12/31/02 - v.1.3.22-pl4
Peter Poeml <poeml@suse.de> submitted patches to:
1. enable support for Token Ring.
2. disable second DHCP_DISCOVER message. S.V - added "-S" option to dhcpcd command
line to make second DHCP_DISCOVER message optional.
3. Make dhcpcd write to the console if syslogd is not running only with
"-d" DebugFlag.
Robert Whaley <rwhaley@applieddata.net> submitted patch to elimited potential
race condition between setting up the setjmp for dhcpReboot and the sigalarm handler.
Ian Sharpe <ian.sharpe@sharpe-practice.co.uk> submitted patch to handle situations
with DHCP server changing lease or T1,T2 times from renewal to renewal.
Jamey Hicks <jamey.hicks@hp.com> pointed out the setting of the netmask for
static route still doesn't always work correctly. Wrote "getgenmask" function
to try to deduce the netmask for static routes - S.V.
Per-Olof Pettersson <peope@peope.net> suggested "-G" option to prevent
dhcpcd from installing default routes. Expanded "-G" to include optional
[gateway] parameter for ip address of default router - S.V. The "-G" option
has also been added by Peter Poeml <poeml@suse.de> in one of the patches he sent.
S.V.- moved parts of the code from client.c into cache.c and dhcpconfig.c files.
09/29/02 - v.1.3.22-pl3
Duke Cho <duke@embeddedweb.co.kr> submitted patch for dhcpSendAndRecv() to scan
for begining of IP header in the received Ethernet frame rather than assume
it begins right after Ethernet header. It made dhcpcd work for ARM7TDMI cored SoC
boards.
Marc Beuchat <marc@siana.ch> submitted patch to open 0,1,2 file descriptors
at the start of dhcpcd if they are closed as in a case when dhcpcd starts from
pcmcia-cs network script.
09/21/02 - v.1.3.22-pl2
James Hicks <Jamey.Hicks@hp.com> submitted patch to set the netmask properly
for static routes provided by the DHCP server.
Michal Dobes <dobes@tesnet.cz> pointed out there could be situation with
many dhcpcd clients starting at the same time on different machines on the
same network in which case they will generate the DHCP messages with the
same XID and potentially configure the same IP addresses. Fixed by
including CLientHwAddr (MAC address) into the seed for srandom(). -S.V.
David Fallon <davef@d2.com> recomended changing sbindir to = ${exec_prefix}/sbin
rather than ${prefix} in Makefile.am. Also changed docdir=/usr/doc. -S.V.
Henning Spruth <henning.spruth@epost.de> suggested replacing
getuid() call with geteuid() in dhcpcd.c to enable setuid tools
to launch dhcpcd.
David Oleszkiewicz <davole@us.ibm.com> pointed out "logger" should
be used in dhcpcd.exe script instead of direct write to a log files.
Tobias Blomberg <tobias.blomberg@home.se> pointed out to a bug report at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65515
what appears to be dhcpcd cache overriding command line options -I and -i.
The related problem has been also reported by Øyvind Bakksjø
<oyvind@bakksjo.no>. Fixed by calling clientIDsetup and classIDsetup
even after successfull cache read.
Kosbar, Kurt Louis <kosbar@umr.edu> submitted patch to fix a case of
dhcpcd client crash because of some DHCP server sending no dhcpMessageType
field in DHCP message.
Simon Kelley <simon@thekelleys.org.uk> pointed out at security bug in dhcpcd
related to *.info file. A malicios administrator of untrusted DHCP server
may execute any command with root privileges on DHCP client machine by
sending the command enclosed in shell metacharacters in one of DHCP server
provided options. Fixed by enclosing all strings in *.info file into single
quotes and replacing any single quotes found in DHCP option strings
with space. - S.V.
01/20/02 - v.1.3.22-pl1
S.V. - added support for virtual interfaces (eth0:1, eth1:2, etc)
inside dhcpcd itself. The "external" support (with external script
using *.info file) has been added in v.1.3.22-pl0.
01/19/02 - v.1.3.22-pl0
Scott Gifford <sgifford@tir.com> and Victor McSmith <vmcs@mail.ru>
suggested letting custom scripts instead of dhcpcd do all the
interface configuration work using DHCP info secured by dhcpcd
and stored in the *.info file.
Pramod Immaneni <pramod@aligo.com> suggested adding -L option to
dhcpcd to enable writing configuration information into a given *.info
file to be later used by other scripts. He also suggested modifying
-T option to save configuration information rather than just exiting after
DHCP negotiation sequence.
