Update silc-server pkg to 0.8.4. Changes:
changes in silc-server package:
===============================
- upgraded to version 0.8.4
- added generic startup script for Solaris and Linux (i can't test it on
Darwin/Mac OS X because i don't have any.. please let me know if it works
for you. thanks)
You will need to copy ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/silcd to appropriate location in
your system and do neccessary actions to enable it.
e.g. Solaris: copy ${PREFIX}/etc/rc.d/silcd to /etc/init.d/ and make links
in /etc/rc2.d/, /etc/rc1.d/, /etc/rc0.d/.
changes in silc-server since 0.8.1:
===================================
* Fixed a bug in library where sending a bogus authentication
payload would lead to a crash.
* Fixed a bug in the fetch_logging() config callback.
* Drop root privileges when started in foreground. Don't drop them
if debugging also.
* Added better error logging in rekey protocol.
* Do not check public key types in SKE during rekey.
* Fixed the rekey protocol with PFS, which was totally broken.
* Fixed a negative refcount situtuation for the config context.
* Fixed memory leaks from config object.
* Added support for adding new connections to the server in rehash.
After rehash they take effect.
* Added support for changing the maximum allowed connections in
rehash. The number can grow but going smaller is not supported.
* Added preliminary checking during config parsing for a valid
public/private key and removed further checks in the code.
* Fixed silc_net_gethostbyaddr to correctly resolve by
address.
* Fixed the notify relaying to client. The HMAC to be used
with relayed packets ws wrong and caused decryption failure
at the client end.
* Fixed the silc_log_quick handling in the logging routines.
It didn't log quickly when it was TRUE. Also the flush delay
was set even if it was 0 in config file.
* Added support for changing key pair of the server in rehash.
* Fixed the TOPIC_SET notify to not crash. It changed the topic
too early, before getting the channel entry.
* Added rehash support. Added function silc_server_rehash() that
will perform all the basic tasks of the rehashing procedure.
* Added command line option `-x, --hexdump'. This will enable the
SILC_LOG_HEXDUMP calls that are no longer enabled with `--debug'.
The option `--hexdump' implies `--debug'.
* Fixed a bad bug in the logging APIs (silcutil library) where
the application would crash after calling silc_log_reset_all().
