when we get eof, stop the loop immidiately and do not
rely on the read to eventually return an error.
when convM2S() fails to decode the message, error out
and stop the loop. there is no point in continuing.
it is now possible to configure additional interfaces (like wifi)
and store the network information while preserving old entries
in /net/ndb. this allows to easily switch from ethernet to wifi
and have dhcp configure dns without having to clear /net/ndb.
(ppp->secret comes from factotum and it can have any size)
This patch also sets the correct state after success and
failure cases in chap negotiation (without them the code was
working because it expected the other point to pass to net
phase or due to the timer).
p2.patch: Do not request encriptation with -c or -C in ppp
(it was a bit annoying request compression, and when the ACK
from the server was received then send a NAK).
p3.patch: Add support for md5 and mschap in in chap
(without this patch ppp was passing to the net stage
without worring about chap).

Hello,
While I was setting my pppoe conexion with my ISP
I discovered several problems in ip/pppoe. I used
the command line ip/pppoe -A '' ether0 and I got
this:
...

clearstate() is called in pppoe.c:424, and it frees acname and sets it
to nil. pktread() is called in pppoe.c:434 with parameter wantoffer,
which frees acname again in line pppoe.c:360 but doesn't set it to
nil, so clearstate() makes a double free in the next iteration.
the pcap files produced by snoopy had the wrong timestamps because it expected:
/* magic=0xa1b2c3d4 */
ulong ts_sec; /* seconds*/
ulong ts_usec; /* microseconds */
but we wrote:
uvlong ts; /* nanoseconds */
now, we write:
/* magic=0xa1b23c4d */
ulong ts_sec; /* seconds */
ulong ts_nsec; /* nanoseconds */
Tflush handling was wrong, we cannot respond to the old
request if we have not actually removed the req from the
in progress block queue.
when reads are issued concurrently, we have to set b->len
before the block is inserted into the inprogress list.
otherwise findblock() is unable to find it and no requests
can be queued on the block. this caused the same offset
to be downloaded multiple times.
set the errstr in getrange() so in case of an error, we dont
get some random previous error string.
we can improve performance alot by using webfs which
does http keep alives for us, so connection setup
overhead is eleminated.
fix 9p flushes and double frees.
werrstr() takes a format string as its first argument.
a common error is to pass user controlled string buffers
into werrstr() that might contain format string escapes
causing werrstr() to take bogus arguments from the stack
and crash.
so instead of doing:
werrstr(buf);
we want todo:
werrstr("%s", buf);
or if we have a local ERRMAX sized buffer that we can override:
errstr(buf, sizeof buf);
this is a work in progress implementation of the ayiya (anything
in anything) protocol as used by sixxs.net. hiro tested it and it
worked for him, but progress has stalled as sixxs.net rejected my
request for an account and ignored my emails since.
