load balancing case.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed --terminate|--suspend|--force-terminate for
usermode case.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)

(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
18.08.2008 FreeNX 0.7.3 "Priscilla One Year Edition"
* Opened the 0.7.3 development.

(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added -nolisten tcp to nxagent invocation.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de, idea by pappy- (Gentoo))
* Used bash for all tasks as 'sh' might be not what we want
on standard ubuntu.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de, thx to tan (IRC))
* Finally fixed mv not working for failed or terminated
sessions.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de, Terje Andersen <terander@guard.zapto.org>)
* Added patch from 2005 to enable reconnect to 24-bit display via
32-bit or vice versa. Oops :)
(Sunil <funtoos at yahoo.com> )

(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added configuration key ENABLE_SOURCE_BASH_PROFILE for toggling of
sourcing ~/.bash_profile.

fallback.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed Makefile to stop on all errors.
(Idea by Hai Zaar <haizaar@gmail.com>, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Changed the default for ENABLE_PASSDB_AUTHENTICATION. If you had
added a user with different password via --adduser consider
re-activating this option in node.conf.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added constraints for passdb based commands. They are only available
when ENABLE_PASSDB_AUTHENTICATION="1" else a friendly error message
is shown. This should help with users using old tutorials.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added unix-console patch. Added default handler as unix-default with
a fallback to xterm,
(Idea by Jens Hatlak <jh@junetz.de>, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed external rdesktop keyboards: A "$" was missing.
(Bug by Phil Stricker <stril@gmx.de>, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added workaround for "ch" keyboard layout to nxdesktop_helper,
which NXClient 3.2.0 means as de-ch.
(Bug by Phil Stricker <stril@gmx.de>, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added clean target to Makefile.
(Based on patch by Ubuntu FreeNX-Team, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Use :0.0 if mirrorhost is 127.0.0.1 and add -localhost for
enhanced security. Also increase sleep timeout for slow machines.
(Based on Patch by Jeremy Wilkins <wjeremy@shaw.ca>, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Allow RDP "Run application" sessions to work correctly.
(David Corral < davefury@gmail.com > & the Silice Telecom staff,
fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Merge Xresources on startup of session.

* Finally fixed the bug when NX Client was stopped on "Negotiating
link parameters" and failed session after first session suspend.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed missing "fi" statement. In fact it was a missing ";;".
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Used source instead of "." for Makefile. (Closes: #13954)
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Allow passwords with '\' by changing read -s to read -r -s.
(Closes: #10699)
(Patch by rpfuller@bat.berlios.de, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)

agent_password. (Closes: #10248)
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed start/stop exit codes.
(Patch by Gentoo Portage, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Finally checked for all service ports. (cups, media, samba)
and also checked it on the host where the load balancing actually
leads to.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed broken fallback logic if SSH_CLIENT variables cannot be read
correctly.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Overhauled the usermode:
* There are now two modes of operation.
- One statically setting the
ENABLE_USERMODE_AUTHENTICATION key
in node.conf. (old behavior)
- Or using nxserver-usermode as startup
binary, which directly goes into the 103 stage.
* Fixed using commandline parameters like --cleanup
for static usermode.
* Enabled the root commandline parameters in usermode.
* Fixed usage of "nx" user as normal user in usermode.
* Disabled slave mode and load balancing for usermode.
* Fixed creation of the logfile directory.
* Fixed nxnode usage of SSH_CLIENT using fallback mechanism.
(Patch by nbartos@bat.berlios.de, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)

* Automatically disabled slave mode, when load balancing is activated.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Made ENABLE_SLAVE_MODE="1" the new default as its faster
and more reliable. If you encounter any problems with it,
disable it in node.conf.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Changed type for external agents to windows-helper or vnc-helper
so that those sessions can be mirrored / shadowed as well.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)

* Fixed the display of local sessions to display only
when session type is VNC.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed the issue that commercial NXClient was called with 0 parameters
and such the "Connection Wizard" came up.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added freenx-server startup script. You can make a symlink to
/etc/init.d/ to have it start automatically.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added catching of exception after failed nscd command.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Invoke curl with --proxy "" for automatic download of ppd files.

(cedric briner <work@infomaniak.ch>, fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed helpers (desktop, viewer) to honour the AGENT_EXTRA_OPTIONS_{RDP,RFB}
parameters set in node.conf.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed the default value for ENABLE_CLIPBOARD="both" instead of ' = '.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)

