[.....] This begs the question; how to people feel about the latest ppp sources going into -stable. It's undergone a *lot* of work, the main changes being the security model (now more flexible), deflate compression, M$ Chap (without hurting the release crunch stuff), lots of overflow bugs fixed, lots of routing table limits removed, random IP allocation and external chat(8) capabilities. Also, pppctl has command line editing, works with large routing tables and detects link termination properly. Most of these changes are `new features', so I don't know how people feel about bringing them into -stable. On the `bug' side, the main problem with ppp in RELENG_2_2 is that it doesn't implement the phase diagram from the rfc correctly. This results in a failure to hangup when talking to some peers. If ppp isn't wanted in -stable, I'll have to see if I can bring the phase fixes into RELENG_2_2 (this'll be a pain). Cheers. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
