|
||
|
||
Important:
|
||
|
||
The server authentication procedure is a port from wu-ftpd.
|
||
Review user authentication procedures for possible security
|
||
hazards. Check 0-Termination of received string parameters.
|
||
|
||
Make eftp usable by none-root users. Network interfaces and
|
||
X.25 routes are needed to be set up before the isdn connection
|
||
can be set up, which is currently done by the eftp.sh shell script
|
||
which needs to be run from root. The latter is not acceptable for a
|
||
general purpose release.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Not showstoppers, but should be done before a possible stable release:
|
||
|
||
- more casefix testing with new mangeling method
|
||
- selectivly and automatically (for filesystems not supporting
|
||
symlinks) disallow symlink-based transfer name database
|
||
lookup
|
||
- certain disconnect scenarios result in error/warning
|
||
messages which are harmless, but might confuse novice users.
|
||
- improve autoconf readline support (support non-default
|
||
locations of libreadline and lib[n]curses).
|
||
- integrate source tree to isdn4k-utils CVS repository.
|
||
- 'make install', with reasonable default config files.
|
||
- make eftp command input working when stdin is a pipe.
|
||
- autoconf is somewhat ugly as several configuration variable
|
||
are passed to the source files by different channels
|
||
(config.h, -D option) and name schemes are inconsistent.
|
||
- scan all source files for FIXME/XXX/#if 0 labels and
|
||
try cleaning this up.
|
||
- improved event logging (with error indications and
|
||
distinction of successful/failed requests).
|
||
- improved parameter logging within events (handle unset
|
||
parameters nicer).
|
||
|
||
Currently, when requesting establishment of association and access
|
||
regime, the parameters in the corresponding positive response are
|
||
not evaluated properly. This might leed to inconsistencies between
|
||
the peer's and our own idea of those protocol parameter settings.
|
||
|
||
To do: Review and improve those regime establishment (and release)
|
||
processing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Currently, exception and error events are often not dealed with
|
||
or generated properly. Error events are not counted. Thus, this
|
||
implementation might fail if certain error conditions occur.
|
||
|
||
To do: Review and improve error handling
|
||
|
||
|
||
Currently the CI field of the result/reason parameter of received
|
||
T-response-pos/neg is not allways checked for matching the corresponding
|
||
command CI.
|
||
|
||
To do: Check and implement appropriate exeception actions if
|
||
mismatch is detected.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Currently the file header is neither analysed nor processed
|
||
(just stripped) when files are received.
|
||
|
||
To do: Analyse file headers and implement appropriate actions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Currently, certain ETS 300 075 services (in particular T_Delete, T_Rename,
|
||
T_Read_Restart) are not supported. The supported
|
||
services don't support all (optional) paramaters. Thus, the corresponding
|
||
Eurofile services are not supported, either (in particular no
|
||
deletion nor renaming of files).
|
||
|
||
To do:
|
||
|
||
Enhance protocol processing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Not urgent at all, might take care of after the first stable release
|
||
if anybody is interested:
|
||
|
||
For future portability to non-posix system, consider implementing a
|
||
tdu_stream object which is based on standard C file handles
|
||
instead of unix file-descripters. This might also improve performance
|
||
due to internal buffering.
|
||
|
||
The eftp client provided with eftp4linux is a rather primitive
|
||
front end (this is intentinoal) to the eft protocol library's
|
||
client code.
|
||
|
||
To Do: write more user friendly client front ends. Or even better,
|
||
add eurofile support to existing user tools (i.e. mozilla,
|
||
GUI file managers) or write an eft-http gateway by means
|
||
of the eftp4linux core library.
|
||
|
||
Support other authentification methods (PAM comes to mind)
|
||
|
||
|
||
And the "to do" list is incomplete as well.
|
||
|
||
Meta to do: Enhance "to do" list.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Supplement by ms@msdatec.de:
|
||
|
||
Until nobody complains, in short form and in German:
|
||
|
||
- <20>ber Konfiguration durch /etc/isdn/eftd.conf nachdenken
|
||
- einkommende Dateien sch<63>tzen
|
||
- Log- von Debug-Infos trennen, Loginfos sollen statistikf<6B>hig sein
|
||
- how2 schreiben
|
||
- NEWS-File
|
||
- "install" in "Makefile" implementieren
|
||
- Versionsnummern von Protokollimplementation, eftd und eftp trennen.
|
||
- Sollte das pid-file nicht von eftd selbst gesetzt/geloescht werden?
