Release Notes for 3.1.1 --> 3.1.2

This document describes bug fixes and enhancements made to the PortMaster operating system between release 3.1.1 and 3.1.2. Release notes between 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 are attached below. This release note and earlier ones are available on ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/livingston.

Enhancements

  1. Added immediate disconnect when RADIUS sends a Reject with a zero length user message. No message will generate "Invalid Login" and a non-zero length message will display only the message. This is useful when the RADIUS server wishes to disconnect an un-authorized user without allowing for multiple login retries.
  2. Support for 4 or 16 megabytes of memory has been added. The PortMaster will auto-detect the physical installed memory. 70ns SIMMs are required, and there must be 4 SIMMs, all of them either 256K, 1MB, or 4MB. Mixing SIMMs is not supported.

Bug Fixes

  1. When using Frame Relay on a sync port FECN, BECN, and DE bits are removed from DLCI headers of Inverse ARP requests to properly glean ARP table entries from Frame Relay switches which assert these bits.
  2. Dial-in PPP users who refuse all forms of authentication are shutdown immediately after completing LCP negotiation instead of waiting for Carrier to drop.
  3. Partially open PPP sessions are now properly shutdown. This bug was introduced in Release 3.1.1. Sessions which completed the LCP and authentication phases and then did not complete the IP or IPX negotation were not being properly shutdown. The most common effect was that assigned IP addresses were not being released. This resulted in using out of range IP addresses in future address assignments.
