I have put a ppp-2.4.0 release on linuxcare.com.au. The URL is ftp://linuxcare.com.au/pub/ppp/ppp-2.4.0.tar.gz. As of this release, I have fixed quite a few of the bugs that people have emailed me about in the last 6 months. If your favourite bug is still in there, let me know. The 2.4.0 release only contains Linux, Solaris and SunOS support. The other ports have been left out for lack of maintainers. This release doesn't contain the Linux kernel driver; the kernel driver in the current 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernel releases is up to date. The IPV6 support in this release has been relicensed by the author under a BSD-style license instead of the GPL, because the GPL is incompatible with the BSD-style license that the rest of the code is under. New features in 2.4.0 (compared to 2.3.11) include: * Preliminary multilink support. * Putting "@login" for the secret field in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets now means that the peer has to authenticate against the login database, whether or not the login option is used. This provides a workaround for the security hole which exists if you put in a line with a null secret in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. * There is a hook for a plugin to choose the remote IP address, ip_choose_hook. * Pppd creates a database of connections, called /var/run/pppd.tdb. Bugs fixed in this release include: * The allow-ip option should work correctly now. * The wrong behaviour of nodefaultip has been corrected. -- Paul Mackerras, Senior Open Source Researcher, Linuxcare, Inc. +61 2 6262 8990 tel, +61 2 6262 8991 fax [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.linuxcare.com.au/ Linuxcare.
