From b0fff0331121f48ec92440805aad4756123eb0e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Luzzardi Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2007 19:03:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Changelog -> ChangeLog --- ChangeLog | 181 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 181 insertions(+) create mode 100644 ChangeLog diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog new file mode 100644 index 0000000..971eba8 --- /dev/null +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -0,0 +1,181 @@ +* 0.4.0 +- Both pam_usb and its tools (adm, hotplug) have been redesigned from the + ground up and rewritten from scratch. +- Hardware recognition is now done through HAL which provides a stable + interface over kernel changes. +- Certificates have been replaced by one time pads. That will prevent + copies of the USB device to be used for authentication. +- Device's manufacturer properties verification. Pamusb now verifies + device informations (vendor, product, serial number, UUID) in the + authentication process. +- Configuration is now handled in a central place, the pusb.conf + configuration file. This XML file contains configuration entries for + users, devices and services. +- pusb_hotplug (formely usbhotplug) make use of DBUS signals (sent by HAL) + instead of kernel hotplugging. Also, its configuration has been merged + into the pusb.conf configuration file. +- A new tool named pusb_check has been added. It can perform authentication + the way the PAM module does. It can be useful for testing and scripting + purposes. + +* 0.3.3 +- The option keypath is now splitted into local_keypath and device_keypath. +- Fixed a bug that occurred when the TTY entry was empty. +- pam_usb doesn't get anymore the tty name from PAM_TTY as it used to be + empty on some systems. +- Better defaults. The default options have been set to fit most needs, + you are no longer required to use !check_device on 2.6. +- Verbose mode. By default, pam_usb now prints some informations during + the login process (access granted, the reason why access was refused, etc). + This can be turned off using the brand new 'quiet' option. +- Other small fixes. + +* 0.3.2 +- Now pam_usb will also try to autodetect /dev/sdN devices (not just + /dev/sdNX). +- Fixed a bug that happened when the application using PAM didn't set + PAM_TTY correctly. +- Added the use_first_pass and try_first_pass options. + Now if you enter your password on another PAM module (such as pam_mount + or pam_ssh), pam_usb will use that password to decrypt the private key. + +* 0.3.1 +- Lot of misc fixes (memory management, Makefiles, sanity checks, etc). + I'd like to thank the PaX Team who did almost + the whole job. +- Added the hostname option which allows to select what hostname should + be used for authentication (useful for shared public keys over lan). + Thanks to Nicolas Chauvat who reported the issue, + the idea and the patch for this feature. + +* 0.3.0 +- Not much changes in this version beside a gcc fix, but the 0.2 branch + reached too many new features so i wanted to name this release 0.3.0 + as i should have done with 0.2.3 +- Fixed a gcc 3.3 compile issue, and all related warning. + I would like to thank the following guys for having reported this bug so fast: + Lalande Fabrice + Marco + Neil Dunbar + +* 0.2.3 +- Added the usbhotplug tool. + usbhotplug is a hotplug agent that will automagically start a lock handler + when the usb device is removed and an unlock handler when the usb device + is plugged back in and authenticated through pam_usb. + + The default handlers will start xlock when the usb device is removed, + and will kill it when the usb device is plugged back in and authenticated. + + I'd like to thank Wout Mertens as we had a couple + of discussions about hotplug which helped me implementing this tool. + +- The parser can now understand "option" and "!option" instead of + option=1 and option=-1 (e.g. debug !check_device). + Thanks to Jean-Christophe JASKULA who + suggested me that and provided an initial patch. + +- Fixed a loop bug on serial number checking. Thanks to Zs + for reporting the bug and a patch to fix it. + +- Added the direct_open option which allows to open the private key + using O_DIRECT to avoid disk caching (works only on devices that + supports it). Thanks to myles who suggested me that. + +- Added some sanity checks here and there because it seems that the PAM + API can return weird stuff from time to time. + +- Handling the mount point creation/remotion in a better way which seems + to fix a couple of mntpoint problems. + +* 0.2.2 +- Added the keep_mounted option, which allows to not umount the mount point + once logged (useful if the gpg/ssh key is stored on there) + +- Fixed the mntpoint option: do not delete the directory if it's not a + temporary one. + +- Added the support to pass multiple filesystems name with the fs= + option (comma separated list). Changed the default fs to "ext2,vfat" + +- Added the log_file option. Takes a filename as a argument. + Combined with debug=1 it can log debug messages to a file. + +- Not mounting the device as read-only anymore. Instead, the mount_opts + option has been created. It accepts a comma separated list of mount + options (accepted options are: ro,bind,sync,remount,nosuid,noexec,nodev). + +- Fixed an issue which made the allow_remote feature not working correctly + with gdm/kdm. + +- Introduced the local_hosts and local_consoles options. They contain a + comma separated lists of hosts and consoles allowed to log in while using + allow_remote=-1 + +* 0.2.1 +- Changed the naming method from x.y to x.y.z + +- pam_usb is now able to distinguish local users from remote (as in + logged via ssh), and denies the authentication of non-local users. + Setting allow_remote to 1 disable this feature. + +- Mounting is now done in read-only. + +- Added the missing mandatory PAM functions. + +* 0.2_rc2 +- Workaround to make pam_usb not use /proc so it can run on Linux 2.6 + By setting check_device to -1, pam_usb will neither check the device's + serial number, nor if it's attached. It's not a real problem if you + don't need serial number checking, but don't combine it with + check_if_mounted. + +- Added the force_device capability. Now you can specify a device that + will be mounted without going in guessing mode. If the device cannot + be mounted, it'll switch back to the default guess mode. + Useful if guess mode fails, if you don't want it to try several + devices before getting the right one (so you can login faster), or if + you want to login using a floppy disk, a cdrom or whatever you want. + +- Modified the serial number authentication method so now if no serial + numbers are avaible on a device, it will try to use the GUID. + Thanks to Damien Braillard who reported the + issue, suggested a way to fix it, and provided a first patch for it. + +* 0.2_rc1 +- Radically changed the way pam_usb authenticates the user on the + system. Now it works with a pair of DSA keys. + + Thanks to Wout Mertens who told me that i could + use a couple of SSH keys to fix the authentication issue. + That gave me the idea to use a set of private/public keys. + + Thanks to Ilkka Mattila who helped me to + find out a better way to implement the key challenge: extracting the + public key was inadequate. + + Also thanks to those who brought up weird scenarios and/or tested + pre-releases of pam_usb, in alphabetical order: + + Ilkka Mattila + Joonas Kortesalmi + Thomas Stewart + Tuure Laurinolli + +* 0.1: +- Now pam_usb doesn't require a mount point. Instead, it creates + a temporary directory under /tmp. + Thanks to Loic Jaquemet who gave me the idea. + +- Compiles with gcc 2.95 thanks to Tobias Bayer bug + report. + +* 0.1-beta2: +- procfile and device entries autodetection have been fixed thanks to + Thomas Stewart bug reports. + +- devfs support added. Thanks to Loic Jaquemet + for the bug report. + +* 0.1-beta1: +- Initial release
