8 | Version 1.1.90 (Git) | 9 | Version 1.2, 2009-12-11 |
9 | 10 | ||
10 | Pies dubbed a GNU package. | 11 | * First release as a GNU package. |
12 | |||
13 | * Full inetd support | ||
14 | |||
15 | The program supports all types of services (including built-in | ||
16 | ones) and all types of protocols offered by the traditional `inetd' | ||
17 | utility. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The `inetd.conf' configuration file format is supported. The | ||
20 | `inetd' configuration file may be supplied either from the command | ||
21 | line (see below), or via the `include-inetd' configuration statement. | ||
22 | |||
23 | * Inetd replacement | ||
24 | |||
25 | A replacement script for inetd(8) is provided. It is fully | ||
26 | compatible with the traditional inetd command line, but offers | ||
27 | the flexibility and new features of pies. | ||
28 | |||
29 | * Configuration file handling | ||
30 | |||
31 | Several configuration files, eventually of different types, | ||
32 | can be specified in the command line. New command line | ||
33 | option `--syntax' declares the syntax of configuration | ||
34 | files that follow it, e.g.: | ||
35 | |||
36 | pies --config-file /etc/pies.conf \ | ||
37 | --syntax=inetd --config-file /etc/inetd.conf \ | ||
38 | --syntax=meta1 --config-file /etc/meta1/meta1.conf | ||
39 | |||
40 | * New keywords. | ||
41 | |||
42 | Component keywords: flags, service, socket-type, | ||
43 | max-instances, max-rate, qotd-file. | ||
44 | Global keywords: state-directory, include-inetd. | ||
45 | |||
46 | * New option --instance | ||
47 | |||
48 | The `--instance' option allows you to run several instances | ||
49 | of pies, each of them using separate configuration and | ||
50 | state files. | ||
51 | |||
52 | * New option --rate | ||
53 | |||
54 | For compatibility with inetd. | ||
55 | |||
56 | * Improved status output. | ||
