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 Integrate Alan Curry's module failover patch. This can be done within
+ a few days if it's agreed that it's a good thing. I certainly think
+ it is.
+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 modular radutmp and radwtmp, as per Alan Curry's old patches.
-o module initialization AFTER forking, not before.
o merge OSF/OSFIA patches from Cistron.
platforms.
o go through *.c and *.h, adding comments at the top with a copyright,
and a GPL license.
-o add more support for new configuration files
-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 get rlm_sql to work with multiple instances
-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 fix the proxy receive code, so that we don't have to look through ALL
+ of the requests to find the matching proxy. This might be hard to do..
+o rad_malloc() fixes: child processes/threads ALWAYS kill themselves
+ if malloc() failes. 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 Fix DBM support:
- Multiple defaults (done)
- Fallthrough (hard for not DEFAULT entries)
-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.
o split rlm_files into rlm_users, rlm_fastusers (in-memory hash),
rlm_detail, rlm_dbm... they all should share as much code as
possible though, not be big cut-and-paste jobs
-o New module: rlm_attrmap. assigns a single attribute based on a
- username, with ed-friendly/awk-friendly config file. Because the
- users file is too complicated.
-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 better SNMP statistics support, for the auth/acct servers, and for
each client.
+o fix the request list walking code, to scan each element no more than
+ once per second.

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
cruel.
o New module: rlm_perl.

DONE:
+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
