238 * Many, many minor bug fixes and feature enhancements.
239 * Added "reject" action in configurable failover for modules
240 * Added a "listen" directive, which supersedes the old
241 "bind_address" and "port" directives. "listen" allows much
242 finer-grained control over what IP's, ports, and packets the
243 server pays attention to.
244 * The proxy code has been updated to work properly, and to
245 allocate new sockets for proxying packets when there are more
246 than 256 requests outstanding to a home server. Many thanks

254 value is 0, treat the attribute as not found. This lets things
255 like %{sql: select... :-FAILED} work.
256 * Realms can now be configured to ignore DEFAULT and NULL
257 realms. This makes prefix/suffix realms co-exists a little
259 * Added red-black tree implementation to src/lib. The
260 dictionaries now use it, rather than singly linked lists. Tests
261 indicate that the server is up to 30% faster.
262 * Updated MSCHAP module to be able to better deal with Windows
263 machines which put a username with domain into User-Name, but
264 which use only the username to create the MS-CHAP-Response.
265 * Made "hints" file more generic and flexible, without changing
267 * Enhanced configuration file variable handling. See
268 doc/variables.txt for details.
269 * Checks for OpenSSL now enforce version number, and are common
270 across all modules, rather than being duplicated.
271 * Implement "udpfromto", which allows the server to work better in
272 LVS. Code from Jan Berkel and Miquel van Smoorenburg. To use
273 it, do: ./configure --with-udpfromto=yes
274 * Re-arranged "walk over cached requests" code for clarity.
275 * The server now keeps more SNMP statistics about the packets it
277 * De-coupled the queue of input requests from the pool of threads.
278 This allows "spikes" of requests to be queued, even though all
279 threads are busy. This change significantly increases the
280 servers ability to process large numbers of requests on a
282 * Re-arranged the internal "core" request handling code, to
283 make a little more sense.
284 * Removed support for Replicate-To-Realm. Use radrelay.

286 or VendorName-Attr-%d.
287 * rlm_passwd is now marked "stable", and has many bugs fixed.
288 * More flexible configuration for rlm_ldap.
289 * New implementation of parser for Ascend's data filter

293 * Added support for rejected packets to run an Post-Auth-Type REJECT
294 stanza instead of skipping post-auth entirely.
295 * Added support for %{*:Packet-Type} translation. (Not for %{check:})
296 * Added support for %{check:Attribute-Name} to go with
297 %{request:Attribute-Name} and the like.

506 * Attributes which are not found in the dictionary are now of
507 type 'octets', instead of 'string'.
508 * Support for "round-robin" load balancing, when proxying requests
509 to multiple servers for one realm.
510 * Minor changes for better HPUX support.
511 * Updated the documentation and README's
512 * Made FreeTDS build ONLY after hand-editing, as the FreeTDS
513 libraries are in a state of flux, due to active development.
514 * Fixes to help build the server on MAC OSX
515 * Cisco VPN 3000 dictionary, as posted to the list by Chris Deramus.

521 requests after they've been authenticated.
522 * doc/aaa.txt describes how the server works.
523 * More uniform encoding/decoding of passwords, so that they will
524 be seen as clear-text where possible.
525 * radwho and radzap now read 'radiusd.conf' to discover where the
526 radutmp files are located. Patch from Andrea Gabellini.
527 * Preliminary 'expression' module, to allow you to do cool things
528 like: Session-Timeout = `%{expr:3600 - %{sql:SELECT ...}}`
529 * Added ability to do xlat on check items, and reply items,
530 so that the value of the reply attributes can be dynamically
532 * Added MIBs, taken from the RFC's. This makes SNMP queries to
533 the server a little easier to set up.
534 * Don't SEGV when we receive a packet which is larger than the
535 size claimed in the RADIUS portion. Patch from Vaughn Skinner.
536 * SNMP patches from Harrie Hazewinkel.
537 * Added Altiga dictionary, from Calum <calum.aug02@umtstrial.co.uk>
538 * New Rewrite-Rule for rlm_attr_rewrite, to selectively choose