S.V. - the above proposals inspired the following changes to dhcpcd:
1. "-L <ConfigDir>" option has been added. Dhcpcd will store *.info,
*.cache files under <ConfigDir> rather than default /etc/dhcpc.
2. *.pid file has moved from under /var/run to under <ConfigDir>
(default /etc/dhcpc) subdirectory.
3. -T option behaviour has been modified to include writing
*.info, *.cache, *.pid files under <ConfigDir>, and executing
*.exe script in the same manner as without -T option.
Now with -T option dhcpcd will do everything except actually
configuring interface or changing any files under /etc.
Also now with -T option dhcpcd will not exit at the end of DHCP
negotiation sequence but will go into background and attempt
to renew the lease as usual.
-T option in conjunction with -L <ConfigDir> and -I <ClientID> will
enable users to negotiate/renew multiple IP addresses using the same
dummy interface.
It should also enable configuration of virtual interfaces.
4. <ConfigDir>/dhcpcd.exe script calling convention has changed. Now
dhcpcd will pass the path to *.info file as first argument and "up/down/new"
keyword as second argument. The third argument is optional
debugFlag "-d" passed from dhcpcd command line. See sample dhcpcd.exe
script supplied with distribution.
5. "-c <ExecFile>" option has been given second life and its behaviour
has slightly changed. Now <ExecFile> script will be executed instead of
default <ConfigDir>/dhcpcd.exe and in the same manner as
<ConfigDir>/dhcpcd.exe script (see Item 4 above).
6. The following lines has been added to *.info file written by
dhcpcd:
INTERFACE=<interface> (e.g. INTERFACE=eth1)
CLASSID=<class_id_string> (e.g. CLASSID="Linux 2.4.14 i686")
CLIENTID=<client_id_string> (e.g. CLIENT_ID=10:32:C3:37:25:14 or
CLIENT_ID="test1")
7. dhcpcd now will rename previous *.info file to *.info.old
Other changes:
Tim Wright <timw@polyserve.com> submitted patch to prevent dhcpcd
from altering network interface flags that it should not change.
Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> submitted patch to dhcpcd.spec file
to fix the installation directories.
Tim Goodwin <tjg@star.le.ac.uk> suggested using full-qualified
host names rather than truncating them at first ".".
12/31/01 - v.1.3.21-pl2
D. Hugh Redelmeier <hugh@mimosa.com> pointed out a problem with
binding udpFooSocket in client.c to address 0.0.0.0 port 68 and
exiting with error status if binding fails as in a case of more
than one dhcpcd process. This effectively prevented dhcpcd from
running on more than one interface. Fixed for now by disabling
error exit in a case udpFooSocket binding fails. Perhaps a better
solution is needed.
Thomas Aeby <tomae@sfi.ch> pointed out nisDomainName should not
be used in /etc/resolv.conf file. Fixed.
Roger Maclean <rmaclean@marchnetworks.com> suggested to increase
"time since bootup" parameter in DHCP message to 10, otherwise
dhcpcd may not get an IP address from WinNT DHCP server.
Jani Averbach <jaa@cc.jyu.fi> suggested changes to Makefile.am to
make ./configure accept installation options.
Yaacov Akiba Slama <slamaya@yahoo.com> submitted a patch to make use
dhcp-spoof feature of adsl modems/routers. The patch sets netmask to
255.255.255.255 in a case the dhcpConfig routine fails to set it to
the netmask supplied by DHCP server.
10/13/01 - v.1.3.21-pl1
Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> submitted patch for dhcpcd.spec.in
file to fix "rpm -ta dhcpcd-1.3.21-pl1.tar.gz" RPM package creation.
10/11/01 - v.1.3.21-pl0
Toralf Lund <toralf@kscanners.com> submitted patch to add
support for NIS and NTP server options in DHCP. -Y and -N
flags have been added to dhcpcd command line. Dhcpcd now creates
/etc/yp.conf and /etc/ntp.conf files unless -Y or -N
options are specified (see dhcpcd manual page). Among other things
in the patch: dhcpcd saves the hostname and domainname of the host
and restores it upon exit; dhcpcd now retries HWADDR_TRIES times
to retrieve NIC MAC address in dhcpStart().
Jarno Huuskonen <Jarno.Huuskonen@uku.fi> pointed out
dhcpcd sets mode of the pid file corresponding to the umask of
the calling process which may be a security risk if calling
process has umask 000 which happens when dhcpcd runs from APM
suspend/resume. Fixed by setting umask of dhcpcd process to 022 at
the very beginning in dhcpcd.c.
