configure: Allow overriding uname results
Use values exported from $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk for determining
the target system instead of the host configuration
In a cross compile setting it makes no sense to rely on the "uname" values
reported by the build host system. This patch allows overriding the
"uname -r", "uname -s" and "uname -m" results with the "UNAME_R", "UNAME_S"
and "UNAME_M" environment variables.

pppd: Allow specifying ip-up and ip-down scripts
This patch implements the "ip-up-script" and "ip-down-script" options which
allow to specify the path of the ip-up and ip-down scripts to call.
These options default to _PATH_IPUP and _PATH_IPDOWN to retain the
existing behaviour.

pppd: Close already open ppp descriptors
When using the kernel PPPoE driver in conjunction with the "persist" option,
the already open descriptor to /dev/ppp is not closed when the link is
reestablished. This eventually leads to high CPU load because the stray
descriptors are always reported as ready by select().
This patch closes the descriptor if it is already open when establishing a
new connection. It originated from the Debian project.

pppd: Fix creation of linkpidfile
When pppd is run without "nodetach" or with "updetach", the linkpidfile is
never created. The call to create_linkpidfile() is protected by a check for

pppd: Implement option to strip domain part from MS CHAP response
This patch implements a new boolean option "chapms-strip-domain" which
strips the leading domain part of the username in a received MS Chap
response.
When the option is set, all leading chars up to and including the last
backslash in the username are stripped. The option defaults to false.

pppoatm: Allow wildcard ATM devices
When operating pppd's pppoatm plugin with an USB ADSL modem, e.g. an
Alcatel Speedtouch, the ATM device number might change when the modem is
reconnected to the USB port or when the host controller resets the USB
device.
This patch allows to specify the ATM device as wildcard which gives
enough flexibility to cope with changing device names.
The patch originated from the Debain project.

pppd: Watch out for time warps

When the clock suddenly jumps forward, the internal accounting (connect time)

is detected, the internal counters are adjusted accordingly.

pppd: Do not clobber exit codes on hangup

to EXIT_HANGUP. This patch only sets EXIT_HANGUP if the exit status code is

The motiviation of this patch is to allow applications which remote control
pppd to react properly on errors, e.g. only redial (relaunch pppd) if there
was a hangup, but not if the CHAP authentication failed.

to link the full libpcap into pppd to generate the filters during runtime.
Two new options are introduced; "precompiled-pass-filter" specifies a pre-
compiled filter file containing rules to match packets which should be passed,
"precompiled-active-filter" specifies a filter file containing rules to match
packets which are treated as active.

pppd: Retain foreign default routes on Linux
On Linux, when pppd attempts to delete its default route it does not fill
the rt_dev field of the struct rtentry used to match the system default route.
As a consequence, pppd happily deletes any default route even if it belongs
to another interface.
This patch makes pppd fill out the rt_dev field so that only own default
routes are ever matched.

pppd: Fill in default gateway on Linux
On Linux, when pppd creates the default route, it does not set the peer
address as gateway, leading to a default route without gateway address.
This behaviour breaks various downstream programs which attempt to infer

This patch addresses the issue by filling in the peer address as gateway
when generating the default route entry.
