Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.2+20040428-6
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
I think that this qualifies as "a feature request that should be sent to the
upstream maintainer of the package". I'm not sure who to send it to,
however. I hope you might know better than I, hehe.
The request is like so:
When: A user has configured pppd with the 'demand' option
Given: There is the 'idle' value, and yet a user might want to force the
pppd to disconnect, before the idle time would expire
Given: An authorized user might want the pppd to disconnect the active,
'demand' PPP link, while not having authorization to 'poff <provider>'"
Proposal: Specify a means for the user to have the pppd:
1) Disconnect the active 'demand' ppp link,
2) but not deconfigure the ppp interface --
3) probably, just reconfigure the ppp interface as it would have been,
before the 'demand'ed PPP activation would have occurred
I don't know enough C for this,enough to try programming it, or how it
might be doable, sanely, with pppd.
While this might seem like a trivial thing, honestly, yet I'd thought that I
might propose it anyway.
Thank you
