suggestions. Hopefully it will get cleaned up over time (yeah,
right!).

- Telnet protocol should be improved
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- Not even RFC 854 compliant...or maybe it is (as of 8.1.0)
- Option negotiation semi-ignored - should we negotiate anything more?
2001-07-27 00:05:04 +00:00
- Others?
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- syslog?
2002-01-21 10:58:05 +00:00
Daniel E. Singer <des@cs.duke.edu> would like to see it - especially
in regards to --use-libwrap code
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- alternate (md5) password encryption support in conserver.passwd
2003-09-22 20:49:53 +00:00
- actually happens if the crypt() call supports it, like under linux
- hpux has bigcrypt() also, which we support, so maybe we're covered
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- config file examples for various configurations
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- sample conserver.cf has some...but it's not explained well
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- per-line timestamps
- only when not connected?
- pipe input/output (console <-> program) via 'console'
2002-03-12 09:12:20 +00:00
- some apps (net-ups thing, gdb) might need to talk to user
2003-12-02 16:40:59 +00:00
- ^Ec| does this, but the interact with user bits might not work
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- actually, ^Ec| does work right with 8.1.0...one change that might
be nice is the ability to NOT watch the i/o pass to the local
command - try sending a big file to the local host with xmodem.
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- autologout? setting per console? gack, would have to interpret data.
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- this will never happen...i don't want to interpret data
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- "listen" capability (watch all/multiple consoles)
2003-09-22 20:49:53 +00:00
- send data to multiple consoles (carbon copy) -
Steve Lammert <slammert@panasas.com>
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- authentication to terminal servers (ssh, passphrase, whatever)
2003-09-22 20:49:53 +00:00
- ssh should probably just be handled by invoking the ssh command.
so, that's really already covered, no?
- passphrase...hmmm..could really use some sort of send/expect
thing here. you could write a wrapper script of sorts, but it
really would be nice to have a raw socket and do the right thing.
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- this does work, using the 'initcmd' option, so, all done?
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- cyclades ts1000/2000 port : "Moses, Joel" <jmoses@deloitte.com>
- strftime() idea for logfile names : Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars@larsshack.org>
- 9600baud log replay?
- server -M flag should accept multiple addresses (comma separated)
- should client as well?
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- this may never happen...does anyone really need it?
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
2001-10-16 05:49:17 +00:00
- automatic log rotation in general : Egan Ford <egan@us.ibm.com>
2001-07-05 16:18:19 +00:00
- website docs on serial port configs
- PCs (solaris x86, linux, *bsd, etc)
- lilo
- bios support
2001-10-16 05:49:17 +00:00
- suggestions by Trevor Fiatal <trevor@seven.com>
- include server hostname on 'console -x' output
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- i think the -i output covers it, but maybe not
2001-10-16 05:49:17 +00:00
2002-06-05 22:06:43 +00:00
- ability to configure strings to be sent to a console periodically :
Greg A. Woods <woods@planix.com>
- show attach/detach events to/of spy console clients : Greg A. Woods
<woods@planix.com>
2003-10-31 18:15:09 +00:00
- redefine client escape sequence in conserver.cf : Toby Gerhart
<toby.gerhart@eds.com>
2004-02-10 15:26:45 +00:00
- not even sure if this is possible w/o confusing the client,
but maybe with the new 8.1.0 client-server protocol, we can!
2003-10-31 18:15:09 +00:00
2004-03-11 17:54:13 +00:00
- log rotation by date : Tom Pachla <tom.pachla@nlc-bnc.ca>

2005-09-05 23:15:33 +00:00
<Nikolaos.Papavassiliou@reuters.com> and Phil Dibowitz <phil@usc.edu>
2004-05-28 18:03:33 +00:00
2004-09-21 23:48:49 +00:00
- send sequences to console on client connect? (to repaint screen,
for example) : John Cagle <jcagle@gmail.com>
2004-11-09 09:34:27 +00:00
- uucp locks : Sebastian Zagrodzki <sebek@heron.net.icm.edu.pl>
2005-09-05 23:15:33 +00:00
- support more than 9 break sequences : Danish Mirza <Danish@lehman.com>
thought it was easy, but adding more than could break things with
current encoding. doable, will have to think harder about it.
- reintroduce console grouping : Martin Turba
<martin.turba@igd.fraunhofer.de>
2006-04-10 02:07:58 +00:00
- quick-recheck of down consoles (for uds) and possibly only log state
changes (instead of each try) : DJ Gregor <dj@gregor.com>
