Brief history of changes made to this software:

March 1997 to present - FWTK 2.0+

Add "pdf" to list of binary file types in http-gw

Fix typo in syslog.c that was causing builds to fail
when USE_UDP_SYSLOG defined

Fix syslogd signal handling botch that leads to syslogd
crash.

Correct SYSV switching in smap to remove wait3() reference

Fix off-by-one check in syslog

Fix skey prompting

Fix authsrv "onetime" parsing/setting

Correct tn-gw daemon argument processing

Fix hostmatch() core dump

Read plug-gw rules using service name, then "plug-gw"

Fixes since 2.0a beta:

Add patches for AIX 3.x from Pavel P. Zabortsev <ppz@cdu.elektra.ru>

Fix plug-gw service name rules to look for "plug-gw" lines if
there's no service name lines.

Fix various compile warnings and typos found during test.

September, 1996 to January 1997- FWTK 2.0
Fixes to Linux makefile configuration to try to support
more variants of Linux. (Especially the dbm library.)

Clean up README references - especially to suggested mail
addresses.

Fix authadduser.sh argument order (the "password" command was
reversed.)

Always warn when authdump/authload can't read netperm-table.

Fix syslog() calls to limit string lengths to avoid buffer
overflows.

Fix several buffer termination bugs in authload

Fix command abiguity bug in authmgr/authsrv

Remove gets() call in authmgr (replace with fgets() call)

Fix buffer overflow possibility in authmgr password change

Rationalize authsrv time checking code

Fix "enable user one-time" command

Fix wizard checking in list commands so it works as expected
(group wizards can check their group only.)

Clean up authsrv client IO module

Fix authsrv database routines to open/close when necessary;
make sure files are closed when done.

Add SCO5 and OSF/1 conditionals and configuration files

Allow ftp-gw to be a daemon on other than the normal FTP port

Fix ftp-gw telnet options processing for IAC IAC, etc.

Add additional characters to the http-gw reserved list
(characters that http-gw doesn't change in URLs.)

Change all http-gw FTP users to "http-gw@host".

Add "%m" to several http-gw error reports so more detail is available

Fix netperm-table reader so an unterminated last line in the
netperm-table is not fatal

Add hostname length checking in DNS calls

Fix character set bugs in enargv(); correct several parsing
errors.

Improve portability of getpassword() code

Don't allow empty string to map to UID 0 (root)

Fixes for syslog() overflow bugs - make buffer static (not on
the stack), increase buffer size. On overflow bail out.

Fix port handling in plug-gw so that the target port number is
not overwritten

Fix plug-gw destination permit handling

Fix smap message limit code (552, not 550).
Correct smap end-of-message handling.

Change smapd child handling to not use SIGCHLD - poll
when processing messages instead.

Properly parse addresses (including route addresses) for
bad formats. Allow "/" with following whitespace.

Allow "-daemon" for telnet-gw to permit listening on other
ports (not just 23).

Fix telnet options processing

Fix invalid timeout handling in tn-gw (don't change the timeout).

Don't allow tn-gw options buffer to overflow

Remove "mercury.hsi.com" from deny-summ.sh reporting script.

Centralize configuration differences in Makefile.config and provide
example copies for BSD/OS, SunOS, Solaris, HPUX.

Update BSD "fixmake" script to reference Makefile.config, not insert
it (so that edits to Makefile.config don't require a redundant
fixmake unfix;fixmake pass).

Fix porting problems on Solaris, HP-UX.

Apply authsrv bug to permit extended auth to work

Fix ftp-gw messages to remove extra null character

Correct ftp-gw deny message to log then correctly report the
denial to the client

Handle multi-homed hosts in connects (try each address until one
works).

Allow all proxies to run as daemons (no longer need to use inetd)

Add strerror() and inet_ntoa() source to libfwall directory for
systems that don't have them.

Fix SMAP to allow multiple deliveries in a single transaction.

Correct SMAPD error/exit handling.

Make peername() return non-zero on failures.

Remove duplicate entries in ftp-gw operations table.

