Freesco 0.32

Op het forum van Freesco vinden we de mededeling dat versie 0.32 van de gelijknamige software is gereleased. Met dit programma is het mogelijk om een softwarematige router op te zetten vanaf één diskette. Hiervoor wordt onder andere gebruik gemaakt van een aangepaste Linux-kernel. In het changelog lezen we het volgende:

• New stable DNS server dnsmasq version 1.12
  
• ISA PnP built in. This will initialize network cards and any other ISA PnP device.
  
• Added a lot of logging options.
  
• Some minor code cleanup and formatting to the control panel.
  
• Cleaned and condensed the rc_masq.
  
• Fixed dialin and nullmodem connections.
  
• Fixed PPPoE password problem.
  
• Fixed pkg command.
  
• Fixed the mv2hd command to allow overwrites without problems.
  
• Fixed the dyndns script so that it will update correctly with a new IP's. I also added a force command to the dyndns update. So that if there is a failure in the update system you can use "dyndns -f".
  
• Fixed the advanced diald options and added a new one for setting the first packet timeout.
  
• Updated the synctime to allow for failures not to modify the system, as well as repaired the logging format.
  
• Free space on the floppy is now 34k
  
• The kernel now has two additional patches. The icmp leak patch and the kernel part of mppe for PPtP users.
  
• Recompiled pppd for mppe support, still 2.3.11
  
• Added peerdns for dialup, PPPoE, and PPtP users. So that the ISP DNS servers can be assigned dynamicly. Rather than having to be hard coded into the setup. A minimum of one still has to be defined manually, but it is overwritten upon a connection if this is enabled.