540 * Minor bug fixes for radrelay.
541 * Bug fixes in SQL and sub-modules.
542 * Major updates to dialup_admin.
543 * Fixed handling of tagged string attributes, so that the server
544 doesn't go off into never-never land.
545 * Cleaned up experimental rlm_smb, so that it builds on more
547 * Don't over-write request->reply->vps with the Reply-Message,
548 when doing authentication rejects with Exec-Program-Wait.
549 * Added 'instantiate' section, so that modules like 'expr',
550 with only an 'xlat' function can be registered.
551 * Allow '{' and '}' in xlat'd strings.
552 * C++ compatibility patch from Andrey Kotrekhov, for libradius.
553 * Automatically decrypt/encrypt User-Password, so that debugging
554 mode will print out the text password, and not the random
555 garbage it previously showed.
556 * Cleaned up header files and function prototypes for the SQL
559 FreeRADIUS 0.7 ; Date: 2002/07/26 18:01:50 , urgency=high
561 * Allow attributes of type 'date' to be sent in outgoing packets.
562 Bug found by Loh John Wu <ljwu@sandvine.com>
563 * Add 'Realm' attribute, even if it's a LOCAL realm.
564 Bug noted by Chris Brotsos.
565 * Added experimental SMB authentication module, which uses
566 PAP passwords to authenticate against an NT-Domain.
567 NT/LM-passwords are not currently supported.

573 Patch from Rainer Weikusat.
574 * SQL now re-connects to the server, if the connection is lost.
575 Currently only MySQL is fixed, but other patches will follow.
576 Patch from Todd T. Fries.
577 * Added experimental use of dynamicly translated variables,
578 CallBack-Number = `%{request:Calling-Station-Id}`
579 sets the value of the CallBack-Number attribute to the value of
580 the Calling-Station-Id in the original request.
581 * Cute hack: Allow regex matching on IP addresses, by placing
582 the string representation of the IP address (1.2.3.4) into
583 the internal data structure. This allows things like
584 NAS-IP-Address =~ "^192\.168", which may be useful.
585 * Add documentation for experimental rlm_dbm module.
586 * Added experimental Perl module.
587 * Added the relevant IETF RFC's (standards documents) to 'doc/rfc',
588 along with some simple perl scripts to convert them to cross-
590 * Updated the experimental Python module.
591 * Added Cisco SSG VSA's
592 * When rejecting authentication due to external Exec-Program, do
593 NOT free the reply pairs, as the server core will take care of
594 doing that. Bug noted by Thomas Jalsovsky
595 * New experimental module: rlm_cram
596 Supports APOP, CRAM-MD5, CRAM-MD4, CRAM-SHA1 with it's own
597 VSA's. This module may be used for SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 server

604 * Update rlm_x99_token module to compile.
606 FreeRADIUS 0.6.0 ; Date: Date: 2002/07/03 14:16:33 , urgency=high
608 * Many bug fixes. For explicit details, see:
609 http://www.freeradius.org/cvs-log/
610 * Change to the user/group specified in the config file in all
611 modes ( debug and daemon ).
612 * SQL sockets are rotated so that all are used, to prevent the
613 SQL server timing out and closing unused sockets. Patch from
615 * Sybase driver from mattias@nogui.se.
616 * Modules are now versioned.
617 * Delete garbage Proxy-Reply attributes sent by the home server
618 before performing our own reply.
619 * Fix race conditions when duplicate packets resulted in a request
620 being processed by two threads, at the same time.
621 * Add '-d' command-line option to radwho
622 Bug noted by Matthew Schumacher
623 * Corrected issue that when a home server never replied to a
624 proxied request, the server may die.
625 * In SQL, look in radcheck, if not found there, try radgroupcheck.
626 Patch from Thomas Jalsovsky.
627 * Set sql user name for ALIVE accounting packets, too.
628 Patch from Simon <lists@routemeister.net>.
629 * Use port-specific checking for realms, now that we can proxy to
630 different auth/acct servers for the same realms.
631 Patch from Eddie Stassen.
632 * Minor updates to encrypted tunnel passwords.
633 * Default 'run_dir' is now /var/run/radiusd, not var/run.
634 /var/run is writeable only by root, and radiusd may be run suid.
635 * Modules are now versioned, so that upgrading the server
636 ensures that the new modules are installed.
637 * Fix sql code, so that magic SQL characters don't get the
639 * Remove references to "UNKNOWN-NAS" in log messages.
640 * Properly handle fork() and obtaining child processes exit
641 status when using threads. (pthread is broken w.r.t. signals)
642 * Correct code which would send erroneous reject, when the reject
643 was delayed, and a new request came in.
644 * Fix race condition where proxied requests would sometimes never
645 be re-sent. Bug noted by Eddie Stassen.
646 * Corrected LDAP3 schema
647 * Implemented Digest authentication, as per IETF document
648 draft-sterman-aaa-sip-00.txt, to perform authentication against
650 * If no password or group files have been specified in the config,
651 use the standard system calls to find them, rather than giving
652 up. Patch from Steve Langasek.
653 * Return Proxy-State attributes in a delated Access-Reject
654 * Corrected 'session zap' logic, when an old and unused session
655 is deleted from the databases. Accounting packets with garbage
656 Client-IP-Address attributes should no longer be a problem.
657 * Bug fixed in LDAP attribute map, for MS-CHAP related attributes.
658 * Fixes to the EAP module to work better with XP.
659 * Support for MS-SQL, using the FreeTDS library,
661 * New operators =* and !*. See 'man 5 users' for details.
662 * Added translation for %{config:section.subsection.item}, to
663 allow run-time translation of internal configuration parameters.
664 * New rlm_sqlcounter module, to keep counters based on SQL data.
665 * Fix rlm_realm, to allow seperate proxying of accounting and
666 authentication requests.
667 * Bug fixes in PostgreSQL back-end, from Andrew Kukhta.
668 * Increase internal buffers, to allow large SQL query strings.
669 * Added debug level 3 (-xxx), where debug messages have time stamps.
670 * Fix 'radwho' to use the correct radutmp file, as found by
671 'configure' (but radwho still doesn't read radiusd.conf)
672 * Fix bugs in tunnel (tagged attribute) code, which would prevent
673 tagged attributes from being generated correctly in a packet.
674 * Build only 'stable' modules by default. Experimental modules
675 require --with-experimental-modules to be passed to 'configure'
676 * New module rlm_ippool, to do server-side IP pooling.
677 * Fix rlm_eap module for portability, to work on non-x86 platforms.
678 * Re-connect to the LDAP server if the connection idles out
679 * Increased the visibility of the warning messages when doing
681 * Fixed EAP module to use 16-bit integers, so that it will