Olivier Baudron <Olivier.Baudron@ens.fr> suggested using just one
dhcpcd.exe script, which is to run every time interface is
configured or brought down. The interface name will be passed as
first parameter and configuration state as second parameter to the
script. So /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd.exe script is invoked as
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd.exe <interface> <up|down|new> [ip_address] [-d]
Second parameter has value "up" when interface is brought up with
the same IP address as before, "new" when interface is brought up
with new IP address, and "down" when interface is brought down when
dhcpcd exits. This usage to the executable script was suggested by
Scott Gifford <sgifford@tir.com>.
**** This version requires rewrite of dhcpcd*.exe script(s) as it is
incompatible with previous versions of dhcpcd.
10/08/01 - v.1.3.20-pl2
Fabrizio Gennari <fabrizio.gennari@philips.com> reported
dhcpcd could not add a static route supplied by his DHCP server. He suggested
changing a line in client.c
rtent.rt_flags = RTF_UP|RTF_HOST;
to
rtent.rt_flags = RTF_UP|RTF_HOST|RTF_GATEWAY;
which fixed the problem for him. I will give it a shot .. with RoadRunner
no matter how much you screw dhcpcd, it always works ..
Simon Oliver <simon.oliver@umist.ac.uk> reported an interesting case
of DHCP server supplying dhcpAddrLeaseTime>0 and dhcpT1value=0 and
dhcpT2value=0 which made dhcpcd go mad about lease renewal. Fixed by
checking for dhcpT1value=0 and dhcpT2value=0 in client.c
10/04/01 - v.1.3.20-pl1
Matteo Frigo <athena@fftw.org> pointed out to a bug in client.c:
in a case of class A network and DHCP server not supplying subnet mask
dhcpcd did not zero out second octet in subnet mask.
Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com> submitted patches:
1. dhcpcd to accept IEEE 802 TokenRing interface (not sure if this one
will actually make dhcpcd work with TokenRing, since
dhcpcd builds messages on top of Ethernet frames)
2. make some globally defined variables to be local
3. use nis domain name along with dns domain name in search string of
/etc/resolv.conf file.
4. run a script when interface gets configured in addition to
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe script which runs only when IP address
changes. S.V. - made the script name /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd_up-eth0.exe
S.V - make dhcpcd run a script when interface goes down; the script is
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd_down-eth0.exe. This was also suggested by
Jason Bodnar <jbodnar@buzzard.kdi.com>
Craig Lawson <craig.lawson@symphony-systems.com> pointed out to a bug
in dhcpcd when it runs on multiple interfaces. When dhcpcd exits
it tries to restore resolv.conf.sv back to resolv.conf even if
dhcpcd did not rename it at first. Fixed.
Olivier Baudron <Olivier.Baudron@ens.fr> submitted patch to bind a
datagram socket to udp port 68 to prevent icmp error message from
the kernel. This problem has also been reported by Robert Paluszak
<paluszak@nycap.rr.com>.
S.V.- cleaned up "configure" scripts to make sure ./configure will
create the Makefile with correct installation paths.
04/06/01 - v.1.3.20-pl0
S.V - removed 0x0 from ClientID and ClassID options
04/03/01 - v.1.3.19-pl9
Young, Jeremy <jeremy.young@cccnetsys.com> pointed out
to a bug introduced in v.1.3.19-pl6 which resulted in
7-byte long MAC address with 0x0 at the end. Fixed.
03/10/01 - v.1.3.19-pl8
Rune Torgersen <rune36@home.com> pointed out
at a bug introduced in v.1.3.19-pl7 with "rootPath"
option. The dhcpParamRequest had to be changed to 14.
The bug probably disabled "-h hostname" option to dhcpcd
in v.1.3.19-pl7.
02/22/01 - v.1.3.19-pl7
Chris Petro <petro@auctionwatch.com>
submitted patch to disable processing of
"routersOnSubnet" DHCP option if it is not
provided by DHCP server, as "routersOnSubnet" is
indeed optional.
Jason A. Pattie <pattieja@pcxperience.com>
submitted patch to include "rootPath" DHCP option.
Peter Poeml <poeml@suse.de> submitted patch
to work around a problem with dhcpcd setting
hostname when it is not provided by DHCP server if
there is no initial /etc/resolv.conf file to
be able to resolv hostname from obtained IP address.
01/14/01 - v.1.3.19-pl6
Simon Byrnand <sbyrnand@xtra.co.nz> reported the compilation
on older kernels broke again somewhere in pl3-pl5.
Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> submitted patch to fix the
problem with compilation on older kernels.
