.5: + +- Fixes for compilation on Solaris. + + +Changes from Version 3.3 to 3.4: + +- INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EARLIER VERSIONS: + Kernel-mode plugin now is built against latest CVS ppp source rather than + Michal Ostrowski's patched version. If you use kernel-mode PPPoE, you + MUST use the CVS version of the ppp source code with rp-pppoe 3.4. + +- Print PPPoE session number when connection terminates. Thanks to + Alexander Dalloz for suggesting this. + +- Fixed a bug in MSS clamping -- it now works with protocol-field compression. + Thanks to Gerd v. Egidy for the patch. + +- Ignore SIGINT and SIGTERM so LCP termination packets make it out. + + +Changes from Version 3.2 to 3.3: + +- Client works on Solaris again. It was broken in 3.2. + +- Added DEFAULTROUTE=yes|no option to configuration file. + +- Server parses address pool file better. + +- Server address pool allows ranges of addresses on a line: a.b.c.d-e + +- Added "-d" (=debug) and "-P" (=check pool file syntax) options to + pppoe-server. + + +Changes from Version 3.1 to 3.2: + +- Client now ignores PADT's if they are from the wrong source MAC address + or to the wrong destination MAC address. + +- Minor fixes to Makefile.in for Turbolinux. + + +Changes from Version 3.0 to 3.1: + +- Improved KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE instructions + +- Works with patched pppd 2.4.1 + +- Many improvements to server: Added "-u" and "-r" options; server can + now respond to request on multiple Ethernet interfaces. + +- SECURITY BUG FIX: Server now ignores PADT's if they are from the wrong + source MAC address. You are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to upgrade to 3.1 + if you use pppoe-server in production. + + +Changes from Version 2.8 to 3.0: + +- Many small improvements to server. Server now only makes one + discovery socket, systemwide, with addition of "-n" option to pppoe. + +- Fixes for compilation problems on BSD, Solaris and some Linux platforms. + +- Added "-p" option to pppoe-server to allow you to specify a pool of + IP addresses to assign to clients. + +- Added GUI system (tkpppoe). This work was funded by Iospan + Wireless, Inc. The GUI includes a Set-UID wrapper (pppoe-wrapper) + which allows ordinary users to control a link (if so authorized.) + I believe the wrapper script is secure, but please audit the + source code (gui/wrapper.c) if you have any concerns. + +- Changes to scripts and pppoe.conf. DNS setup is now dynamic (happens + each time adsl-connect runs.) + +- Made relay.c check packet lengths rigorously; made it throw out Ethernet + frame padding on session packets as well as discovery packets. + + +Changes from Version 2.7 to 2.8: + +- 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. + +*** NOTE: 2.7 was not released publicly + + +Changes from Version 2.6 to 2.7: + +- 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). + +- 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. + + +Changes from Version 2.5 to 2.6: + +- Code should now compile cleanly on Caldera and Slackware Linux + +- Fixed rp-pppoe.spec file to work on Mandrake and Red Hat. + +- Deleted some obsolete files + +- Fixed bug in Solaris/x86 port (thanks to Philippe Levan) + +- Made shell scripts nicer under Solaris (again, Philippe Levan) + +- Made adsl-status look under /var/run and /etc/ppp for PID files. Should + fix problems with NetBSD. + +- Added PPPD_EXTRA to pppoe.conf; made the PID file depend on the config + file name. This makes it easier to run multiple PPPoE sessions. + + +Changes from Version 2.4 to 2.5: + +- Tested for zero-length TCP option-length field, and for reverse-packing + of type/code bitfields. Thanks to Robert Schlabbach for pointing out + these problems. + +- Set umask to 077 in adsl-setup.in to protect created files like + /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. + + +Changes from Version 2.3 to 2.4: + +- Fixed spec file to automatically add .gz extension to man files as required + +- Tightened firewall rules. + +- Better check for /var/run in adsl-status; minor shell script fixes and + cleanups for NetBSD and Solaris. + +- Added FAQ to HOW-TO-CONNECT regarding running a script each time a + connection is made. + + +Changes from Version 2.2 to 2.3: + +- Fixed the init script to create/remove /var/lock/subsys/adsl (patch + courtesy of Charley Carter.) + +- Added support (under Linux) for N_HDLC line discipline which should + greatly reduce CPU usage. My tests show it cuts CPU usage in half. + My 486 DX2/66 gets 800 kb/s at 22% CPU usage. + +- adsl-connect uses "setsid" (if available) so that adsl-stop doesn't kill + its caller. There is (IMO) a bug in pppd which kills all processes in + its process group if the "pty" option is used. The setsid program gets + around this bug, on Linux at least. + +- Port to Solaris, courtesy of David Holland. + +- Renamed spec file from "spec" to "rp-pppoe.spec" and made some cleanups. + NOTE: Red Hat, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make the new RPM + compress man pages automatically. You may have problems building RPM's + from source unless you get the latest rpm package and make sure it + compresses man pages. + + +Changes from Version 2.1 to 2.2: + +- Added "-f" option to pppoe to allow use of any Ethernet frame type + for PPPoE. USE WITH CAUTION -- this is a workaround for broken DSL + providers, not something you should monkey with freely! + +- Added pppoe-sniff program to help expose non-standard PPPoE implementations. + + +Changes from Version 2.0 to 2.1: + +- Fixed minor bugs in bounds-checking + +- Modified adsl-status to use output of "netstat -r -n" to determine whether + or not link is up. This should make it independent of locale, I hope! + +- Added "-k" and "-d" options to pppoe. + + +Changes from Version 1.9 to 2.0: + +- 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. + + +Changes from Version 1.8 to 1.9: + +- Added some more documentation to HOW-TO-CONNECT + +- Demand-dialling option now works correctly + +- SIGHUP terminates pppoe after sending a PADT to the access concentrator + +- Minor cleanups to connection shell scripts + + +Changes from Version 1.7 to 1.8: + +- Added demand-dialling option + +- Clarified HOW-TO-CONNECT + +- Added adsl-status script + +- Added "restart" and "status" options to Red Hat /etc/rc.d/init.d/adsl script + +- Made adsl-setup check for existence of pppd + +- Wildcarded external interface in firewall rules + +- Made pppoe send a PADT frame if connection is terminated + +$Id$ |
