use cli_error() for error messages and help

[l2tpns.git] / Changes

* Mon May 2 2005 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.1.0
- Add IPv6 support from Jonathan McDowell.
- Add CHAP support from Jordan Hrycaj (work in progress).
- Sanity check that cluster_send_session is not called from a child
  process.
- Throttle outgoing LASTSEEN packets to at most one per second for a
  given seq#.
- More DoS prevention: add packet_limit option to apply a hard limit
  to downstream packets per session.
- Use bounds-checking lookup functions for string constants.
- Add enum for RADIUS codes.
- Make "call_" prefix implict in CSTAT() macro.
- Fix some format string problems.
- Fix "clear counters".
- Log "Accepted connection to CLI" at 4 when connection is from localhost
  to reduce noise in logs.
- Show time since last counter reset in "show counters".
- Remove "save_state" option.  Not maintained anymore; use clustering
  to retain state across restarts.
- Ensure that sessionkill is not called on an unopened session (borks
  the freelist).
- Bump MAXSESSION to 60K.
- Fix off-by-one errors in session/tunnel initialisation and
  sessiont <-> sessionidt functions.
- Use session[s].opened consistently when checking for in-use sessions
  (rather than session[s].tunnel).
- Use <= cluster_highest_sessionid rather than < MAXSESSION in a
  couple of loops.
- Don't kill a whole tunnel if we're out of sessions.
- Change session[s].ip to 0 if set from RADIUS to 255.255.255.254;
  avoids the possibility that it will be interpreted as a valid IP
  address.
- Avoid a possible buffer overflow in processpap.
- Kill session if authentication was rejected.
- Simplify AVP unhiding code.
- Add optional "username" parameter to ungarden control, allowing the
  username to be reset before going online.
- Add result/error codes and message to StopCCN when shutting down tunnels.
- Add result/error codes to CDN when shutting down sessions.  Sends 2/7
  (general error, try another LNS) when out of IP addresses, and 3
  (adminstrative) for everything else (suggestion from Chris Gates).
- Only send RADIUS stop record in sessionshutdown when there's an ip address.
- Reset .die on master takeover (so that dying sessions don't have to
  hang around until the new master has the same uptime as the old one).
- Update .last_packet in cluster_handle_bytes only when there have
  been bytes received from the modem (dead sessions were having the
  idle timeout reset by stray packets).
- Use cli_error() for error messages and help.

* Fri Dec 17 2004 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.13
- Better cluster master collision resolution: keep a counter of state
  changes, propagated in the heartbeats; the master with the highest #
  of changes (that has kept in contact with the LAC through the
  outage) prevails.
- Skip newlines in ringbuffer messages to CLI.
- Drop "Session N is closing" message level to 4; don't process PPPIP
  packets in this state.
- Use gzip --best for man pages, include pid_file in sample
  startup-config (from Jonathan's Debian package patches).
- Read multiple packets off cluster_sockfd as well as udpfd, tunfd in an
  attempt to avoid losing the cluster in high load (DoS) conditions.
- Add counters for select_called, multi_read_used and multi_read_exceeded.
- Compress logs.
- Retain counters of shutdown sessions to dump once per minute.
- Use standard uintN_t types for portability.

* Wed Dec 1 2004 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.12
- The "This time, for sure!" release.
- Fix throttlectl plugin argument parsing.

* Wed Dec 1 2004 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.10
- Fix byte ordering of LCP header length (thanks Yuri).
- Increase ip_conntrack_max due to dropped packets.

* Tue Nov 30 2004 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.9
- Revise CCP, send ConfigReq once only.
- Don't copy the old buffer into Config{Nak,Rej} LCP responses (oops);
  add length checks when appending.
- Do copy the identifier from the request and update length.
- Have makeppp print a backtrace on overflow.
- Check control serial before clearing window, prevents looping tunnel
  setup in some instances.
- Implement named access-lists which may be applied to a session
  either via Filter-Id RADIUS responses, or using the CLI.
- Drop ip address from LOG.
- autothrottle: revise parsing; ignore lcp:interface-config avpairs
  which don't start with serv[ice-policy].
- Add THANKS file.

* Sat Nov 20 2004 Brendan O'Dea <bod@optusnet.com.au> 2.0.8
- Ignore gateway address in Framed-Route (from Jonathan McDowell).
- Don't route Framed-IP-Address if contained in a Framed-Route.
- Call sessionshutdown() when a tunnel is dropped rather than
  sessionkill() to ensure that RADIUS stop records are sent.
- Cleanup: make a bunch of global functions/variables static.
- Remove reference to old -a command line argument.
- Add l2tpns(8) and nsctl(8) manpages from Jonathan McDowell.

  tolerant
- Add internal tbf implementation for throttling without relying on tc and
  kernel HTB

  instead of TAP.