(Patch from Gentoo Portage)
* Fixed possible bug in nxserver when $USER is not set.
(Patch from Gentoo Portage)
* Set ENABLE_USESSION="1" option by default - its hard to find and those who know can
shut it off anyway. Added automatic adding of user nx to group utmp.
(Patch by Gentoo Portage)
* Added support for 3.1.0 and later backends. Made 2.0.0 backend the
default and added a fallback to 1.5.0 via the same detection mechanism.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added the configuration key ENABLE_PULLDOWN_MENU to be able to
disable the pulldown menu for rootless sessions.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed a small bug in nxserver when password has spaces at the end or
beginning.
(Dimitar Paskov)
* Fixed round-robin mode of load balancing.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added check for /tmp/.X11-unix/X*.
(Yves-Gaël Chény <yves-gael.cheny at tranquil-it-systems.fr>)
* Fixed --send|--broadcast for load balancing case.
Note: ssh is used, so you need to either insert your root ssh password
for the nodes again and again, use a public key + agent or use host keys.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added possibility to use the new nxsmb backend. This enables us to support
CIFS and SMB printing at the same time - without recompiling samba -
via the nxredir preload library.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added usage of nxredir library to forward port 139,445 to the
client side forwarded SMB port.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Made the slave mode finally functional. With that slave mode it is
possible to do a single sign on instead of the multiple logins used
before. It is also possible to use a suid wrapper to login as user.
With single sign on session startup is a lot faster. This is true
especially if there are many printers and files to be shared.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added detection of backend version and added this output
to version string.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added foomatic-ppdfile to the retested values.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added possibility to balance all nx services to different cores
using taskset. Use for example USE_PROCESSOR_TASKSET="3,4" to
balance all services to processor cores 3 and 4.
This wish was granted for Gregory Carter.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added initial code to add an application to an already running
rootless session.
Set ENABLE_ADVANCED_SESSION_CONTROL="1" and use session name
like "add <sessionname>". Unfortunately the client returns an
error, but the application is started anyway.
The wish was granted for Bernhard Donaubauer.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added option to disable the showing of running sessions.
Set ENABLE_SHOW_RUNNING_SESSIONS="0" if you want that behaviour.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Updated documentation in INSTALL file.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added nxviewer-passwd to distribution. It is a fork of the
tightvnc vncpasswd part, which is necessary for FreeNX to work
with standard vncviewer.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added a Makefile so FreeNX can be build and installed via.
$ make
$ # edit nxloadconfig to point where it should install to
$ make install
Hereby FreeNX is installed to where nxloadconfig points and
static paths in nxredir and nxsmb are adjusted accordingly.
So if you want it to be in /usr/NX/ be sure to apply
gentoo-nomachine.diff first or edit nxloadconfig manually.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added nxacl.sample component. If you copy nxacl.sample to
$PATH_BIN/nxacl you can make as complex acl scenarios as you
want. You have complete control over all data and can deny
any session.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
14.10.2007 FreeNX 0.7.1 "Hip Hop Edition"
* Fixed the issue that makes fonts look tiny and unreadable by default
with freenx and the commercial client. (diamond@google.com)

(diamond@google.com)
* Added better wording with less misunderstanding to dialog of
nxclient for Suspend/Terminate/Close case. (diamond@google.com)

not have Xdialog and since xmessage is very limiting. This new option
will work on any machine that has dialog and xterm.
(puterguy@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed the APPLICATION_LIBRARY_PRELOAD to be just a warning and fixed
the default path. (fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added drivers.cache.all that is reloaded just every 60 minutes.
(puterguy@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed missing services stop that lead to redundant mounts and still
running cupsd processes.
(puterguy@bat.berlios.de)
* Added support for mount.cifs additionally to the deprecated
smbmount. (fabianx@bat.berlios.de, puterguy@bat.berlios.de)

which server in case of loadbalancing.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de, Bastian Kames <kames@ibg-monforts.de>)

slow in case of huge databases like foomatic. (fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Removed bad -noautokill option from the nxclient dialog spawning.
(wayneb@bat.berlios.de)
* Added basic support for mirrored sessions.

* Added an outcommented way to also use "POSIX find" for history
cleaning.
(Peter O'Gorman <peter@pogma.com>)
* Fix ownership of $SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS in nxkeygen, just in case
it is run without nxsetup.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de, thx to sambiase on #nx)
* Fixed diverse occurences of $sess_id in nxnode, when hostname
contains whitespace.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Fixed setting up KDE_PRINTRC altogether if ENABLE_KDE_CUPS is not 1,
and handles errors better when it is but kde-config is not available
or fails.
(scop@bat.berlios.de)
* Changed unix:$display -> :$display to enable FreeNX usage with newer
xlib in C (used for example by Novell).
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Enabled 3.0.0 backend with same usage pattern as 2.[0|1].0 backend.
(Shawn Starr <spstarr@kde.org>)
* Bumped version number to 2.1.0-71 to let things like File-sharing
port and auxiliary channels work.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added parsing of aux parameter. This should remove all keyboard
related problems with nxdesktop with 2.[01].0 backend.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Renamed nxclient to nxdialog and setup the necessary environment
variable for nxagent to find it.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de, Thanks to NoMachine for giving this hint)
* Added experimental support for usage of external rdesktop and
vncviewer programs.
This is for example needed for 3.0.0 backend.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Changed the default load balancing algorithm to "random"
as the nxcheckload script might not be available.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
* Added ENABLE_CLIPBOARD="none|client|server|both" option
to node.conf to disable, restrict or enable the clipboard
synchronization.
(fabianx@bat.berlios.de)
