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.
When forwarding a metadata request through forward_request() we were
adding the required newline char to our buffer, but then sending the
data without it - this results in the forwarded request and the next one
to be garbled together.
Additionally while at it add a warning comment that request string is
not zero terminated anymore after a call to the forward_request()
function - for now this is ok as it is not used by any caller after this.
If a node is unreachable, and not connected to an edge anymore, it gets
deleted. When this happens its subnets are also removed, which should
not happen with StrictSubnets=yes.
Solution:
- do not remove subnets in src/net.c::purge(), we know that all subnets
in the list came from our hosts files.
I think here you got the check wrong by looking at the tunnelserver
code below it - with strictsubnets we still inform others but do not
remove the subnet from our data.
- do not remove nodes in net.c::purge() that still have subnets
attached.
When this option is enabled, packets that cannot be sent directly to the destination node,
but which would have to be forwarded by an intermediate node, are dropped instead.
When combined with the IndirectData option,
packets for nodes for which we do not have a meta connection with are also dropped.
This determines if and how incoming packets that are not meant for the local
node are forwarded. It can either be off, internal (tinc forwards them itself,
as in previous versions), or kernel (packets are always sent to the TUN/TAP
device, letting the kernel sort them out).
When this option is enabled, tinc will not accept dynamic updates of Subnets
from other nodes, but will only use Subnets read from local host config files
to build its routing table.
Instead of allocating storage for each line read, we now read into fixed-size
buffers on the stack. This fixes a case where a malformed configuration file
could crash tinc.
Every operating system seems to have its own, slightly different way to disable
packet fragmentation. Emit a compiler warning when no suitable way is found.
On OpenBSD, it seems impossible to do it for IPv4.
