2011-09-11Configuration can include other files.Ondrej Filip
2011-08-16The generalized TTL security mechanism (RFC 5082) support.Ondrej Zajicek
Thanks to Alexander V. Chernikov for the patch.
2011-05-15Update and document the privilege restriction.Ondrej Zajicek
2011-05-10Allows run with restricted privileges.Ondrej Zajicek
Adds option -u and -g to specify user and group. When different user (than root) is specified, linux capabilities CAP_NET_* are kept.
2011-04-28Use constants from /etc/iproute2/rt_* files.Ondrej Zajicek
2010-04-07Configurable syslog name.Ondrej Zajicek
Also fixes a bug in syslog initialization.
2010-03-17Adds check for no protocol and some minor CLI fixes.Ondrej Zajicek
- Adds check to deny config file with no specified protocol to prevent loading of empty config file. - Moves CLI init before config parse to receive immediate error message when cannot open control socket. - Fixes socket name path check and other error handling in CLI init.
2010-02-21Restricted read-only CLI.Ondrej Zajicek
Also adds support for executing commands using birdc <cmd>.
2010-02-06Adds some log messages related to configure.Ondrej Zajicek
Also fixes a bug in the previous patch.
2009-11-26Fix -p option.Ondrej Zajicek
2009-11-19Implement option to exit after config file parsing.Ondrej Zajicek
2009-11-13After shutdown, BIRD should have exit code 0.Ondrej Zajicek
2009-11-13Fixes BIRD socket unlink.Ondrej Zajicek
2009-07-14Fixes bug in CLI TX buffer management.Ondrej Zajicek
2009-06-19Adds support for soft reconfiguration.Ondrej Zajicek
2008-08-24Close fd of config file after reconfiguration.Ondrej Filip
2007-06-20Detach from the TTY properly.Martin Mares
2004-06-06Test old instance of BIRD.Ondrej Filip
2004-06-05Marked unused parameters in sysdep code as such.Martin Mares
2004-06-02Deleted useless rfree. (Socked was freed by cli_free())Ondrej Filip
2004-05-31Move CLI socket to the newly created CLI's pool.Martin Mares
(thanks to Andreas for the original idea)
2004-05-31Rewritten the I/O loop. All socket operations are now safe, meaning thatMartin Mares
you can delete the socket from anywhere in the hooks and nothing should break. Also, the receive/transmit buffers are now regular xmalloc()'ed buffers, not separate resources which would need shuffling around between pools. sk_close() is gone, use rfree() instead.
2004-05-31Fix handling on full pipe to client in bird. Prevent packet overflowsMartin Mares
for even only medium sized route table output. Fix a strange garbled output problem in the client. The latter seems to be caused by some library doing tcflush while there is still command output pending. So the best fix here is to do fflush and then tcdrain. Note that this problem occurs only under certain load situations and is not too easy to reproduce. (by Andreas)
2004-05-31*BSD port added. (Tested on FreeBSD and NetBSD)Ondrej Filip
2000-06-19If compiled with --enable-debug, don't even try to log to syslog unlessMartin Mares
the user forces it in the config file.
2000-06-09During initialization, log to both syslog and stderr. When a configurationMartin Mares
file has been read and it doesn't specify any logging, log to syslog only (if syslog is not available, then stderr).
2000-05-29Tracing of CLI connections/commands can be now controlledMartin Mares
by `debug commands <level>' in the configuration. Level 0 means no tracing, 1 means connections only, 2 includes all commands.
2000-05-29Support --version and --help.Martin Mares
2000-05-08Fixed type in daemonization code.Martin Mares
2000-05-08When not debugging, daemonize automatically.Martin Mares
2000-05-04#ifdef out lots of debugging information.Martin Mares
The long resource/routing table dump printed upon startup is gone now and if you wish to see it, just send bird SIGUSR1 or use the `debug' commands.
2000-04-27Fixed a couple of nasty CLI bugs which were triggered on long or multi-partMartin Mares
outputs. It took a whole evening to hunt them down, but now the CLI seems to work fine. Now I run three BGP connections with several thousand routes!
