HAVE_DECL_RES_INIT is generated using AC_CHECK_DECLS. tinc checks this
symbol using #ifdef, which is wrong because (according to autoconf docs)
the symbol is always defined, it's just set to zero if the check failed.
This broke the Windows build starting from
0b310bf406, because it introduced this
conditional in code that's not excluded from the Windows build.
Unfortunately, glibc assumes that /etc/resolv.conf is a static file that
never changes. Even on servers, /etc/resolv.conf might be a dynamically
generated file, and we never know when it changes. So just call
res_init() every time, so glibc uses up-to-date nameserver information.
Proxy type "exec" can be used to have an external script or binary set
up an outgoing connection. Standard input and output will be used to
exchange data with the external command. The variables REMOTEADDRESS and
REMOTEPORT are set to the intended destination address and port.
This allows tincctl to receive log messages from a running tincd,
independent of what is logged to syslog or to file. Tincctl can receive
debug messages with an arbitrary level.
If one uses a symbolic name for the Port option, tinc will send that name
literally to other nodes. However, it is not guaranteed that all nodes have
the same contents in /etc/services, or have such a file at all.
This feature is not necessary anymore since we have tools like valgrind today
that can catch stack overflow errors before they make a backtrace in gdb
impossible.
- Update year numbers in copyright headers.
- Add copyright information for Michael Tokarev and Florian Forster to the
copyright headers of files to which they have contributed significantly.
- Mention Michael and Florian in AUTHORS.
- Mention that tinc is GPLv3 or later if compiled with the --enable-tunemu
flag.
Previously, tinc used a fixed address and port for each node for UDP packet
exchange. The port was the one advertised by that node as its listening port.
However, due to NAT the port might be different. Now, tinc sends a different
session key to each node. This way, the sending node can be determined from
incoming packets by checking the MAC against all session keys. If a match is
found, the address and port for that node are updated.
- Convert cp to cp(); so that automatic indenters work.
- Convert constructions like if(x == NULL) to if(!x).
- Move all assignments out of conditions.
