Damien Miller33804262001-02-04 23:20:18 +11002- Grep for 'XXX' comments and fix

Damien Miller883631b2001-03-21 11:12:55 +11004- Link order is incorrect for some systems using Kerberos 4 and AFS. Result
Damien Miller771bbac2001-03-27 16:10:22 +10005 is multiple inclusion of DES symbols. Holger Trapp
6 <holger.trapp@hrz.tu-chemnitz.de> reports that changing the configure
7 generated link order from:
8 -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl -lutil -lkafs -lkrb -ldes -lcrypto
9 to:
10 -lresolv -lkrb -lz -lnsl -lutil -lcrypto -lkafs -lkrb -ldes
11 fixing the problem.

Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110013- Integrate contrib/mdoc2man.pl so platforms which only have the troff
14 'an' macros can have readable manpages.
15
Damien Millerb8b8ecf2001-02-08 10:47:43 +110016- Write a test program that calls stat() to search for EGD/PRNGd socket
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110017 rather than use the (non-portable) "test -S".

Kevin Steves55fb9a92001-03-19 14:58:47 +000019- Replacement for setproctitle() - HP-UX support only currently
Damien Miller356a0b01999-11-08 15:30:59 +110020
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110021- Handle changing passwords for the non-PAM expired password case
22
Damien Millerc7b38ce1999-11-09 10:28:04 +110023- Improve PAM support (a pam_lastlog module will cause sshd to exit)
Ben Lindstromc72745a2000-12-02 19:03:54 +000024 and maybe support alternate forms of authenications like OPIE via
25 pam?
Damien Miller356a0b01999-11-08 15:30:59 +110026
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110027- Rework PAM ChallengeResponseAuthentication
28 - Use kbdint request packet with 0 prompts for informational messages
29 - Use different PAM service name for kbdint vs regular auth (suggest from
30 Solar Designer)
31 - Ability to select which ChallengeResponseAuthentications may be used
32 and order to try them in e.g. "ChallengeResponseAuthentication skey, pam"
33
Damien Millerad833b32000-08-23 10:46:23 +100034- Complete Tru64 SIA support
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000035
36- Finish integrating kernel-level auditing code for IRIX and SOLARIS

Ben Lindstrom48b2f732001-01-08 06:20:38 +000039- sftp-server: Rework to step down to 32bit ints if the platform
40 lacks 'long long' == 64bit (Notable SCO w/ SCO compiler)
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000041
Ben Lindstroma15e39b2000-12-02 04:58:57 +000042- Linux hangs for 20 seconds when you do "sleep 20&exit". All current
43 solutions break scp or leaves processes hanging around after the ssh
44 connection has ended. It seems to be linked to two things. One
45 select() under Linux is not as nice as others, and two the children
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110046 of the shell are not killed on exiting the shell. Redhat have an excellent
47 description of this in their RPM package.

Damien Millerb8481582000-12-03 11:51:51 +110049- Build an automated test suite
50
Ben Lindstrom4d408d32001-02-06 04:03:33 +000051- Verify that It's safe to enable NGROUPS_MAX under NeXTStep for
Ben Lindstrom5d8520a2001-02-12 15:57:18 +000052 groupaccess features. (mouring@eviladmin.org)
53
Kevin Steves55fb9a92001-03-19 14:58:47 +000054- 64-bit builds on HP-UX 11.X (stevesk@pobox.com):
55 - utmp/wtmp get corrupted (something in loginrec?)
56 - no 64-bit vhangup(); ptmx systems shouldn't need this
57 - can't build with PAM (no 64-bit libpam yet)
58
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000059Documentation:
60- More and better
61
62- Install FAQ?
63
64- General FAQ on S/Key, TIS, RSA, RSA2, DSA, etc and suggestions on when it
65 would be best to use them.
66
67- Create a Documentation/ directory?
68
69Clean up configure/makefiles:
70- Clean up configure.in - There are a few double #defined variables
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110071 left to do. HAVE_LOGIN is one of them. Consider NOT looking for
72 information in wtmpx or utmpx or any of that stuff if it's not detected
73 from the start
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000074
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000075- Fails to compile when cross compile.
76 (vinschen@redhat.com)
77
78- Replace the whole u_intXX_t evilness in acconfig.h with something better???
79
Ben Lindstrom28bfc0d2000-12-18 19:58:57 +000080- Consider splitting the u_intXX_t test for sys/bitype.h into seperate test
81 to allow people to (right/wrongfully) link against Bind directly.
82
Ben Lindstrom4a1d9162000-11-21 10:45:31 +000083Packaging:
84- Solaris: Update packaging scripts and build new sysv startup scripts
Damien Millerdd97de72001-03-05 23:33:24 +110085 Ideally the package metadata should be generated by autoconf.

Kevin Steves55fb9a92001-03-19 14:58:47 +000088- HP-UX: Provide DEPOT package scripts.