S.V - added 0x0 to the end of ClientID and ClassID
options in the DHCP message.
12/21/00 - v.1.3.19-pl5
Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> submitted patch for:
README:
- Mention that MediaOne is now AT&T Broadband. dhcpcd works with it.
Makefile.am:
- Copy the binary dhcpcd to the distribution. Added a comment about
the dist-hook target.
configure.in:
- Remove AC_CANONICAL_TARGET - dhcpcd is not a compiler.
- Don't check Linux version - it can be determined at the compile time.
- Don't call uname directly - rely on the results of
AC_CANONICAL_HOST instead.
- Don't ever ignore predefined CFLAGS.
client.c:
- Include <linux/version.h>
- Define OLD_LINUX_VERSION for kernels older than 2.1.1.
The patch is also available here:
http://www.red-bean.com/~proski/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-pl4.diff
12/19/00 - v.1.3.19-pl4
Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
submitted patch to work around broken version of automake
which was used in generating v.1.3.19-pl3. Also
dhcpcd-1.3.19-pl4.tar.gz has been generated using
"make distcheck". Note that pl4 does not include pre-compiled
binary so if you need one, get dhcpcd-1.3.19-pl3.tar.gz
12/15/00 - v.1.3.19-pl3
Nico Baggus <nico_baggus@compuserve.com>
- added version checking to the cache file
- added support for specifying window size for the
gateway routes (default = 32768) (gives better throughput
when used for Cablenetworks...;-)
- modified defining the offsets in the ipudphdr & ipicmphdr
to get the stuff through gcc 2.96
Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
Makefile.am:
- Manuals and examples added to EXTRA_DIST
- dhcpcd.spec added to the distribution.
- dhcpcd.spec is now rebuilt by "make all".
- "make rpm" depends on "make distcheck" and uses the dhcpcd.conf
embedded into the tarball.
config.guess:
- Updated to the latest version. PA-Linux team will appreciate it.
config.sub:
- Likewise.
configure.in:
- Versioning simplified to ensure the right tarball name.
Removed dash from the patchlevel to accomodate rpm.
- Avoid square brackets or quote them properly.
dhcpcd.spec.in:
- Substitute "Source".
- "BuildRoot" should be under /var/tmp, not /usr/tmp.
- Don't use filelists - it breaks with rpm-3.0.5 that compresses
manuals.
- Include directory /etc/dhcpc.
- Exclude dhcpcd.spec.in from docs.
- Include any *.lsm file.
missing:
- Updated to avoid problems with future versions of automake.
10/11/00 - v.1.3.19-pl2
Nils Ohlmeier <nils.ohlmeier@innominate.de> and
Warren Jones <wjones@tc.fluke.com> rightfully pointed out
nisDomainName should not be used in resolv.conf file.
Fixed.
08/05/00 - v.1.3.19-pl1
Simon Byrnand <sbyrnand@xtra.co.nz> submitted patches to make
ioctl(dhcpSocket,SIOCSIFADDR,&ifr) call in dhcpStop() routine
applicable only to kernels versions > 2.0 and
to fix handling of SIGCHLD signal.
08/05/00 - v.1.3.19-pl0
Lenz Grimmer <grimmer@suse.de> submitted patch to prevent
"unaligned memory access" warnings to appear on IA64-based systems.
08/05/00 - v.1.3.18-pl9
uncommented ioctl(dhcpSocket,SIOCSIFADDR,&ifr) call in dhcpStop()
routine to prevent an interface from having invalid IP address
during DHCP negotiation.
Simon Byrnand <sbyrnand@xtra.co.nz> submitted patch to take
care of the following:
o Make dhcpcd both libc5 and glibc compatible
o Rebind dhcpSocket after change in IP address to avoid
problem with 2.0 kernel losing socket binding to the interface
after resetting of the interface
o Problem with lost DhcpRelease message under 2.0 kernel
when interface gets shut down
Brian K. White <linut@squonk.net> submitted "Note 4." to the
README file.
05/10/00 - v.1.3.18-pl8
Konstantin Boldyshev <konst@linuxassembly.org> submitted patch
to make dhcpcd work with 2.0 kernels. Modified configure script
to pass -DOLD_LINUX_VERSION flag to compiler if the kernel version
is 2.0.xx, in which case socket(AF_INET,SOCK_PACKET,..) call is used
instead of socket(AF_PACKET,SOCK_PACKET,..) and the local route
is added. Local route is added automatically under more recent kernels.
Rolf Jentsch <RJentsch@electronicpartner.de> submitted patch to
add -T flag to the dhcpcd command line. With -T flag dhcpcd will
go through normal DHCP negotiation sequence but will not configure
the interface or otherwise change anything on the system. Useful for
testing DHCP servers.