692 * New 'tuning' guide, for optimizing the server's speed.
693 * The default ports are now 1812/1813, which is the standard.
694 * Fix a bug which would hang the server when many SQL connections
695 were open. Found by Cvetan Ivanov <zezo@spnet.net>
696 * Updated MySQL schema, with sanity checks, based on a schema from
697 Thomas Huehn <huehn@eozaen.net>
698 * Added 'Aptis' (Nortel CVX) dictionary.
699 * Added Ipv6 attributes (as 'octets' type for now)
700 * 'xlat' capability for SQL, so other modules can do SQL queries.
701 * We don't need a shared secret for LOCAL realms.
702 * Added better description of internal variables.
703 * Configurable fail-over to DEFAULT realm. Sometimes we don't
704 want to use the DEFAULT realm, if all configured realms are
705 marked dead. From Rainer Clasen.
706 * new configuration items 'max_attributes' and 'reject_delay'
707 If the packet contains too many attributes, it can be rejected.
708 We can also delay sending an Access-Reject, which slows down
710 * Updates to redhat scripts and spec file, from Marko Myllynen.
711 * Python module (EXPERIMENTAL) from migs paraz <mparaz@yahoo.com>
712 * Add ability to find *best* match when comparing attributes.
713 If there is more than one attribute in a request and the first
714 one doesn't match, go check the second one, instead of failing.
715 * unixODBC support for SQL, from Dmitri Ageev <d_ageev@ortcc.ru>
716 * Use thread-safe versions of library calls. This work is still
718 * New rlm_passwd module, to allow general parsing of passwd-style
720 * Preliminary EAP-TLS support.
721 * Updated LDAPv3 schema
722 * Correct checks for Odbc, and fix bugs in the module.
723 Andreas Kainz <aka@maxxio.at>
724 * MAN page fixes and updates
725 * Added PHP web interface 'dialup_admin'
726 * Password = "UNIX" or "PAM" backwards compatibility removed.