2000-04-26Changed handling of incoming connections, so that we can send dataMartin Mares
from the send hook without worrying about existence of socket buffers. Also, don't forget to copy peer addresses.
2000-04-01Changed initialization of protocol list -- now we call proto_build() insteadMartin Mares
of calling the protocols manually. Implemented printing of dynamic attributes in `show route all'. Each protocol can now register its own attribute class (protocol->attr_class, set to EAP_xxx) and also a callback for naming and formatting of attributes. The callback can return one of the following results: GA_UNKNOWN Attribute not recognized. GA_NAME Attribute name recognized and put to the buffer, generic code should format the value. GA_FULL Both attribute name and value put to the buffer. Please update protocols generating dynamic attributes to provide the attr_class and formatting hook.
2000-03-31Include "lib/string.h" instead of <string.h>. It should give us bzero()Martin Mares
and other non-portable functions on all systems.
2000-03-30Defined sk_close() which closes the socket safely even if called fromMartin Mares
socket hook. Replaces the SK_DELETED hack. Squashed a couple of bugs in handling of TCP sockets.
2000-03-12Fixed a bunch of FIXME's by removing them :)Martin Mares
2000-03-12Great cleanup of debug messages. LOCAL_DEBUG turned off in most modules,Martin Mares
several debug() calls converted to DBG().
2000-01-16Converted shutdown to a kind of reconfiguration, it's no more handledMartin Mares
as a exception in protocol state machines. Introduced a `shutdown' CLI command. Killed few reconfiguration bugs.
2000-01-16First attempt on dynamic reconfiguration. There are still lots of bugsMartin Mares
and problems to solve, but the hardest part works.
1999-12-09Added universal locking mechanism which will solve problemsMartin Mares
with protocols wanting to use the same port on the same interface during reconfiguration time. How to use locks: In the if_notify hook, just order locks for the interfaces you want to work with and do the real socket opening after the lock hook function gets called. When you stop using the socket, close it and rfree() the lock. Please update your protocols to use the new locking mechanism.
1999-12-08- Path to control socket is selectable via command-line option.Martin Mares
- die() when control socket open failed.
1999-12-06Logging is now configurable. You can define multiple log outputs (to bothMartin Mares
files and syslog) and assign lists of message categories to each of them.
1999-10-31The CLI I/O functions work as desired.Martin Mares
1999-10-29First steps of the Command Line Interface: I/O routines.Martin Mares
1999-04-02Believe it or not, printf()'s does not work too much without this one.Pavel Machek
1999-03-29Clarify resource dumps and include them in the main debugging dump.Martin Mares
1999-03-26Moved to a much more systematic way of configuring kernel protocols.Martin Mares
o Nothing is configured automatically. You _need_ to specify the kernel syncer in config file in order to get it started. o Syncing has been split to route syncer (protocol "Kernel") and interface syncer (protocol "Device"), device routes are generated by protocol "Direct" (now can exist in multiple instances, so that it will be possible to feed different device routes to different routing tables once multiple tables get supported). See doc/bird.conf.example for a living example of these shiny features.
1999-03-04Use dmalloc instead of EFence when available (dmalloc has lot of improvementsMartin Mares
over EFence and also hopefully smaller memory overhead, but sadly it's non-free for commercial use). If the DMALLOC_OPTIONS environment variable is not set, switch on `reasonable' checks by default. Also introduced mb_allocz() for cleared mb_alloc().
1999-03-03Rewrote the kernel syncer. The old layering was horrible.Martin Mares
The new kernel syncer is cleanly split between generic UNIX module and OS dependent submodules: - krt.c (the generic part) - krt-iface (low-level functions for interface handling) - krt-scan (low-level functions for routing table scanning) - krt-set (low-level functions for setting of kernel routes) krt-set and krt-iface are common for all BSD-like Unices, krt-scan is heavily system dependent (most Unices require /dev/kmem parsing, Linux uses /proc), Netlink substitues all three modules. We expect each UNIX port supports kernel routing table scanning, kernel interface table scanning, kernel route manipulation and possibly also asynchronous event notifications (new route, interface state change; not implemented yet) and build the KRT protocol on the top of these primitive operations.