05/06/00 - v.1.3.18-pl7
Simon Baatz <baatz@informatik.uni-bonn.de> submited patch to fix
possible problem in retransmitting DHCP requests, and make dhcpcd
adapt to possible change in DHCP server address in the middle of a
client's lease.
Habibie <habibie@MailandNews.com> submitted patch to include
GNU automake, autoconf, and RPM packaging features into dhcpcd
distribution. Now dhcpcd build follows usual GNU scheme:
./configure
make
In any case, the old Makefile is also included. ./configure overwrites
it with generated version.
Added "-n" flag to dhcpcd command line. Now "dhcpcd -n" will force
currently running dhcpcd to try to renew the lease. This behavior
is similar to "pump -R".
04/15/00 - v.1.3.18-pl6
Jarno Huuskonen <jhuuskon@messi.uku.fi> submited patch to set
dhcpcd's process umask to 022 before creating /etc/resolv.conf file.
Scott Bronson <bronson@trestle.com> sent some feedback on how RH "pump"
behaves vs. dhcpcd. Now dhcpcd will also send second DHCP_DISCOVER
message.
Performing checksum on received packets is now optional and can be
switched on with -C option on dhcpcd command line.
03/27/00 - v.1.3.18-pl5
Lenz Grimmer <grimmer@suse.de> sent a patch to make dhcpcd do
reverse hostname lookup in a case DHCP server did not provide
hostName option with -H flag or in a case DHCP server did not provide
domainName option with -D flag to dhcpcd.
A bit enhanced version of the patch moved into "production".
03/27/00 - v.1.3.18-pl4
Removed "-m586" from Makefile.
The static executable contained with the distribution has been compiled
against glibc-2.1.3 and 2.3.99-pre3 kernel.
10/27/99 - v.1.3.18-pl3
Mike Hartman <wild@klondike.com> pointed out to include
NULL byte at the end of the HostName string.
10/26/99 - v.1.3.18-pl2
Mike Hartman <wild@klondike.com> submited a patch to fix
a bug in handling "-h" flag. Hostname option flag has been broken
since v.1.3.18-pl0.
09/17/99 - v.1.3.18-pl1
Put back "1.3.17-pl10" patch with some tweaking to get rid
of error in recvfrom call. Some minor cleanup.
09/01/99 - v.1.3.18-pl0
Reversed 1.3.17-pl10 patch. Binding dhcpSocket to the
interface produced error in recvfrom() call.
Chris G. Demetriou <cgd@netbsd.org> sent a patch
to make dhcpcd code portable to ARM platform.
Added "-s [ipaddr]" command-line option which makes dhcpcd
send DHCP_INFORM message. Added "-B" command-line option
to make dhcpcd solicit broadcast response. Added LOG_CONS option to
openlog(3). Changed "domain xxx" entry in resolv.conf to point
by default to nisDomainName, added "search nisDomainName" and
"search domainName" entries to resolv.conf file.
dhcpcd-<interface>.info file has minor changes to the format.
Namely, DNS and GATEWAY entries now will provide a comma-separated
list of corresponding IP addresses, not just the first IP address in
the list. Added support for static route option.
07/23/99 - v.1.3.17-pl10.
Johan Verrept <Johan.Verrept@alcatel.be> suggested "bind"-ing
dhcpSocket to the interface so the socket does not
receive packets from other interfaces. Change made to dhcpStart
routine to include a call to the bind().
07/09/99 - v.1.3.17-pl9.
PETAZZONI <jpetazzo@ryu.univ-mlv.fr> reported a case of
DHCP server responding with IpAddrLeaseTime=0 which
drove dhcpcd-1.3 mad. Added check for IpAddrLeaseTime=0 so
when dhcpcd receives IpAddrLeasetime=0 it will assume
DEFAULT_LEASETIME, infinite by default.
Added '-V' flag to dhcpcd syntax. Dhcpcd will print
copyright/version banner when used with '-V' flag.
06/19/99 - v.1.3.17-pl8.
Olivier Baudron <Olivier.Baudron@ens.fr> pointed out
to a problem with in_cksum routine when compiling with
egcs or gcc-2.8.xx compilers and proposed a patch to
work around the compiler bug.
Changed in_cksum routine in udpipgen.c file to
get rid of problems with wrong checksums if compiled
with egcs or gcc-2.8.xx compilers.
06/10/99 - v.1.3.17-pl7.
