-What's new in ppp-2.4.3.
-************************
-
-* The configure script now accepts --prefix and --sysconfdir options.
- These default to /usr/local and /etc. If you want pppd put in
- /usr/sbin as before, use ./configure --prefix=/usr.
-
-* Doing `make install' no longer puts example configuration files in
- /etc/ppp. Use `make install-etcppp' if you want that.
-
-* The code has been updated to work with version 0.8.3 of libpcap.
- Unfortunately the libpcap maintainers removed support for the
- "inbound" and "outbound" keywords on PPP links, meaning that if you
- link pppd with libpcap-0.8.3, you can't use those keywords in the
- active-filter and pass-filter expressions. The support has been
- reinstated in the CVS version and should be in future libpcap
- releases. If you need the in/outbound keywords, use a later release
- than 0.8.3, or get the CVS version from http://www.tcpdump.org.
-
-* There is a new option, child-timeout, which sets the length of time
- that pppd will wait for child processes (such as the command
- specified with the pty option) to exit before exiting itself. It
- defaults to 5 seconds. After the timeout, pppd will send a SIGTERM
- to any remaining child processes and exit. A value of 0 means no
- timeout.
-
-* Various bugs have been fixed, including some CBCP packet parsing
- bugs that could lead to the peer being able to crash pppd if CBCP
- support is enabled.
-
-* Various fixes and enhancements to the radius and rp-pppoe plugins
- have been added.
-
-* There is a new winbind plugin, from Andrew Bartlet of the Samba
- team, which provides the ability to authenticate the peer against an
- NT domain controller using MS-CHAP or MS-CHAPV2.
-
-* There is a new pppoatm plugin, by various authors, sent in by David
- Woodhouse.
-
-* The multilink code has been substantially reworked. The first pppd
- for a bundle still controls the ppp interface, but it doesn't exit
- until all the links in the bundle have terminated. If the first
- pppd is signalled to exit, it signals all the other pppds
- controlling links in the bundle.
-
-* The TDB code has been updated to the latest version. This should
- eliminate the problem that some people have seen where the database
- file (/var/run/pppd.tdb) keeps on growing. Unfortunately, however,
- the new code uses an incompatible database format. For this reason,
- pppd now uses /var/run/pppd2.tdb as the database filename.
-
-
-What was new in ppp-2.4.2.
-**************************
-
-* The CHAP code has been rewritten. Pppd now has support for MS-CHAP
- V1 and V2 authentication, both as server and client. The new CHAP
- code is cleaner than the old code and avoids some copyright problems
- that existed in the old code.
-
-* MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) support has been added,
- although the current implementation shouldn't be considered
- completely secure. (There is no assurance that the current code
- won't ever transmit an unencrypted packet.)
-
-* James Carlson's implementation of the Extensible Authentication
- Protocol (EAP) has been added.
-
-* Support for the Encryption Control Protocol (ECP) has been added.
-
-* Some new plug-ins have been included:
- - A plug-in for kernel-mode PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)
- - A plug-in for supplying the PAP password over a pipe from another
- process
- - A plug-in for authenticating using a Radius server.