Feb 21 - Nov 5, 1994 - Fixes to V1.2
-------------------------------------

Added DISCLAIMER -- READ it.

Added much better header parsing code to smapd (by Wietse Venema)

Added http proxy

Added X-windows gateway, and x-gw option in tn-gw and rlogin-gw

Took out the "loghost" option in syslog.c

Modified smapd to do more sensible things with its queue. It
will now keep a limited number of children going at a time,
and will not completely bury the system on startup after a
delay.

Fixed netperm-table reading code to handle all blank lines.

Fixed timeout code in ftp-gw to be more forgiving of systems
that decrement the passed timeout value.

Revamping of Makefiles to include a master Makefile.config.
Please see comments in Makefile.config.

Added ip-options detection based on 4.4bsd sources for rlogind.

Moved the "struct direct" configuration option for smapd into
firewall.h -- see the comments near where it says DIRECT_STRUCT

Added improved(I hope!) options negotiation that works better
with TN3270 and other telnet clients.

Added checksum printing code to snkkey.c

Moved the smapd compile directive to scan for bad addresses
to firewall.h -- see the comments near where it says
SMAPD_SCANBADADDR

Clarifications: system log entries now are tagged with
relevance strings for sorting and searching. If the system
log entry contains the word:
"securityalert" -- it's probably something you want to know about
"fwtkcfgerr" -- a firewall toolkit component thinks it is misconfiged
"fwtksyserr" -- something in how the fwtk uses the O/S failed in
a mission-critical way
Using facilities and levels would be easier but this guarantees
that other system alerts won't clash with toolkit notices.

Changed Makefiles to rely on top-level FLAGS and AUXLIBS
parameters. This makes it easier to add global system
libraries such as -lresolv or -lsocket, etc.

Updated README

Fixed ordering bug in search for permitted destinations
in cmd_passthrough() of ftp-gw

Fixed byte count not getting updated by tn-gw when in
raw mode

Fix to reset curbytes and currecip in smap upon start
of new message body (DATA command)

Added FWTK_VERSION string to firewall.h and included a
reference to it in lib/config.c, which is linked into
just about all components of the toolkit. Do a:
strings file | grep -i toolkit
to extract it

Fixed minor pointer problem with "localhost" mapping in ftp-gw

Added deny connect logging to tn/rlogin/ftpgw

Added ftp-gw summarizer

Fixed minor problem in auth/db.c where it failed to check for
an already closed db in authload

Added authdump and authload to "make install" target for auth

Fixed loop drop-out in tn-gw where it failed to let you change
your s/key password [Remy.Giraud@meteo.fr]

Modified ftp-gw to exit and log an error if given improper
configuration options.

Made authsrv log at LFAC instead of LOG_USER

S/key challenge now uses spaces instead of quotes, for termkey
users. (nmh@thumper.bellcore.com)

Revampment of reporting scripts in tools/admin/reporting


Oct 29, 1993 - Feb 17, 1994 - Fixes to V1.1
-------------------------------------------

Added a general purpose routine for setting out of band
signalling (HP/UX and SunOs do it differently). See
firewall.h

*updated* user's guide, admin guide, and overview slightly.

Support rand() interface for systems too crippled to use
random()

Changed mapu() to better named mapuid() and added ability
to set group values as well.

Included AIX authentication module to talk to auth server.
(Morten.Hermanrud@ibmuio.uio.no)

Added support for Enigma Logics Silver Card. (AUTHPROTO_ENIGMA)

Updated version numbers in rlogin-gw, smap, tn-gw, ftp-gw.

Changed smapd to fopen() files with "r+" -- System V
file locking requires [at least on SCO] seekability
on the file. smap does not share this problem if
using the provided version on mkstemp().

Removed unnecessary berklisms (fchmod and ftruncate) from
smap in an attempt to make it more agreeable to sysV machines.

