The code was previously only changing the logging level if it wasn't the
default which is accurate for setting the log level once at startup time,
but it needs to set it unconditionally to allow dynamic updates.
Also, make every subsystem within btcd use its own logger instance so each
subsystem can have its own level specified independent of the others.
This is work towards #48.
Outbound we already have the exact same thing set up, and this should
quieten the race detector. Please note that this does *not* cause
problems with the service flags being wrong. Since by this point we have
already done every thing that would use the service flags from p.na in
addrmanager, and now p.Services is correct..
This commit adds version information to btcctl. The plan is to keep
it in lock step with the btcd version. It also updates the release script
so the version file is updated automatically with the btcd one.
This commit improves the configuration for btcctl in several ways:
- Add the ability to specify a config file
- Add a default entry to the rpc cert to point to the location
it will likely be in the btcd home directory
- Move the config bits into a separate file for easier maintenance
- Remove periods from --rpccert/--rpckey since none of the other options use
them
- Make it a little more clear that the --listen and --rpclisten options can be
used multiple times by changing the summary to start with "Add an ..."
which also matches the --addpeer style
All rpc sockets now listen using TLS by default, and this can not be
turned off. The keys (defauling to the datadirectory) may be provided by
--rpccert and --rpckey. If the keys do not exist we will generate a new
self-signed keypair with some sane defaults (hostname and all current
interface addresses).
Additionally add tls capability to btcctl so that it can still be used.
The certificate to use for verify can be provided on the commandline or
verification can be turned off (this leaves you susceptible to MITM
attacks)
Initial code from dhill (rpc tls support) and jrick (key generation),
cleanup, debugging and polishing from me.
These act the same as the !tls versions of this code but they take a PEM
encoded certificate chain to be used to verify certificates (ca verified
certs could use /etc/ssl/certs.pem) and a parameter to skip cert
verification and will use https internally.
