fixed setting of NAT timeouts and use different timeouts for concurrent
TCP sessions using the same IP# mapping (when port mapping isn't used)

Attempt to use in_proto.c.diff, not "..diffs" for SunOS4 - David Wilson
(davidw@optimation.com.au)

Michael Ryan (mike@NetworX.ie) reports the following:
* The Trumpet WinSock under Windows always sends its SYN packet with an ACK
  value of 1, unlike any other implementation I've seen, which would set it
  to zero.  The "keep state" feature of IP Filter doesn't work when receiving
  non-zero ACK values on new connection requests.

"ipnat -l | ipnat -rf -" is possible.

3.1.0beta	30/6/96 - Released

NetBSD-1.2 patches from Greg Woods (woods@most.weird.com)

patches for removing an extra ip header checksum (FreeBSD/NetBSD/SunOS)

removed trailing space from printouts of rules in ipf.

ipresend supports the same range of inputs that ipftest does.

sending a duplicate copy of a packet to another network devices is now
supported. ("dup-to")

sending a packet to an arbitary interface is now supported, irrespective
of its actual route, with no ttl decrement.  Can also be routed without
the ttl being decremented. ("to" and "fastroute").

matched.

show all (upto 4) recorded bytes from the interface name in logging from
ipmon.

support for using unix file permissions for read/write access on the device
is now in place.

recursive mutex in nat_new() for Solaris 2.x - Per L. Hagen <per@stibo.dk>

ipftest doesn't call initparse() for THISHOST - Catherine Allen

Man pages for ipnat.4, ipnat.5 added.

added some more regression tests and fixed up IP Filter to pass the new tests
(previous versions failed some of the tests in set 12).

IP option filter processing has changed so that saying "with opt lsrr" will
check only for that one, but not mask out other options, so a packet with
strict source routing, along with loose source routing will match all of
"with opt lsrr", "with opt ssrr" and "with opt lsrr,ssrr".

IPL_NAME needed in ipnat.c - Kelly (kelly@count04.mry.scruznet.com)

redirection with NAT - Mike Neuman

Julian Briggs (julian@lightwork.co.uk)

Byte order patches for ipmon from Tony Becker (tony@mcrsys.com)

3.0beta2 7/1/96

Added the (somewhat warped) IP accounting as it exists in ipfw on FreeBSD.
Note, this isn't really what one would call IP account, when compared to
process accounting, sigh.

Split up ipresend into iptest/ipresend/ipsend

Added another m_pullup() inside fr_check() for BSD style kernels and
added some checks to ipllog() to not log more than is present (for short
packets).

Fixed bug where failed hostname/netname resolution goes undetecte and
becomes 0.0.0.0 (any) (reported Guido van Rooij)

3.0beta	11/11/95	- Released

Rewrote the way rule testing is done, reducing the number of files needed and
generated.

SIOCIPFFL was incorrectly affected by IPFILTER_LOG (Mathew Green)

Patches from Guido van Rooij to fix sending back TCP RSTs on Net-2/Net-3
BSD based Unixes (panic'd)

Patches for FreeBSD/i86 ipmon from Riku Kalinen <riku@tequila.nixu.fi>
(I think someone else already told me about these but they got lost :-/)

Changed Makefile structure to build object files for different operating
systems in separate directories by default.

BSDI has ef0 for first ethernet interface

Allow for a "not" operator before optional keywords.

The "rule number" was being incorrectly incremented every time it went through
the loop rather than when it matched a rule.

2.8.2	24/10/95	- Released

Fixed up problems with "textip" for doing lots of testing.

Fixed bug in detection of "short" tcp/ip packets (all reported as being short).

Patches for fixing up compilation and port problems (little endian)
from Guido van Rooij <guido@IAEhv.nl>.

ipsend doesn't compile properly on Solaris2.4

Lots of work done for Solaris2.4 to make it MT/MP safe and work.

2.8	15/9/95		- Released

ipmon can now send messages to syslogd (-s) and use names instead of
numbers (-N).

IP packets are now "compiled" into a structure only containing filterable
bits.

Added regression testing in the test/ subdirectory, using a new option
(-b) with the ipftest program.

Added "nomatch" return to filter results.  These are counted and show
up in reports from ipfstat.

Moved filter code out of ip_fil.c and into fil.c - there is now only one
instance of it in the package.

Added Solaris 2.4 support.

Added IPSO basic security option filtering.