Fixed minor oversight in options processing in oktotalkto()
in tn-gw

Fixed array offset bug in stash_option in tn-gw

Fixed "password" length compares in source and docs

Added update to securid client side to work with latest ACE software

Fixed ftpd to not permit users without password entries to attempt
to login

Added hook into ftp-gw to check for command argument to treat
as a username. This, combined with an ftpd that supports it permits
ftpd to exec the ftp-gw if it finds an '@' in the user name.
Added changes to the user() command in the ftpd in tools/server/ftpd

Added "user@" through proxy to explicitly mean "localhost"

Added logic to strip first null byte if first byte is null going
through telnet proxy. This appears to be a bug in some versions
of telnet, but the exact nature of it remains unknown. The null
byte was confusing to some telnet servers, so this appears to be
an effective, inexpensive, though somewhat ad hoc patch.

Fixed login-sh to set $SHELL environment variable

Removed truncation bug in tn-gw that chopped long destination
names at 20 chars

Fixed an exit(1) in login-sh that should have been return(1)

Added welcome banner to rlogin-gw


Oct 22-29, 1993 - Fixes to V1.0
-------------------------------
Fixed synchronization problem with how FTP proxy talks to
the authentication server.

Changed all proxies that use authentication (rlogin-gw, tn-gw,
ftp-gw) to exit if they have an incorrectly configured option.
This was deemed proper, since if someone wants to configure
authentication, and doesn't get the syntax correct, the proxy
should fail to work at all, rather than working without using
authentication.

Changed rlogin-gw to reset local user identity to whomever the
user authenticated as, if using authentication server.

Fixed local/global declaration of confp in crypto/cliio.c

Re-arranged parameter order for password command in authsrv to
match order of other commands. Somewhat beefed up diagnostic
messages.

Major revamping of how tn-gw lies to the client. No more timers
and all that stuff. I don't know why I didn't think of doing it
this way before. Works lots better.

Made the FTP proxy a little more flexible in its handling of
responses to challenges. It turns out that challenges with
whitespace in them make some FTP clients unhappy, which
raised all manner of quoting issues.

Made FTP proxy handle "USER" command more sensibly with
authentication, to replace the somewhat awkward "quote auth user"
approach.

Updated docs. Added words on rlogin proxy to user's guide.
Adjusted man pages.

Removed logentry and logfile options from smap and netacl.
Everything should use one logging mechanism: syslog.

Fixed return() that should have been continue; in login-sh,
which caused it to exit on comments.

Fixed handling of "baddir" in smapd.

Changed auth server issuance of bogus challenge to be optional.
This means that the auth server protocol now must recognize
that the responses to an "authenticate username" may now be:
password
challenge challengestring
<other text>
Where the other text is some form of error message. This change
was reflected in tn-gw, rlogin-gw, ftp-gw, ftpd, and login-sh
as well as the documentation.

Added comment to auth protocol, to permit proxies to give
better logging information to the server. Now all proxies
send:
"authorize username 'comment'"
which is logged. This entailed changes to authsrv and all
clients. Change is backwards compatible with existing code.

Added out of band signal support to rlogin-gw so that window
size changes now propagate correctly. Note that some systems
without fcntl F_SETOWN will now have to adapt code.

Added hooks to drop tn-gw into a "raw" mode when talking to
non-telnet ports through the proxy. This works OK with many
versions of telnet but some do not function properly because
they are broken in the first place (Sun's PC-NFS telnet
client doesn't map cr/lf right)

smapd's notion of where the sendmail executable resides is
now configurable.

Fixed offset bug in -dest !hosts in tn/ftp/rlogin-gw and documented
the '!' hosts feature (which was present but broken and undocumented
in V1.0)

Added more sample config files to config, including some samples from
TIS' bastion host.

Changed smap/smapd to no longer operate on publicly readable
files.

Added a sleep timeout to authentication failures (see "badsleep"
in the man page for authsrv. Instead of locking a user account
permanently, by configuring badsleep, you can disable account
locking, or set it to a 5 minute (or whatever) lockout.

Added "SCANBADADDR" option to smapd. If this is configured in
the smapd makefile, it will perform a draconian translation
of all '|' characters found in the message envelope (not header)
to '#' characters.

Fixed a bug in how "unknown" was processed.

Fixed conn.c to check rbuf != null, which caused a core dump. :(
