I don't understand exactly what you mean. have it so a user on the client can initiate the ppp connection on the server? You could do this pretty easily so its from a single command to start/stop, just setup rsa authentication with nullphrase certificates. and sudo on the server, so he'd be running something like.. ssh server.domain sudo poff see relevant documentation for details. > > Using potato on server and unstable on user box, kernel 2.2.17, ipmasq on > server. > > I am trying to learn, and learn how to do this correctly.