728 fixes in the SQL module.
729 Randy Moore <ramoore@axion-it.net>
730 * fgetpwent() compatibility, for systems without it,
731 from Daniel Carroll <freeradius@defiant.mesastate.edu>
732 * Added PAP authentication module, as a step to removing
733 most authentication handlers in other modules.
734 * Send a Access-Reject after max_request_time
735 * Multiple fixes in the LDAP module.
736 * Quintum dictionary by Jeremy McNamara <jj@indie.org>
737 * Preliminary EAP Module with MD5 support
738 Contributed by Raghu <raghud@hereuare.com>
739 * Better sanity checking for bad VSA's when receiving a packet
740 * new 'xlat register' so that attribute values may be pulled
741 out of configurable databases at run-time.
742 e.g. %{ldap:ldap:///dc=company,dc=com?uid?sub?uid=%u}
743 * Minor fixes to debian package rules
744 * Attribute 'Password' deprecated in favor of 'User-Password'.
745 * MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 MPPE support added.
746 Contributed by Takahiro Wagatsuma <waga@sic.shibaura-it.ac.jp>.
747 * X9.9 token enhancements (several).
749 -- Alan DeKok <aland@ox.org>
751 FreeRADIUS 0.4.0 ; urgency=low
753 * Allow the MS-CHAP module to work, and to read /etc/smbpass
754 3APA3A <3APA3A@SECURITY.NNOV.RU>
755 * Remove the server requirement that one of User-Password
756 or CHAP-Password exist when doing authentication. These
757 checks should be handled by the modules. This change
758 also prepares us for EAP.
759 Patch from Raghu <raghud@hereuare.com>
760 * Make NAS-Port-ID in radwho, raduse, etc. unsigned,
762 Patch from John Morrissey <jwm@horde.net>
763 * Allow \t and \n inside of configuration strings.
764 Frank Cusack <fcusack@fcusack.com>

780 * Added ability to send debug messages to the log file, when
781 running in daemon mode.
782 * Miscellaneous fixes to get Debian packaging working.
783 * When trapping a signal, don't SIGKILL children on a SIGTERM,
784 SIGTERM them, instead. This allows Exec-Program scripts to
785 catch the signal, and finish processing, instead of dying.
786 Bug noted by Michael Chernyakhovsky <magmike@mail.ru>
787 * Increased limit on length of user name read from /etc/passwd,
788 to match the maximum allowed by RADIUS.
789 Bug noted by "Gonzalez B., Fernando" <fgonzalez@manquehue.cl>
790 * Configurable fail-over when proxying packets. If the
791 home server doesn't respond to a repeated proxied request,
792 it's marked as 'dead', and the next one in the list is used.
793 Patch by Eddie Stassen <eddies@saix.net> and <spirn@21cn.com>
794 * Pass Access-Challenge attributes through the server, in
796 Raghu <raghud@hereuare.com>

810 Patch from Andriy I Pilipenko <bamby@marka.net.ua>
811 * Renamed RedHat init script from 'radiusd.init' to 'radiusd'.
812 This allows it to work properly with the RedHat rc system.
813 Patch from Christian Vogel <chris@amor.iksys.de>
814 * Fix the configure script checks for PostgreSQL, so that
815 they use the 'test' command properly.
816 Bug found by Robert Haskins <rhaskins@ziplink.net>
817 * Change instances of 'assert' to 'rad_assert', so that it
818 can log the error to the standard radius log files.
819 Patch from Vesselin Atanasov <vesselin@bgnet.bg>

828 * Add primitive dictionary.nomadix <CBoyd@apogeetelecom.com>
829 * Log messages to console, if the logger hasn't been
830 initialized. <vesselin@bgnet.bg>
831 * Log invalid user for proxy rejects, too. <help@visp.net>
832 * Fixed Expiration attribute handling.
833 * Added code to handle Ascend-Send-Secret and Ascend-Receive-Secret
834 * Removed non thread-pool code. If we have threads, we now force
835 the use of thread pools.
836 * Update version number
837 * correct bug where proxied accounting packets would never have a
838 reply sent back to the NAS, or the reply would be sent twice.
840 -- Alan DeKok <aland@ox.org>
842 FreeRADIUS Alpha 0.2.0, July 30, 2001.
844 * call openlog() again when using PAM, to get the correct log

851 * Platform independent pthread_cancel()ling
852 * Fix 'unresponsive child pid' erroneous warning messages.
853 * Many changes to get various SQL modules working.
854 Note that there may still be some issues with Oracle.
855 * Added configure options 'with-rlm-FOO-include/lib-dir', so that
856 lower-level rlm_FOO modules can be configured via the top-level
857 configuration file. This isn't completely done yet.
858 * Fix check for shared library using libtool info, instead of
859 assuming extension being ".so".
860 * Fixes for HPUX. We probably need more.
861 * Many additional bug fixes and changes.
