m0n0wall 1.2b2

Well, this is kinda old news, but m0n0wall 1.2b2 was released 10/24/2004. And I upgraded my firewall today.

Whats new (from the beta changelog):

* experimental OpenVPN support -> this will modify the optional interfaces configuration in your config.xml - backup first!
* Dial-On-Demand for PPPoE and PPTP on WAN
* added DHCP relay service
* ICMP type matching for filter rules
* PPTP VPN login/logout logging
* captive portal: a unique/random session ID is now generated for RADIUS accounting, and MAC filtering can be disabled for special topologies (e.g. routed clients); RADIUS accounting port can be specified
* increased filter state table size to 30000 entries
* RADIUS accounting for PPTP VPN
* HTML page titles now show the host name
* NAT table reset on WAN IP change
* changed racoon proposal_check back to obey after many problem reports; only remaining difference to 1.1 now: new SAs are preferred after 30 seconds -> please test and report
* magic shaper src/dst port fix
* TCP idle timeout for the filter is now 2.5 hours instead of the ipfilter default of 10 days (!) to keep the state table from filling up with dead connections; this value can be modified on the advanced setup page
* config backup: file name now contains FQDN and date/time
* fixed maxproc bug in mini_httpd that would manifest itself sometimes with the captive portal in HTTPS mode
* config.xml hidden options for interface media/mediaopt
* new hidden option "dnsserver" for DHCP service
* changed mfsroot size to 11 MB to accomodate DHCP relay and OpenVPN binaries
* updated ISC DHCP server to 3.0.1.r14
* updated PHP to 4.3.9
* updated racoon to racoon-20040818a

The upgrade was, as always: painless.
