I've tagged and upload the latest LAT. There are a few new features in this release that I hope people will find useful. Be aware that I still regard this branch as the "unstable" one but I think it's probably more stable than the 1.0 series now - please let me know if you disagree. New features since 1.11 are: * llogin -r is an alias for llogin -R (easier to type!) * New moprc program for remote administration of terminal servers * llogin can now connect to passworded services using llogin -w * Split out Linux-specific code into its own class * Primitive, but functional support for DS90L terminal servers New features since 1.10 are: * Added -l switch to llogin to replace LF with VT * Document -d -v switch to llogin * Renamed PortSession to QueuedSession so it's less confusing * /dev/lat ports connect using LocalPort and localportSession so they can share connections. * Fixed spurious newlines generated by llogin -p New features since 1.03 are: * Can now handle multiple reverse-LAT connections via the same connection * Can specify a command to run (and user to run it under) for a named service. This release also has some portability bits added, all the Linux-specific code has been moved into interfaces-linux.cc/h so that people can port LAT to other Unix systems - BSDs seem to be a popular request. Note that it will probably not be me that does this porting but the new split should make this task MUCH easier for those that want to have a go. I will accept patches from porters. To use lat with a DS90L printer port you /must/ define the port as queued and put the node name of the server in the latcp -A -p command. You can't use llogin with DS90L printer ports. I hope people find moprc useful - I certainly do! Access to passworded services is currently only supported by llogin - if you want this to be available from /dev/lat ports then let me know. I regard this as a release candidate - if I don't get any serious bug reports for this release then I will upload binaries, add it to the debian archive and retire 1.03. patrick |
