Openresolv uses it, and Arch offers that package.
https://github.com/NetworkConfiguration/openresolv/blob/master/resolvconf.in#L108
has a -p

That's my best guess where this came from.  And then, since this is off
buried in 'contrib', "nobody" noticed it for years.

(I don't disagree with removing it, I just like forensics).

I quickly checked resolveconf on Ubuntu {18,20,21}.04 and Debian 9-11. 
Neither of them supports the '-p' argument.


I've checked Fedora 34, RHEL-{7,8} too, where I could not find any 
obvious alternative to the old version of resolvconf tool.  On RHEL-8 
and Fedora, systemd-resolved is available and provides a different 
resolveconf which targets to replace this old utility.  This replacement 
neither support '-p'.


This option got added in commit 3adf2f558e157ef508 back in 2010, but 
there's too little information why it was needed back then.  But given 
that neither relevant Linux distributions supports this option today, 
it's reasonable to remove it now.

Re: [Openvpn-devel] [PATCH] Avoid resending reset reply more than once per client packet

For the record: we have decided at the hackathon to drop this patch
for the time being, because we (Arne, Steffan and Max) came up with
a better approach.  Instead of "keep state after the first packet"
we want to move towards a syn-cookie like approach where the packet
is answered, and forgotten (= no re-sent because we do not even know
there was a packet).  Only the 3rd packet in the handshake causes
state on the server - and that confirms that the client IP+Port is
not spoofed.

[Openvpn-devel] [PATCH v5] Refactor early initialisation and uninitialisation into methods

2021-11-06 Thread Arne Schwabe
This put the early initialisation and uninitialisation that needs to
happen between option parsing and post processing into small methods.