Hans Andersson <Hans.XH.Andersson@trab.se> and some
other gentlemen pointed out at 64-bit uncleanless of
current dhcpcd code, and sent relevant patches.
This release is an attempt to make dhcpcd-1.3
64-bit safe. No new functionality has been added.
This is left for v.1.3.18.
05/10/99 - v.1.3.17-pl6.
Andrew S. Howell <andy@tibco.com> submitted a patch
eliminating unnecessary padOptions in buildmsg.c file.
It helped with his cable modem. Removed
"Your IP address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" message on a screen
when dhcpcd configures the interface.
03/14/99 - v.1.3.17-pl5.
Mike Benoit <ipso@academyoflearning.ca> submitted
debugging info. Change made to "client.c" to allow
dhcpcd to get router IP address from DHCP_ACK message
if it didn't come with DHCP_OFFER.
03/10/99 - v.1.3.17-pl4.
Tim Auckland <tim.auckland@Corp.Sun.COM> submitted
patch to dhcpcd-1.3.17-pl3 to close all standard
file descriptors when dhcpcd forks into background.
It should help with pcmcia cards which use popen() call.
02/04/99 - v.1.3.17-pl3.
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Now if dhcpcd does not get DHCP_ACK for the same
IP address as before reboot, it will fall back
to dhcpInit and will send DHCP_DISCOVER message(s).
Dhcpcd will now write pid file before forking
into background not after. Updated manual page.
01/15/99 - v.1.3.17-pl2.
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Changed the dhcpcd exec-bin directory from /usr/sbin to /sbin.
Pavel Polischouk <pavelp@iil.intel.com> sent a tcpdump
which inspired me to make some changes to the code
to avoid potential race condition when there are multiple
DHCP servers on the network.
01/12/99 - v.1.3.17-pl1.
Marc ZYNGIER <Marc.Zyngier@wanadoo.fr> submitted another
patch to dhcpcd-1.3 to make it work on Linux Alpha
platforms.
01/10/99 - v.1.3.17
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Came across patch for dhcpcd-1.3.16
submitted to linux.debian.alpha
by Marc Zyngier Marc.Zyngier@bull.net.
Changed the default lease time requested
to infinite.
Removed "mlip" client 'cause of www.ml.org death.
Did some other minor changes to the code.
11/09/98 - v.1.3.16
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Thanks to a great help from Brion Vibber <brion@pobox.com>
another nasty bug has been found and hopefully
squashed. Also the problem with setting default
route on some of the systems has been finally
solved. Kernel refuses to accept a route for a gateway
if its IP address does not seem to be on the same
subnet as in a case with bridged subnets.
The work around suggested by Brion Vibber is
to add a local route to the gateway. I hope we've got
it right in v.1.3.16.
11/07/98 - v.1.3.15
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Fixed rather nasty bug in dhcpSendAndRecv routine
introduced in v.1.3.13 which might have prevented
quite of few users from receiving DHCP_OFFER message.
Added command-line options -D,-H,-R to dhcpcd.
Request and patch submitted by Aron Griffis <agriffis@css.tayloru.edu>
10/28/98 - v.1.3.14
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Removed setting a local route in addition to default one
in v.1.3.13. This did not help with the problem
one user experiences with setting a default route but
rather resulted in duplicate entries for the local
route in the routing table.
10/27/98 - v.1.3.13
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Fixed a minor bug in dhcpSendAndRecv routine
which caused quite a few bogus "DHCP server declined request: op=XX"
messages in /var/log/debug file.
Add (or rather put back) setting of local route.
Normally the local route is set automatically by
the kernel when default route entry is added, however
as it seems that doesn't always work for everybody.
10/25/98 - v.1.3.12
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Made a good faith attempt to squash a bug in UDP/IP
layer of dhcpcd which might have been a cause of
problems on PPC-based systems. Originally reported
by Martin Costabel <martin@wanadoo.fr>.
Rewrote quite a bit of UDP/IP code so if dhcpcd-1.3.12
doesn't work for you at all you may try v.1.3.11.
There seemed to be a problem with setting default
route on 2.1.125 kernel reported by Brion Vibber
<brion@pobox.com>. Changed "dhcpConfig" to not force
dhcpcd to die if it cannot set default route. At least
it would be easier to find the cause of problem...
Also did some changes to "client.c" code to move it
closer to the point when one can add support for Token Ring
and/or other link protocols.
10/15/98 - v.1.3.11
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Put back '-c filename' option for dhcpcd due to
a requests from some users of Mediaone cable modems
who were trying to use 'ipup' et similar bootup scripts.