Added name support for filtering on all 19 named IP options.

Patches from Ivan Brawley to log packet contents as well as packet headers.

Update for sun/conf.c.diff from Ivan Brawley <ibrawley@awadi.com.AU>

Added patches for FreeBSD 1, and added two new switches (-E, -D) to ipf,
along with a new ioctl, SIOCFRENB.
From: Dieter Dworkin Muller <dworkin@village.org>

2.7.3	31/7.95		- Released

Didn't compile cleanly without IPFILTER_LOG defined (Mathew Green).

ipftest now deals with tcpdump3 binary output files (from libpcap) with -P.

Brought ipftest program upto date with actual filter code.

Filter would cause a match to occur when it wasn't meant to if the packet
had short headers and was missing portions that should have been there.
Err, it would rightly not match on them, but their absence caused a match
when it shouldn't have been.

2.7.2	26/7/95		- Released

Problem with filtering just SYN flagged packets reported by
Dieter Dworkin Muller <dworkin@village.org>.  To solve this
problem, added support for masking TCP flags for comparison "flags X/Y".

2.7.1	9/7/95		- Released

Added ip_dirbroadcast support for Sun ip_input.c

Fixed up the install scripts for FreeBSD/NetBSD to recognise where they are
better.

2.7	7/7/95		- Released

Added "return-rst" to return TCP RST's to TCP packets.

Actually ported it to FreeBSD-i386 2.0.0, so it works there properly now.

Added insertion of filter rules.  Use "@<#>" at the beginning of a filter
to insert a rule at row #.

Filter keeps track of how many times each rule is matched.

Changed compile time things to match kernel option (IPFILTER_LKM &
IPFILTER_LOG).

Updated ip_input.c and ip_output.c with paches for 3.5 Multicast IP.
(No change required for 3.6)

Now includes TCP fragments which start inside the TCP header as being short.
Added counting the number of times each rule is matched.


2.6	11/5/95		- Released

Added -n option to ipf: when supplied, no changes are made to the kernel.

Added installation scripts for SunOS 4.1.x and NetBSD/FreeBSD/BSDI.

Rewrote filtering to use a more generic mask & match procedure for
checking if a packet matches a rule.

2.5.2	27/4/95		- Released

"tcp/udp" and a non-initialised pointer caused the "proto" to become
a `random' value; added "ip#/dotted.mask" notation to the BNF.
From Adam W. Feigin  <feigin@iis.ee.ethz.ch>

2.5.1	22/3/95		- Released

"tcp/udp" had a strange effect (undesired) on getserv*() functions,
causing protocol/service lookups to fail.  Reported by Matthew Green.

2.5	17/3/95		- Released

Added a new keyword "all" to BNF and parsing of tcpdump/etherfind/snoop
output through the ipftest program.  Suggestions from:
Michael Ciavarella (mikec@phyto.apana.org.au)

Conflicts occur when "general" filter rules are used for ports and the
lack of a "proto" when used with "port" matches other packets when only
TCP/UDP are implied.
Reported Matthew Green (mrg@fulcom.com.au);
reported & fixed 6-8/3/95

Added filtering of short TCP packets using "with short" 28/2/95
(These can possibly slip by checks for the various flags).  Short UDP
or ICMP are dropped to the floor and logged.

Added filtering of fragmented packets using "with frag" 24/2/95

Port to NetBSD-current completed 20/2/95, using LKM.

Added logging of the rule # which caused the logging to happen and the
interface on which the packet is currently as suggested by
Andreas Greulich (greulich@math-stat.unibe.ch) 10/2/95

2.4	9/2/95		- Released
Fixed saving of IP headers in ICMP packets.

2.3	29/1/95
Added ipf -F [in|out|all] to flush filter rule sets (SIOCIPFFL).
Fixed iplread() and iplsave() with help from Marc Huber.

2.2	7/1/95		- Released
Added code from Marc Huber <huber@fzi.de> to allow it to allocate
its own major char number dynamically when modload'ing.  Fixed up
use of <, >, <=, >= and >< for ports.

2.1	21/12/94	- Released
repackaged to include the correct ip_output.c and ip_input.c *goof*

2.0	18/12/94	- Released
added code to check for port ranges - complete.
rewrote to work as a loadable kernel module - complete.

1.1
added code for ouput filtering as well as input filtering and added support for logging to a simple character device of packet headers.

1.0	22/04/93	- Released
First release cut.
