So far, laptop-net's been working like a charm. I can distinguish networks based on reachable IPs and MAC addresses, and it doesn't wait for DHCP if I'm not connected to a network. Among the files in my /etc/laptop-net/profiles/*/files.d are a proxy.js that correctly sets up proxies for Mozilla (that way, I don't have to restart my browser if I switch networks), an /etc/profile that sets or unsets the proxy environment variables, and an update-exim4.conf.conf that changes my smarthost. I have an after-select that updates the exim4 configuration and restarts my MTA. I also make liberal use of SSH tunneling. I haven't figured out how to bring up the tunnels automatically as one of the hosts I need to tunnel through doesn't allow public-key authentication. I think I need to use expect, but I'm having a hard time getting expect to let ssh stick around while the connection is up and then automatically bringing it down when I lose connection. -- Sacha Chua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Ateneo CS faculty geekette interests: emacs, gnu/linux, wearables, teaching compsci http://sacha.free.net.ph/
