differences between 2.0m.5D and 2.0m.5C - November 12, 2020
-----------------------------------------------------------
These are refinements to the 2.0m.5C patch, but technically we need to
change
the version number to reflect this, a new 'update_jnos.2.0m.5D.tar.gz'
file.
1) New Robust Packet Interface (KISS over TCP/IP) to WinRPR Software
Actually starting playing with this on November 3, after getting a
packet
message from Jan (PA3GJX) saying it was available - this is very
exciting.
Had it working literally the same day, just a stripped down version of
my
AGWPE interface code. What is really important to realize here is that
the
new interface is a full blown AX.25 port, so you can do full packet
stuff
on it - just like HF packet.
For basic configuration and notes, please check :

For the WinRPR software download, please visit :
https://www.hamradio.me/graphs/WinRPR_Alpha_Software/
Post note : I started using WinRPR with NOSaprs shortly after releasing
the
new WinRPR interface. And so my system now igates APRS robust packet
traffic
heard on 30 meters, to the APRS internet system. At some point I would
like
to use WinRPR to do message forwarding with other BBS systems, we'll
see.
2) Important changes to the JNOS httpvnc (web based user BBS) service
Now using POST instead of GET in the form submission, so you won't be
seeing
any user credentials and commands in the URL anywmore, it's all hidden
in the
message body now. The original version had user callsign and password
exposed
in the URL which was just bad, but my knowledge of HTTP programming was
quite
limited at the time I wrote the original prototype. Huge security
improvment.
NOTE : Data is still cleartext over your network since this is HTTP ...
This version quickly shuts down those very annoying and bandwidth
consuming
favicon http requests that firefox likes to send out in huge volumes,
yeah.
Added a CTRL-A checkbox so a user can abort any SEND (SP, SR, SB)
commands.
Made adjustments to timeout values in the code, removed some pwait()
calls
which didn't seem necessary anymore, and now setting the 'Server:' field
in
the HTTP response header to reflect the more recent JNOS version 2.0m
...
Cleaned up debugging and general logging to the JNOS logfile.
3) Important changes to the SID Capture feature.
The original prototype was written more to help me debug stuff at the
time,
but I figured it might come in handy for others, but the last
enhancements
actually were not really great. In the interest of getting more
information
about the hosts connecting to us, the focus on the connecting callsign
was
lost, the information displayed was confusing, you had no idea who the
call
was in many cases, and it turns out in the end that I introduced bugs
into
the code, so the information at times was even wrong here and there.
This new version has a much better user friendly layout, and is more in
line
with what I originally wanted to do way back then. Now you get the
callsign,
the time of connect, the full SID sent to us, and connection details, as
in
was this a netrom connect, a radio port, a wormhole, telnet connect, etc
?
For example, on the JNOS console of my development system :
jnos> mbox sid > /tmp/sid8.txt
Then from the linux prompt, I can retrieve the content as follows :
root@slackware:/jnos/src/dev_2.0m.4# more /tmp/sid8.txt

4) Removed first column (gateway ip address) from the 'genencaptxt' file,
now it
matches the exact same format as a real encap.txt - already under RSYNC
area.
5) BIG OOPS - Brian (N1URO) had some TNODE mods that were supposed to be
part of
the version 2.0m.5 update, but I just discovered they were never put in,
even
though I had mentioned '#define TNODE' if you want those mods in play. I
have
made sure to add the source files to this latest update - sorry about
that.
