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 cuad1, then cuad0 -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$CHAP - servers correctly if it's built with DES. -o Throughput statistics are enabled by default. -o `Set stopped' only has two parameters. It's no longer possible to - have an IPCP stopped timer. -o `Set timeout' only has one or two parameters. Use `set lqrperiod' and - `set {lcp,ccp,ipcp,chap,pap}retry' for the other timers. These timeout - values can be seen using the relevant show commands. -o `set loopback' is now `enable/disable loopback'. -o `show auto', `show loopback' and `show mtu' are all part of `show bundle'. -o `show mru' is part of `show lcp' -o `show msext' and `show vj' are part of `show ipcp' -o `show reconnect' and `show redial' are part of `show link' -o A signal 15 (TERM) will now shut down the link gracefully. -o A signal 2 (HUP) will drop all links immediately. -o Signal 30 (USR1) is now ignored. -o Add & delete commands are not necessary in ppp.linkup if they are - `sticky routes' (ie, contain MYADDR or HISADDR). -o LINK and CARRIER logging are no longer available. -o Timer based DEBUG messages are now logged in the new TIMER log. -o Ppp can use tun devices > tun255. -o Protocol-compressed packets are accepted even if they were denied - at LCP negotiation time. -o Passwords aren't logged when logging the ``set server'' line. -o Command line options only need enough characters to uniquely identify - them. -a == -auto, -dd == -ddial etc. -interactive is also allowed. -o If you don't like seeing additional interface aliases when running in - -auto -alias mode, add ``iface clear'' to your ppp.linkdown file - - check the sample file. -o Ppp waits for 1 second before checking whether the device supports - carrier. This is controllable with ``set cd''. -o Random dial timeouts are now between 1 and 30 seconds inclusive rather - than between 0 and 29. -o Ppp now accepts M$CHAP (as well as normal CHAP) by default. If this - is not required, you must ``deny chap05 chap80''. -o The ``set device'' command now expects each device to be specified as an - argument rather than concatentating all arguments and splitting based - on commas and spaces. -o The ``show modem'' command is deprecated and has been changed to - ``show physical''. -o The words ``host'' and ``port'' are no longer accepted by the ``set filter'' - command. Removing them should yield the same results as before. -o The ``set weight'' command has been deprecated. The ``set bandwidth'' - command should now be used instead. -o The ``set autoload'' command syntax and implementation have changed as the - old implementation was mis-designed and dysfunctional. -o Ppp now waits either the full ``set cd'' time or until carrier is detected - before running the login script (whichever comes first). -o The -alias flag has been deprecated. The -nat flag should be used instead. -o Unbalanced quotes in commands are now warned about and the entire command - is ignored. -o It is now only necessary to escape the `-' character in chat scripts twice. - See the example files for details. -o Environment variables and ~ are expanded on in commands -o ``nat pptp'' is no longer necessary as this is now done transparently -o The ``!'' at the start of chat scripts and authkey can be made literal - (rather than meaning execute) by doubling it to ``!!''. -o MP autoload throughput measurements are now based on the maximum of input - and output averages rather than on the total. -o When only one link is open in MP mode, MP link level compression is not - open and the peer MRU >= the peer MRRU, ppp sends outbound traffic as - PROTO_IP traffic rather than PROTO_MP. -o MSCHAPv2 is now accepted by default. If you don't wish to negotiate - this, you must explicitly deny it. -o MPPE is enabled and accepted by default (although deflate and predictor1 - are preferred. |
