New features in version 2.2 include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o A new "td" tag allows the specification of a "TFTP directory" for use
|
||
|
|
with so-called "secure" implementations of tftpd which chroot(2) to a
|
||
|
|
particular directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o A new "sa" tag allows the explicit specification of the TFTP
|
||
|
|
"server address." Formerly, the 'siaddr' field of the BOOTREPLY was
|
||
|
|
always filled with the IP address of the BOOTP server. The "sa" tag
|
||
|
|
now allows the BOOTP server and the TFTP server to be two different
|
||
|
|
machines, if desired.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The server now automatically determines whether it is running as a
|
||
|
|
standalone program (e.g. invoked by hand from a shell) or as a child of
|
||
|
|
/etc/inetd. The -s option and a new -i option are provided to force
|
||
|
|
standalone or inetd mode if necessary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o When the vendor magic cookie is zero, BOOTP replies now default to the
|
||
|
|
RFC 1084 vendor format, rather than the old CMU format. This helps
|
||
|
|
interoperability with uncooperative BOOTP clients which want RFC 1084
|
||
|
|
format but don't bother filling in the magic cookie properly to tell
|
||
|
|
the server... *sigh* (This makes the ":vm=rfc1048:" tag unnecessary
|
||
|
|
in most cases now. Oh, the "vm" tag now accepts "rfc1084" as well as
|
||
|
|
"rfc1048" -- they mean the same thing.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o Log messages now include the specific network type. For example, rather
|
||
|
|
than saying "request from hardware address ABCDEF012345", the message is
|
||
|
|
now "request from Ethernet address ABCEDF012345", or "request from
|
||
|
|
IEEE802 address 4000A1B2C3D4".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bug fixes in this version include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The automatic bootfile-size calculation now works correctly when the
|
||
|
|
file size is an exact multiple of 512 octets. It used to return a number
|
||
|
|
which was one 512-octet unit greater than necessary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o A bug in comparing subnet masks has been fixed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o A bug in calculating the size of the vendor information area when
|
||
|
|
inserting the hostname has been fixed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Other changes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The man page has been split into two man pages. One covers the server
|
||
|
|
itself (bootpd.8) and the other covers the configuration file format
|
||
|
|
(bootptab.5).
