The first 2004 release is available...happy new year! There are a couple of slight changes, cleanups, etc, and one big change with the client-server protocol. The good news is I was able to send files via xmodem and zmodem from the client to the console using the ^Ec| syntax, which failed before the protocol change. I've also enhanced the telnet protocol code and I believe it will now operate properly with standard telnet ports. I hope everyone enjoys the new code and finds that it fixes any problems you might have seen. If not, please let me know what's wrong! version 8.1.0 (Jan 18, 2004): - fixes for HP-UX compilation - patch by Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com> - fixes for compilation under various operating systems - patch by Albert Chin <conserver-users@mlists.thewrittenword.com> - added a 'protocol' option for either 'telnet' or 'raw' socket communication - also reflected in -i output - changed the client/server protocol to use 0xff as a command character for sending control commands - similiar to the telnet protocol - improves the ^Ec| interaction - client -E option now disables ssl encryption attempts, useful for broken SSL environents - suggested by Graydon Dodson <grdodson@lexmark.com> - bad error message connecting non-ssl client with ssl-required server - reported by Graydon Dodson <grdodson@lexmark.com> - added note about pam configuration to conserver.passwd.man - suggested by Erik Sjolund <erik.sjolund@sbc.su.se> - improved telnet protocol option handling such that connections to standard telnet ports should work properly Bryan Stansell
