ipband 0.8.1 13 Jun 2008
Debian Bug report - #363407. Changed integer type to hold cumulative byte count from
long to double to avoid counter overflow in reports.
Debian specific (Thanks to Giuseppe Iuculano):
No /usr/local/, man 8, no printf when runs in background,
don't fail to build if strtok_r is defined as a macro and change default MTA command
string for mailing reports.
ipband 0.8 02 Oct 2006
A seg fault issue is resolved when a non tcp/udp protocol is encountered during
report generation. Thanks to Shane Denovan for providing the patch.
Installation directories in Makefile can be specified using PREFIX, BINDIR,
MANDIR, SYSCONFDIR and RCDIR environmental variables. Thanks to Enrico Weigelt.
Added "-w" option (and corresponding htmlfile and htmltitle directives) to allow
generation of HTML report. Thanks to SHOREWALL TimeLord for providing the patch.
ipband 0.7.2 25 Mar 2002
Proper procedure is used to become daemon process.
Fixed a bug where a footer file descriptor was not closed (sic).
ipband 0.7.1 20 Feb 2002
Fixed a bug where getopt() return value was interpreted as char and not
integer. This could have caused problems parsing command line options on
systems where char is signed by default.
ipband 0.7 10 Jan 2002
Added "-T" option and "mtastring" directive to specify MTA command
string. The default is "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -ba" and now can be
overridden for systems that use other mail transport agents for mailing
ipband reports.
As a result, for security reasons call to popen() has been replaced with
a safer routine that parses the MTA string and uses exec() to start
specified program thus avoiding shell expansions. If ipband is running
setuid/setgid, these privileges are dropped before exec() in the child process.
Also added "-J" option and corresponding "lenadj" directive to specify
packet length adjustment. This can be used when layer 2 frame sizes for
the interface ipband is listening on and the interface we are measuring the
bandwidth for are different.
A bug in packet length calculation for non-ethernet interfaces has been fixed.
The bug was in the code inherited from ipaudit and resulted in a hard coded value
of 14 bytes (ethernet frame size) being added to each IP datagram regardless
of the underlying interface. That caused higher bandwidth usage being repoted
for ppp and raw interfaces.
Source code is re-organized for easier future development.
Some minor changes in error handling routines.
ipband 0.6 03 Oct 2001
Support for PPP and WAN (e.g. Sangoma cards) interfaces is added.
ipband 0.5 26 Sep 2001
Added "-P" option and "promisc" directive to enable/disable the
use of promiscuous mode on the network interface. A tiny signed/unsigned
issue is also fixed in the packed content debug dump code. Thanks to
Nic Bellamy for providing the patch.
Also added "-L" option and "localrange" directive to specify a range
of network numbers that are considered local and therefore packets
belonging only to these networks are processed. This can be used
instead of multiple "subnet" directives in the config file.
ipband 0.4.1 13 Sep 2001
Two bugs related to subnet mask calculation were fixed. One was preventing
using zero as a number of mask bits and another one resulted in 32 bits
being miscalculated as netmask 0.0.0.0.
ipband 0.4 12 Sep 2001
Option to include threshold exceeded accumulated time and percentage
in the report is added. This option works only with preloaded subnets
because otherwise subnet data is deleted when bandwidth usage
drops below threshold to clear memory and reduce processing time.
ipband 0.31 31 Jul 2001
Added a couple of include's to compile on FreeBSD
ipband 0.3 12 Jul 2001
'C' option added to ignore configuration file
Memory freeing when resetting default settings is now complete
ipband 0.2 11 Jul 2001
Report mailing option added
ipband 0.1 04 Jun 2001
Initial Release
