Hi all, There is a group of developers in SP region who have succesfully added some features to the existing ax25-utils package and other linux related packeges. Let me translate an e-mail message that I got from sp2ong (Walt Ogonowski). I may make some meritorial mistakes because I am not myself a developer: ----------------------------- [beginning of translation] Here is what we ( or SQ2FRB rather) have done: - passwords encoding added to AWZNode: MD5 (like in jnos) or random - splitscreen changed (known as ettylink) to allow automatic sending of login-name and passwords encoding in MD5, i.e. ettylink -l sp2abc -p secpassword 23 - telnet changed (known as etelnet) to allow automatic sending of passwords in MD5. i.e. telnet -u sp2abc -p secpassword - patches for TNOS 2.30 to support passwords MD5 (like in jnos) and random passwords (5 characters) - "call" changed (known as ecall): - to allow automatic sending of passwords in MD5 with '~p secpass' option - to allow automatic sending of passwords in MD2 with '~p2 secpass' option - beep toggling for incoming packets with option "~g" - Huffman compression toggling with the ~f option (this feature supported by DPBOX BBS) With the above you can have a compressed ax25 session with a BBS. (It can also be added to AWZNode). - TPP-Convers altered to allow for random or MD5 passwords to be stored in convers.access file. If your passwords exists the convers server will ask you for your paswword! This feature is particularly important in view of recent fake logins and by some people assuming false identities. - Huffman copression added to "listen" that allows you to monitor compressed frames - axspawn (in progress) with huffman compression and automatic sending of passwords in MD5/MD2. This is what we've got and I wonder whether the linux-hams community is interested in "SP Hams software":-). [end of translation] --------------------------------- I am not sure if this is of any significance to the future release of ax25-utils. If you have any questions try to contact the authors.
