ipvs 0.2.6 available
Hi,

The IPVS v0.2.6 for kernel 2.4 was available at the LVS site.

IP Virtual Server Netfilter module - Version 0.2.6 - March 18, 2001

Changes:
* ipvsadm updates
Horms fixed that ipvsadm cannot read /etc/sysconfig/ipvsadm
correctly on Red Hat 7. It is caused by scanf under the glibc that
ships with Red Hat 7 not returning EOF as the man page documents
it will once input stops. Added some code in the config_stream.c
so that it can detect ab EOF.
Horms tidys up ipvsadm-restore, ipvsadm-save and ipvsadm.sh a
little too.

* Julian fixed the dst_cache usage, i.e. __ip_vs_dst_check() needs
doing dst_hold(dst) before returning an available dst. Then, the
__refcnt of dst_cache is correct.

* Changed ip_vs_ftp.c to handles established sessions only, which
can speed up ftp handling in the LVS/NAT a little bit.

* Changed to use records of fixed size and added more boundary
checking in all the proc info handlers (of /proc/net/ip_vs,
/proc/net/ip_vs_conn, /proc/net/ip_vs_app), so that possible
buffer overflow can be avoided. Thanks to Julian for discussions
on this issues.

* Changed svc->refcnt updates a little bit. Tidy up some stucts in
the ip_vs.h and some comments in the code.

* Added some statistics functionalities in the ipvs. The
statistics information can be accessed by /proc/net/ip_vs_stats.
And, thank Julian for discussions on this too.

Your testing and comments are welcome!

Thanks,

Wensong
