In a "decentrally managed vpn" it is very likely that host config
files for some reachable nodes do not exist. Currently, tinc
fills the logs with "Cannot open config file" messages.
This commit changes the log level to LOG_DEBUG so
syslog doesn't get filled by default.
This gets rid of xasprintf() in a number of places, and removes the need
to free() the temporary strings. A few potential memory leaks have been
fixed.
When reloading the configuration file via the tinc command, the user will get
an error message if reloading has failed. However, no such warning exists when
sending a HUP signal. Previously, tincd would exit in both cases, but with a
zero exit code. Now it will exit with code 1 when reloading fails after a
SIGHUP, but tincd will keep running if it is signaled via the tinc command.
Instead, the tinc command will exit with a non-zero exit code.
Struct outgoing_ts and connection_ts were depending too much on each other,
causing lots of problems, especially the reuse of a connection_t. Now, whenever
a connection is closed it is immediately removed from the list of connections
and destroyed.
Seeking in files and rewriting parts of them does not seem to work properly on
Windows. Instead, when old RSA keys are found when generating new ones, the
file containing the old keys is copied to a temporary file where the changes
are made, and that file is renamed back to the original filename. On Windows,
we cannot atomically replace files with a rename(), so we need to move the
original file out of the way first. If anything fails, the new code will warn
that the user has to solve the problem by hand.
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 we don't have ECDSA keys for the node we connect to, set protocol_minor
to 1, to indicate this to the other end. This will first complete the
old way of authentication with RSA keys, and will then exchange ECDSA keys.
The connection will be terminated right afterwards, and the next attempt
will use ECDSA keys.
Options given on the command line have precedence over configuration from files.
This can be useful, for example, for a roaming node, for which 'ConnectTo' and
<host>.Address depends on its location.
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.
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.
When generating an RSA keypair, the new public and private keys are appended to
files. However, when OpenSSL reads keys it only reads the first in a file, not
the last. Instead of printing an easily ignored warning, tinc now disables old
keys when appending new ones.
