patches/packages/network-scripts-15.0-noarch-19_slack15.0.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes a bug and adds a new feature:
Re-add support for the DHCP_IPADDR parameter from rc.inet1.conf.
Expand the help text for DHCP_IPADDR in rc.inet1.conf.
Add support for a DHCP_OPTS parameter.
Thanks to ljb643 and Darren 'Tadgy' Austin.
patches/packages/vim-9.0.1667-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This fixes a rare divide-by-zero bug that could cause vim to crash. In an
interactive program such as vim, I can't really see this qualifying as a
security issue, but since it was brought up as such on LQ we'll just go
along with it this time. :)
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
(* Security fix *)

The +convention in this man page is to refer to these shell variable array +definitions as "parameters". +.LP +Parameters with the same index number will all belong to the same network +interface. By default, index number `0' is used for the configuration of +interface +.IR eth0 , +index number `1' is used for +.I eth1 +and so forth. The default interface name can be overruled by the use of +the parameter +.B IFNAME. +.LP +This is what a typical section of the file looks like for an interface, +showing all parameters with the index number `0': +.LP +.br +# IPv4 config options for eth0: +.br +IPADDRS[0]="" +.br +USE_DHCP[0]="" +.br +# IPv6 config options for eth0: +.br +IP6ADDRS[0]="" +.br +USE_SLAAC[0]="" +.br +USE_DHCP6[0]="" +.br +# Generic options for eth0: +.br +DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]="" +.LP +Alternatively, here is an example for an interface that uses static +IPv4 addresses, an autoconfigured IPv6 address, and a non-default name +.RI ( ath0 +instead of +.IR eth1 ). +The parameter index is `1' in this case. +.LP +.br +IFNAME[1]="ath0" +.br +# IPv4 config options for ath0: +.br +IPADDRS[1]="192.168.1.10/24 10.0.0.10/8" +.br +USE_DHCP[1]="" +.br +# IPv6 config options for ath0 +.br +IP6ADDRS[1]="" +.br +USE_SLAAC[1]="yes" +.br +USE_DHCP6[1]="" +.br +# Generic options for ath0: +.br +DHCP_HOSTNAME[1]="" + +.br +# Gateway IP addresses: +.br +GATEWAY="192.168.1.1" +.br +GATEWAY6="" +.br +.SH EXAMPLE VIRTUAL INTERFACE CREATION AND SETUP +Virtual interfaces are created before any address configuration or bridge +setup is done, so you may use these interfaces as IFNAME or BRNICS values. +These can be tun or tap interfaces: adjust VIRTIFNAME and VIRTIFTYPE as +needed. +.LP +# Virtual tap interface example +.br +VIRTIFNAME[0]="tap0" +.br +VIRTIFTYPE[0]="tap" +.br +VIRTIFUSER[0]="root" +.br +VIRTIFGROUP[0]="root" +.br +.SH EXAMPLE BONDING INTERFACE CREATION +Link aggregation (bond) interfaces can be configured with the use of 3 new +parameters for use in rc.inet1.conf. The BONDNICS parameter should contain +the (space delimited) list of interfaces to include in the bond. The type +of bond is configured with the BONDMODE parameter, which can be any of the +supported mode types as found in the bonding kernel documentation found at +/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt. +.LP +The final parameter is a new generic IFOPTS parameter, which takes a list +of interface specific configuration options in a pipe (|) delimited list. +There are several module specific options which can be set with this +parameter, and they can be found in the kernel source documentation from +above. Note: it is +.B highly +recommended that you use at least the +.B miimon +option.

The key to the configuration is to use the +correct IFNAME setting for the underlying ethernet (or bond) interface and the +tagged VLAN ID that should be exposed. +.LP +Here are the basic settings to expose a VLAN with ID 100 on the eth0 +interface, configured with a static IPv4 address: +.LP +IFNAME[0]="eth0.100" +.br +IFOPTS[0]="" +.br +IPADDRS[0]="192.168.100.10/24" +.LP +The IFNAME of the interface contains the underlying ethernet device name +(eth0), a period (.), and the VLAN ID to be exposed. +.LP +Note that the underlying ethernet (or bond) interface does not need to have an +IP address to be used with the VLAN, but it can have an IP address if you are +also using an untagged VLAN. +.LP +The new generic IFOPTS parameter takes a pipe (|) delimited list of interface +type specific options, but does not need any options in order for a VLAN +interface to be configured. However, there are several VLAN specific options +which can be configured if required - these are documented in the ip-link(8) +man page (search for "VLAN Type Support"). +.br +.SH EXAMPLE BRIDGE CREATION AND SETUP +Note the added BRNICS parameter which contains a space-separated list +of the physical or virtual network interfaces you want to add to the bridge. +Note that the parameter index can not be a duplicate of that defined for some +other interface (e.g. eth0 will be index 0 by default). +.LP +IFNAME[5]="br0" +.br +BRNICS[5]="eth0 eth1 tun0" +.br +IFOPTS[5]="" +.br +IPADDRS[5]="192.168.0.10/24" +.LP +The new generic IFOPTS parameter takes a pipe (|) delimited list of interface +type specific options, but does not need any options in order for a bridge +interface to be configured. However, there are several bridge specific options +which can be configured if required - these are documented in the ip-link(8) +man page (search for "BRIDGE Type Support"). +.br + +.SH GENERAL PARAMETERS +This is a list of parameters you can set for any interface. +The example section is for `eth0' by default, i.e. +the parameters all have the array index `0': +.LP +# Config information for eth0: +.TP 25 +IPADDRS[0]="" +# Set this parameter to a space delimited list of IPv4 addresses and netmasks +to bind to the interface, The netmask should be in CIDR style separated from +the IP address with a /. E.g. "192.168.1.10/24 10.0.0.10/8". If the netmask +is not provided, "/24" is assumed. +.TP +USE_DHCP[0]="" +# If set to "yes", we will run a DHCP client and have the IPv4 address +dynamically assigned. +.TP +DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]="" +# Tell the DHCP server what hostname to register, e.g. "darkstar". +.TP +DHCP_TIMEOUT[0]="" +# The default timeout for the DHCP client to wait for server response is +15 seconds, but you might want a shorter or longer wait. +.TP +IP6ADDRS[0]="" +# The static IPv6 addresses for the interface. This option takes a list of +IPv6 addresses and prefix lengths in CIDR notation, in a space delimited +list. For example: IP6ADDRS[0]="a:b:c:d::1/48 1:2:3:4::5/64". +If a prefix length is not given (separated from the IP address with a /), a +length of 64 will be assumed. +.TP +USE_SLAAC[0]="" +# With this parameter set to "yes", the interface's IPv6 address will be +configured via SLAAC (also known as autoconfig), even if RA indicates +DHCP6 is available on the network. If SLAAC is not available on the +network, no IPv6 address will be assigned. If this parameter is unset or +empty, the interface will not be autoconfigured -- note that this is +changed behaviour from Slackware 14.2 and earlier. +.TP +USE_DHCP6[0]="" +# When set to "yes", use DHCP6 to configure the interface. This will +bring up the interface using DHCP6 if RA indicates DHCP6 support is +available on the network, falling back to SLAAC (if available on the +network), or will leave the interface unconfigured after a timeout. When +this parameter is set to "yes", USE_SLAAC[0] is ignored. +.TP +SLAAC_TIMEOUT[0]="" +# The default timeout for autoconfiguration to wait for the interface +to come up is 15 sec. Increase the timeout if a longer period is required +on your network. +.TP +USE_RA[0]="" +# If set to "yes", accept Router Advertisements even when SLAAC is disabled +on the interface. This parameter should almost never be required. +.TP +IFNAME[0]="" +# Use this to define configuration blocks for interfaces with non-standard +names. +.TP +HWADDR[0]="" +# Overrule the hardware MAC address (if supported by the network card) by +setting a new value here, e.g. "00:01:23:45:67:89". +.TP +MTU[0]="" +# The default MTU is 1500, but you might need 1360 when you use NAT'ed +IPSec traffic. +.TP +PROMISCUOUS[0]="" +# If set to "yes", enable promiscuous mode on the interface. +.TP +DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[0]="" +# If you do +.B not +want +.I /etc/resolv.conf +overwritten by the DHCP client, set this parameter to "yes". +.TP +DHCP_KEEPNTP[0]="" +# If you do +.B not +want +.I /etc/ntp.conf +overwritten by the DHCP client, set this parameter to "yes". +.TP +DHCP_KEEPGW[0]="" +# If you do +.B not +want the DHCP client to change your default gateway, set this parameter +to "yes". +.TP +DHCP_NOIPV4LL[0]="" +# When set to "yes", do +.B not +assign an IPv4 Link Local (IPv4LL) address when a DHCP server is not found. +IPv4LL addresses are in the range 169.254.0.0/16, and is also known as +.I `zeroconf' +address assignment. +.TP +DHCP_IPADDR[0]="" +# Request a specific IPv4 address from the DHCP server. Note that this is only +a request - the DHCP server may offer a completely different address. +.TP +DHCP_DEBUG[0]="yes" +# Make dhcpcd show verbose diagnostics. +.SH WIRELESS PARAMETERS +For wireless interfaces, several additional parameter definitions are available. +All these parameters start with the prefix +.B WLAN_ . +.LP +.TP 25 +WLAN_ESSID[4]="" +# Your Wireless Access Point's name, e.g. "darkstar". +.TP +WLAN_MODE[4]="" +# Set to "Managed" for use with Access Points. For a peer-to-peer connection +set this parameter to "Ad-Hoc". +.TP +WLAN_RATE[4]="" +# The transmission rates you want the driver to try, e.g. "54M auto". +("auto" means that bandwidth can be variable). +.TP +WLAN_CHANNEL[4]="" +# The channel to which the Access Point is tuned, or "auto" to let the +driver find the correct channel. +.TP +WLAN_KEY[4]="" +# Definition of a WEP key, e.g. "D5A31F54ACF0487C2D0B1C10D2". +.TP +WLAN_IWPRIV[4]="" +# Some drivers require a private ioctl to be set through the iwpriv command. e.g. +"set AuthMode=WPAPSK | set EncrypType=TKIP | set WPAPSK=the_64_character_key". +If more than one is required, you can place them in the +.I WLAN_IWPRIV +parameter separated with the pipe (|) character. Ssee the example. +.TP +WLAN_WPA[4]="" +# The name of the application that should be executed for WPA support. This +will usually be "wpa_supplicant". +.TP +WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="" +# Tell wpa_supplicant to specifically use this driver, e.g. "ndiswrapper". +If you leave this empty the "wext" driver is used by default - most modern +wireless drivers use wext. +.TP +WLAN_WPAWAIT[4]=30 +# In case it takes long for the WPA association to finish, you can +use this parameter to increase the wait time before rc.wireless decides +that association failed. The default is 10 seconds. +.SH DEFAULT GATEWAY PARAMETERS +These parameters, to set an IPv4 and IPv6 default gateway, are not +interface-specific and must not have an index number. +.TP 25 +GATEWAY="" +# The IPv4 default gateway, e.g. "192.168.1.1". This parameter should be left +empty when interfaces are configured via DHCP. +.TP +GATEWAY6="" +# The IPv6 default gateway, e.g. "fe80::1".
