Default Changelog Part 2

Code:
40) New site command (site RemoveCert name).  If no SSL connections are in
    use but a SSL cert is loaded then this command will attempt to unload the
    cert and remove it from the CurrentUser My/Personal store.  Primarily
    useful for removing certificates stored under the Local System account
    when running ioFTPD as a service.  Requires the M flag and the cert name
    must be one of the checked names used by makecert.  Thus you can't
    delete arbitrary certificates.

    NOTE: To view installed certificates for regular users you can use the
    certificate snap-in for the Microsoft Management Console as this should be
    available on W2k+.  (start->run, "MMC", File->Add/Remove Snap-In, Add,
    Certificates, Add, My user account, Finish, Close, OK.  As a shortcut you
    can try from start->run prompt "certmgr.msc" which will allow you to
    manage the certs for the current user only with fewer steps. 

    NOTE: I know of no way to do anything related to the LocalSystem account
    using the default store using any GUI tool.  Thus if you have installed
    ioFTPD as a service and are running it under the default LocalSystem
    account site makecert/removecert are your friends.  For security purposes
    you probably should be using a limited rights account anyway though...

41) New ioFTPD.ini option (Obscure_IP under [Network]).  This allows you to
    specify how many elements of the dotted IP address should be obscured in
    all logfiles.  Thus instead of 1.2.3.4 it will show up as 1.2.3.* or
    1.2.*.*, etc.  A setting of >=4 will result in "-hidden-" being shown.

42) New ioFTPD.ini option (Obscure_Host under [Network]).  This allows you to
    specify how many elements of a printed hostname should be obscured in
    all logfiles.  Thus instead of foo.bar.com it will show up as *.bar.com
    or *.com.  If the entire hostname is obscured the text "-hidden-" will
    be shown instead.

    NOTE: The combination of Obscure_IP and Obscure_Host should remove the
    need for any locally run BNCs.  However their use obscures even items
    like auto-ban messages and user hostmask mismatch messages which can
    be annoying at times.

43) New ioFTPD.ini option (Dynamic_DNS_Lookup under [Network]).  If a user
    hostmask begins with a colon ":" and is a hostname without any wildcards
    then during the login event you can force a DNS lookup of this hostname
    to see if matches the user's IP.  This should add support for people who
    use dynamic DNS services like no-ip.com.

44) New ioFTPD.ini option (Knock_# under [Network]).  When running a server
    with Reject_Unknown_Ips there is no way to even get to a login prompt
    if your IP has changed.  This can now be a common problem if using just
    a dynamic IP address hostmask.  The solution is a very simple knock-
    knock system which will add the knocking IP to a temporary list so
    you can connect.  Knocking essentially means connecting via TCP to
    between 1 and 5 ports in a short amount of time.  This can easily be
    done in most FTP programs by just setting up fake ftp servers on the
    knock ports and trying to connecting in order, or using the ioKnock
    GUI on windows machines.

45) New executable (ioKnock.exe).  This creates a very simple frontend
    that allows you to store knock sequences for various sites and to
    easily execute them.  With no arguments it pops up a GUI, or with
    1 command line argument it will attempt to locate a saved site by
    that name and execute the knock.

46) Support for enhanced crash reporting added.  Instead of writing to the
    c:\ioFTPD.crash.log file with just the exception ID and crash address
    the server will now create 2 or 3 new files...

47) New output file (CRASH-Log.txt) generated on program crashes.  Contains
    a human readable reason for the crash, useful information like the
    operating system version and processor information, address ranges of
    all the loaded modules for the program, as well as stack backtrace info.

    It looks something like this:

Rest of Threads...


48) New output file (MINIDUMP-date.time-pid.dmp).  Contains a near perfect
    image of the application at the time of the crash.  Size is roughly 4MB
    using the provided dbghelp.dll for a simple server.  Larger sites with
    a large directory cache size will obviously be bigger.

49) New output file (TINYDUMP-date.time-pid.dmp).  Contains just basic
    information, the thread stacks, and variables directly referenced by
    things on the stacks.  Size is roughly 200k using the provided dbghelp.dll.

50) New ioFTPD.ini option (Crash_Dir under [Locations]).  Allows you to
    specify the directory to create CRASH-Log.txt, MINIDUMP* and TINYDUMP*
    files in.  Default is directory where ioFTPD.exe is located.

51) New ioFTPD.ini option (TinyDump_Only under [Locations]).  Allows you to
    disable the generation of the MINIDUMP* files.  This is disabled by
    default since many problems can only be solved with this larger memory
    image.
