28 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
29 queries which include the specified address. No error is
30 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
31 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
32 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
33 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
34 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.

36 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
37 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
38 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
39 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
40 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
41 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
42 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
43 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.

51 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
52 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL

170 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
171 compiled with this enabled, with
172
173 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
174
175 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
176 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
177 statically with
178
179 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'

181 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of

183
613d6c52
SK
184 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
185 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
186 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
187 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
188 distribution. You should of course check that these are
189 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
190
191 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
192 dnssec
1ee9be4c 193
613d6c52
SK
194 to your config is all thats needed to get things
195 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
196 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
197 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
198 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
199 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
200 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
201 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
202 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
203 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
204 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
205 records, which significantly improve the performance of
206 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
207 DNSSEC in action.
208
198d940a
SK
209 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
210 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
211 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
212 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
213 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
214 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
215 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
216 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
217 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
218 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
219 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
220 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
221 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
222 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
223 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
224 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
225
226 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
227 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
228 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
229 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
230 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
231 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
232 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
233 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
234 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
235 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
236 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
237 henceforward will be complete.

c8a80487
SK
254 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended

272 Use random addresses for DHCPv6 temporary address

275
276 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
277 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
278 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
279 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
280 restarted, this bug disappeared.

285 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
286
287 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
288 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
289 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
290 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
291 work-around which exempted contructed DHCP ranges from the
292 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
293 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
294 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
295 contructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
296 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
297 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
298 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
299 IPv6 addresses of eth0.

329 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
330 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
331 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
332 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
333 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
334 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
335 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
336 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

352 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
353 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you

480 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
481 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
482 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
483 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
484 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
485 servers to be configured.
486
487 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
488 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
489 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
490 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
491 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
492 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
493 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
494 this idea.

869 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
870 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
871 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
872 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).

901 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
902 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
903 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
904 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
905 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
906 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
907 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks

937 desireable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
938 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
939 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
940 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
941
942 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
943 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
944 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
945 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
946 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
947 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
948 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
949 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
950
951 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
952 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
953
954 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
955 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
956 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
957 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
958
959 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
960 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
961
962 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
963 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
964 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
965 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
966 Agrawal for the patch.
967
968 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
969 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
970 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
971 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
972 per-network values. So
973 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
974 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
975 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
976 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
977 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
978 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
979
980 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
981 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
982 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
983 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
984 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
985 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
986 a comprehensive test-case.

1064 b) --keep-in-forground is set. The logging facility on the

1066 to John Hallam for the patch.

1072 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1073 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1074 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1075 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1076
1077 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
1078 transfer has completed succesfully.
1079
1080 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1081 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1082 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1083 which automatically creates
1084 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1085 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1086
1087 Tighten up syntax checking of hex contants in the config
1088 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1089
1090 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1091 thanks for that.
1092
1093 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1094 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1095 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1096 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1097 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1098 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1099 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1100 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1101 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1102
1103 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1104 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1105 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1106 set.
1107
1108 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1109 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1110
1111 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1112 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1113 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1114
1115 Edit
1116 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1117 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1118 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1119
1120 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1121 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1122 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1123 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1124 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
1125 override this behaviour by defining the sematics if the
1126 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1127 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1128 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
1129 of the address family which doesn't appear in --adddress
1130 So:
1131 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1132 --server=/google.com/#
1133 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1134 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1135 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1136 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1137 William for pointing out the need for this.
1138
1139 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1140 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1141 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1142
1143 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1144 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1145 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is

1180 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1181 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1182
1183 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1184 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1185 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1186 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1187 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1188 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1189 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1190 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1191 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1192 much less confusing.
1193
1194 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1195 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1196 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1197
1198 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1199
1200 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.

1206 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the

1210
1211 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1212 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1213 finding this.
1214
1215 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1216 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1217 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1218 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1219 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1220 server-override option.
1221
1222 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1223 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1224 allows a single line of the form
1225 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1226 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1227 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1228 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
1229 irrespective of the existance or lack of
1230 interface=<interface>
1231 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1232 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1233 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1234 configuration.
1235
1236 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1237
1238 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1239 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1240
1241 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1242 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1243 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1244 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1245
1246 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log

1253 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1254 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1255 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1256 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1257 this and testing the fix.
1258
1259 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1260 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1261 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1262
1263 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1264 upstream servers: this allows something like
1265 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1266 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1267 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1268 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1269
1270 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1271 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1272 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1273 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1274 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1275 work on this.
1276
1277 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1278 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1279 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1280 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1281 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1282 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1283 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1284
1285 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.

1287 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1288 than one server available for a domain, eg.

1300 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1301 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1302 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1303 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1304

1329version 2.52
1330 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1331 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1332 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1333 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1334 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1335 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1336 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1337 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1338
1339 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1340 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1341 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1342 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1343
1344 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1345 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1346 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1347 when dnsmasq is first started.
1348
1349 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1350 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1351 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1352 with certain clients.
1353
1354 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1355 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1356 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1357
1358 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1359 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1360 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1361 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1362 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1363 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1364 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1365 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1366 numbers delimited by dots.
1367
1368 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1369 to Joel Macklow for help with this.

1374 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1375 contrib/Solaris10.
1376
1377 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1378 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1379 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1380 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1381 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1382 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1383 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1384
1385 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1386 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1387 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1388 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1389
1390 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1391 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1392 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.

1442 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1443 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1444 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1445 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1446 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1447 suggestion.
1448
1449 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1450 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1451 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1452 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1453 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1454 a DHCP relay, if used.
1455 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1456
1457 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1458 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1459
1460 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1461 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1462 dhcp-option-force.
1463
1464 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1465 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1466 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1467
1468 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1469 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1470 the patch.
1471
1472 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1473
1474 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1475 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1476
1477 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1478 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1479 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1480 suggestion.
1481
1482 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1483 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1484 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1485 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1486 dhcp-optsfile.
1487
1488 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1489 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1490 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1491 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1492 suggestion.
1493
1494 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1495 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1496 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1497 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1498 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1499
1500 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1501 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1502 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1503 fragmented packets.
1504
1505 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1506 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1507

1530 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1531 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1532 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1533 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.

1574 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1575 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1576 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1577 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1578 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1579 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1580 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1581 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1582 and Michael Brown for assistance.

SK
1607 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1608 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1609 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1610 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1611 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1612 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1613 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1614 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1615 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1616 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1617 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1618 Krafft for the bug report.

1626 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1627 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1628 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1629 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
b8187c80 1630
7622fc06
SK
1631 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"

1660 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,

1666 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1667 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in

1669 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1670 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1671 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1672 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.

1676 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1677 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1678 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1679 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1680 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1681 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1682 dnsmasq.

1690 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1691 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1692 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,

1694 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).

SK
1700 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1701 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1702 a domain associated with each client, and only
1703 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1704 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1705 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1706 long as they are in different domains.

1734 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
1735 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
1736 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
1737 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
1738 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
1739 address to a host which has two network interfaces
1740 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
1741 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
1742 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
1743 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
1744 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
824af85b 1745
7622fc06
SK
1746 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
1747 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now

1829
1830 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
1831 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
1832 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
1833 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
1834 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
1835 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
1836 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
1837 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
1838 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
1839 suggestions.
1840
1841 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
1842 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
1843 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
1844
1845 Implement random source ports for interactions with
1846 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
1847 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
1848 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
1849 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
1850 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
1851 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
1852 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
1853 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
1854 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
1855
1856 Replace the random number generator, for better
1857 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
1858 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
1859 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
1860 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
1861 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
1862 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
1863
1864 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
1865 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
1866 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
1867 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
1868 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
