Multi-Router Looking Glass Version 5.1.0
Tue Jan 18 08:40:30 EST 2005

Multi-Router Looking Glass allows network administrators to execute
commands on multiple routers via a nice web interface.

Changes for version 5.1.0

* Implemented Net::SSH::Perl routines to allow SSH access to routers.

* Added debug routines to code to aid in debugging config file when
adding a new router.

* Changed code to set $login_user to 'no_login_user_defined' if
'login_user' is not set in config file. *Change required by SSH routines.

* Changed code to set $login_pass to 'no_login_pass_defined' if
'login_pass' is not set in config file. *Change required by SSH routines.

* Cleaned up code to allow easier modification/debugging.

* Added 'use_ssh' config parameter to config file to tell MRLG to use SSH.

* Added 'use_port' config parameter to config file to tell MRLG to use a
specific port for all connections to a specific router.  If you're
configuring MRLG for Cisco routers, you'll appreciate this one as it
will make your config file much shorter!

* Added 'debug' config parameter to config file to tell MRLG to output
debug information for a specific router.

* Added $::writable_directory config parameter to config file to tell
MRLG where to store the known_hosts file that is created by
Net::SSH::Perl when an SSH connection is used.


Changes for version 5.0.0

* Integrated patch supplied by Jeff Barrow to support username/password
authentication for devices that require a username to log in.

* Upgraded code to use Net::Telnet::Cisco.

* Added a few <!-- --> tags for Google-bait so I can look and see how
many people are running my code. Please leave these in place.  I get a
kick out of seeing all of the different networks that use this code.

* More features coming soon - IE; SSH support!