Originally requested by Robert Shapiro <rshapiro@mediaone.com>
Some minor fixes.
10/13/98 - v.1.3.10
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Added a new feature: whenever the assigned IP address for the
interface changes dhcpcd will execute /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-interface.exe
program. The word <interface> is substituted by
the actual interface name like e.g. eth0.
Caution: do not use /etc/dhcpcd-interface.exe as a bootup
script. It will not be executed if the assigned IP address
is the same as it was before reboot.
The included sample /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-interface.exe will log
the time of IP change to /var/log/messages file.
The included mlip program changes the IP address
for your host at DNS servers provided by www.ml.org
in a case you happen to be a member of Monolith's DynDNS.
Edit mlip.h file to supply your hostname, username, and password at
Monolith. Do "make mlip" to compile it. Then copy the executable
to /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-interface.exe.
Added a compile time options '-DSETHOSTNAME' and '-DSETDOMAINNAME'
to Makefile. If used, dhcpcd will set hostname and/or domainname
of the host to the values it receives from DHCP server.
Rehashed the Changes file to reverse the time order of entries.
10/02/98 - v.1.3.9
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Reduced the timeouts for sending and receiving DHCP messages.
Commented out arpCheck() call. It didn't work anyway
because there won't be ARP_REPLY message unless the
sender's IP address is set which defeats the purpose
of doing ARP check. This is something for the authors
of RFC 2131 to fix.
09/04/98 - v.1.3.8
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Some user reported he couldn't get dhcpcd to configure
interface because it failed to set broadcast address.
Changed the order dhcpcd configures the interface so it does
1. sets IP address
2. sets netmask
3. sets broadcast address (redundant?)
Reduced the timeout for ARP check from 10secs to 3 secs, so
dhcpcd finishes faster.
08/01/98 -
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com>
Changed the "time since bootup" parameter in DHCP_DISCOVER
message from zero to 5 secs to accomodate for WinNT DHCP server
wishes. General cleanup.
01/31/98 -
Sergei Viznyuk <phystech@hotmail.com> :
Changed dhcpcd to use socket(AF_PACKET,SOCK_PACKET,..)
instead of socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,..) which did not
work with newer kernels.
Dropped 'dhcpcd -c filename' usage in favor of dhcpcd
returning valid exit status to the parent.
Added '-t timeout' option which specifies for how
long 'dhcpcd' will try to get an IP address before
forking into background.
Changed 'dhcpcd -d' option to be a debug flag.
======== before v.1.3 ============
08/28/97 1. added '-I' (client identifier) option.
0.70 2. added '-h' (hostname) option (Note 10).
04/24/97 changed the source UDP port from a random number to 68
0.65 because some servers respond to NOT port 68 but the source
UDP port in the received datagram (Note 9).
03/16/97 1. fixed the bug that DHCPDECLINE message was RFC1541
0.6 compliant. Now dhcpcd can send both Interned Draft
compliant DHCPDECLINE message and RFC1541 compliant
one (mkDhcpDeclineMsg).
2. fixed the bug that the broadcast address and the
subnetmask were set to the wrong value under the
following condition:
1. dhcpcd is in the REBOOTING state
2. received DHCP ACK msg does not include the
broadcast or subnetmask option.
(rebooting in client.c)
3. fixed the bug that dhcpcd does not send a DHCPDECLINE
msg when it detects the duplicate IP adddress
(arpCheck in arp.c)..
4. changed the way to make a DHCPREQUEST msg in the
SELECTING state (selecting, mkDhcpRequestMsg)
5. changed the pcmcia/network script to unmount the NFS
filesystems before invoking "dhcpcd -k" command when
the card service goes down.
6. added a new environment variable DHCP_DEVICE, which
contains the name of network interface to which
dhcpcd is attached.
03/07/97 1. fixed the bug that the renewal time and the rebind time
are messed up (becomes minus number :p) when dhcpcd gets
the lease time whose least significant byte is greater
than or equal to 0x80 (setDhcpInfo in client.c) (Note 7).
For example, if the lease time is 24 hours, dhcpcd does
not work.
2. added the hostname option to the parameter request list
(mkDhcpDiscoverMsg and mkDhcpRequestMsg in client.c)
3. fixed the bug that dhcpcd sends a DHCPREQUEST message
which does not have the server identifier option in the
SELECTING state (mkDhcpRequestMsg in client.c)
4. fixed the bug that dhcpcd uses the information from the
DHCPOFFER message for configuring the host (it must use
the information from the DHCPREQUEST message) (initHost
in client.c) (Note 8).
01/30/97 made version 0.5a2 into 0.5, and released it.
