Furthermore, - they must be `allow'ed to run ppp via the `allow' command in the - configuration file. - For a brief period, ppp could only be run as root. -o No diagnostic socket is created by default. The `set server' command - must be used. -o The diagnostic socket password must be specified *only* on the `set - server' command line. -o When `set server' is used to re-select a diagnostic port, all existing - diagnostic connections are dropped. -o pppd-deflate is now called deflate24. -o Filter IPs of 0.0.0.0 have a default width of 0, not 32. -o Errors in `add' and `delete' are logged as warnings rather than being - written to the TCP/IP log. -o Any number of diagnostic prompts are allowed, and they are allowed in - interactive mode. -o The default `device' is cuaa1, then cuaa0 -o A password of "*" in ppp.secret causes a passwd database lookup in - pap mode. -o The value of the CONNECT environment variable is logged in the - utmp host field in -direct mode. -o Out-of-sequence FSM packets (IPCP/LCP/CCP) are dropped by default. -o Reconnect values are used after an LQR timeout. -o ^C works on the parent in -background mode. -o The dial/call/open command works asynchronously. As a result, prompts - do not lose control while dialing. -o The `display' command has been removed. All information is available - with the appropriate `show' command. -o Msext does not need to be enabled/disabled. Setting the NBNS (set nbns) - will auto enable it. The DNS side may be enabled/disabled, and if - enabled without a `set dns' (was `set ns') will use values from - /etc/resolv.conf. -o Filters are now called `allow', `dial', `in' and `out'. `set - ifilter ...' becomes `set filter in ...' etc. -o Authname and Authkey may only be `set' in phase DEAD. -o Set encrypt is no longer necessary. Ppp will respond to M$CHAP - servers correctly if it's built with DES. -o Throughput statistics are enabled by default. -o `Set stopped' only has two parameters. It's no longer possible to - have an IPCP stopped timer. -o `Set timeout' only has one parameter. Use `set lqrperiod' and `set - {lcp,ccp,ipcp,chap,pap}retry' for the other timers. `show timeout' - is also now available using the relevant show commands. -o `set loopback' is now `enable/disable loopback'. -o `show auto', `show loopback' and `show mtu' are all part of `show bundle'. -o `show mru' is part of `show lcp' -o `show msext' and `show vj' are part of `show ipcp' -o `show reconnect' and `show redial' are part of `show link' -o A signal 15 (TERM) will now shut down the link gracefully. -o A signal 2 (HUP) will drop all links immediately. -o Signal 30 (USR1) is now ignored. -o Add & delete commands are not necessary in ppp.linkup if they are - `sticky routes' (ie, contain MYADDR or HISADDR). -o LINK and CARRIER logging are no longer available. -o Timer based DEBUG messages are now logged in the new TIMER log. -o Ppp can use tun devices > tun255. -o Protocol-compressed packets are accepted even if they were denied - at LCP negotiation time. -o Passwords aren't logged when logging the ``set server'' line. -o Command line options only need enough characters to uniquely identify - them. -a == -auto, -dd == -ddial etc. -interactive is also allowed. |
