URGENT:
-
-o UPDATE accounting requests aren't handled as in 1.5.4.3 for wtmp
- Is this a problem ? Need to fix in rlm_unix.c
-o Fix potentially long locks on radutmp file by radcheck thread
+o scan ALL modules, so that they use consistent names for structures
+ and variables in their instantiation (rlm_foo_t *inst), and that they
+ call rlm_foo_detach() if anything goes wrong, instead of just free()'ing
+ 'inst'. The cf_parse_section().. code may have malloc'd memory, and
+ that needs to be free'd, too.
+o Stop unloading modules on HUP so that we can have persistant
+ handles/socketc/etc from module_init(). Alan D. and Alan C. had a good
+ plan for when to load/reload modules on the list recently...I say
+ run with that.
+o double-check Cistron 'compat' mode, so that all current users of
+ Cistron can upgrade "out of the box" to FreeRADIUS
MEDIUM PRIORITY
-o add more support for new configuration files
-o enable server to run in threaded mode
-o enable server to run with child processes
- (This is a little more difficult than the previous one)
-
+o go through all of the code and reformat it, for project standards
+o go through all of the code, removing unnecessary #include's, and
+ generating a standard include file order which will work across all
+ platforms.
+o rad_malloc() fixes: child processes/threads ALWAYS kill themselves
+ if malloc() fails. The main server process does a 'sleep' for N
+ seconds, and tries again. After T tries, it gives up, and calls exit().
LOW PRIORITY:
o Write better documentation
o Manual pages for the daemon, utilities and conffiles (some done)
o Fix all FIXME's in the source.
-o Fix DBM support:
- - Multiple defaults (done)
- - Fallthrough (hard for not DEFAULT entries)
+o better SNMP statistics support, for the auth/acct servers, and for
+ each client.
+
+WAIT UNTIL NEXT RELEASE:
+o UPDATE accounting requests aren't handled as in 1.5.4.3 for wtmp
+ Is this a problem ? Need to fix in rlm_unix.c
+o New module: rlm_fastradwtmp. with a radutmp-style active session
+ database to guarantee wtmp records are always written in matching
+ pairs. Because radlast is slow.
+o replace the module_t method table with a set of register_* functions
+ (so different instances of the same module can offer different
+ methods)
+o enable server to run with child processes
+ (This is a little more difficult than the threading changes)
+o switch all timers from time() to gettimeofday() so processing is
+ less bursty
+o SNMP support for querying users who are on-line.
+o New module: rlm_nsupdate (dyndns). Because dynamic addresses are
+ cruel.
+
+WILL NOT DO:
+o module initialization AFTER forking, not before.
+ --- The modules should NOT be setting up any process-dependent
+ --- information.
+
o there should be a way that radius itself could
rotate the wtmp file properly. It should write "logout" records for
all users, move the file to wtmp.0, and create a new wtmp file with
"login" records for all currently online users.
+ --- This work is for an external process to do ---
DONE:
+o IPv6
+o proxy receive rbtree stuff
+o rlm_perl
+o "listen" directive
+o fix radwho to read modules{radutmp{filename = }}
+o Add 'initialize' list in modules, so explicitely give initialization order.
+o merge OSF/OSFIA patches from Cistron.
+o Fix DBM support:
+ - Put DBM into its own module
+ - Multiple defaults (done)
+ - Fallthrough (hard for not DEFAULT entries)
+o modular radutmp and radwtmp, as per Alan Curry's old patches.
+o Fix multiple/conflicting VALUE names as pointed out on the list.
+ e.g. 'Rlogin' has different values when used with different ATTRIBUTEs,
+o go through *.c and *.h, adding comments at the top with a copyright,
+ and a GPL license.
+o Integrated Alan Curry's module failover patch.
+o add more support for new configuration files
+o Fixed potentially long locks on radutmp file by radcheck thread
+ This means unlocking the file, forking checkrad, and then locking
+ the file again.
+o get rlm_unix to work with multiple instances
+o partial split of rlm_files into rlm_fastusers and rlm_detail
+o enable server to run in threaded mode
o rlm_realm module for COMPLETE control of proxying on any attribute
o re-transmits of proxied packets
o operator support in pairmove.
(for example, Login-Hour = 8-18, Login-Day = 0-5 for business hours)
o take out host-order IP addresses
o Support Connect-Rate
+o have a config file (or section in radiusd.conf) that tells rlm_sql
+ what the names of the tables and columns are instead of hardcoding
+ them
+o split rlm_files into rlm_users, rlm_fastusers (in-memory hash),
+ rlm_detail, they all should share as much code as
+ possible though, not be big cut-and-paste jobs
+o fix the request list walking code, to scan each element no more than
+ once per second.