0.5
01/20/97 changed init, renewing, rebinding (client.c), and
0.5a2 rcvAndCheckDhcpMsg (socket-if.c) to fix the bug that dhcpcd
exited with holding the assigned IP address when it failed in
invoking sendto system call in the RENEWING state. This happened
when the server is down in the RENEWING state. It causes
hosts to use expired IP addresses (how dangerous!). Now
dhcpcd does not exit even when it gets an error from sendto
in the RENEWING state. It continues to use the assigned IP
address until the lease time is expired, then it
initializes the network interface and goes into the INIT
state (Note 6).
01/13/97 1. added IFF_MULTICAST in initHost (client.c) (Note 1).
0.5a 2. fixed the bug that dhcpcd core-dumped when it received a
datagram containig the DHCP message option (parseDhcpMsg
in options.c) (Note 2).
3. added -r option which makes dhcpcd RFC1541 compliant
(Note 3).
4. changed mkDhcpRequestMsg (client.c) to put the
parameter request list option into the DHCPREQUEST
message in order to support the CMU version of DHCP
server (Note 4). But I do not check whether it works
with the CMU version of DHCP server.
5. changed the argument to logOpen from LOG_CONS to LOG_PID
(Note 5).
6. add nextState initialization in rebinding (client.c).
7. changed the host information file name from "hostinfo"
to "hostinfo-ifname" (saveHostInfo in hostinfo.c)
(Note 5). Ifname is actually replaced with the network
interface name like "eth0". This is good when multiple
dhcpcd's attach to different network interfaces.
09/22/96 made dhcpcd compliant to the Internet Draft in order to
0.4 work with ISC version of DHCP server.
Changed client.c, options.c, socket-if.c
09/19/96 quick fix to make it work with ISC's dhcpd. I made BROACAST
0.33 flag available and added the NEED_BCAST_RESPONSE macro.
ISC's DHCP server is the Internet Draft compliant, but
dhcpcd is RFC1541 compliant. So this is a "workaround" version.
09/17/96 added the code checking option field to parseDhcpMsg (options.c)
0.32
09/16/96 fixed a typo in selecting (client.c)
0.31
09/13/96 1. enhanced NTP support. Now dhcpcd creates the file, ntp.conf
0.3 in the directory, /etc/dhcpc.
2. added the code verifying if router addresses are correct
09/12/96 added the following sample shell scripts:
0.3b 1. "network" for pcmcia-cs
2. "rc" scripts (rc.inet1, rc.inet2, rc.M)
3. "rc.dhcp", a command file which can be executed from dhcpcd
09/11/96 1. fixed a bug in setDefRoute (if.c). rt_flags was RT_UP.
0.3a It should be RT_GATEWAY.
2. fixed typos in openRecvSocket (socket-if.c)
3. changed the way to invoke a command file from using
signal to forking twice
4. removed unnecessary socket close/re-open
09/09/96 added support to the "router" option.
0.25a changed files: options.c, dhcp-options.h, dhcp.h, hostinfo.c,
if.c, client.c
08/09/96 added the code to make a copy of the DHCP options in the
0.2 DHCPOFFER message because Windows NT server does not put
DHCP options in the DHCPACK message except for netmask, T1
time, and T2time. Other DHCP options are only in the
DHCPOFFER message.
07/27/96 added '-i' option specifying the class identifier because
0.2a RFC1541 says "The client implementation of DHCP should
provide a mechanism for the user to select directly the
'class-identifier' value.".
07/23/96 1. moved ARP check from just after dhcpcd received a
0.2a DHCPOFFER message to just after dhcpcd received a
DHCPACK message.
2. added 'Parameter Request List' in the DHCPDISCOVER message.
3. added code to output the content of DHCP message option from
the server
Note 1: Koji Okamura suggested this.
Note 2: This fix was made by Dan Halbert.
Note 3: Dan Halbert found that dhcpcd-0.4 does not work with some
RFC1541 compliant DHCP servers, and made a patch for it.
Brandon Mitchell suggested -r option.
Note 4: N. Komazaki found that CMU's DHCP server (dhcpd-3.3.7
+patch) requires the parameter request option in the
DHCPREQUEST message.
Note 5: Ulrich Windl suggested this.
Note 6: Koji Okamura found this bug.
Note 7: Andrew Kieschnick found this bug.
Note 8: Tim Riker found this bug.
Note 9: I found this problem by using the tcpdump log which
Larry Hawkins sent me.
Note 10: I found some DHCP servers require this option by using the
tcpdump log which David Filiatrault sent me.
