I'm not sure how many on this list are aware how I was able to get PPPoE to run correctly under Eigerstein and why I would like to come up with a cleaner solution.... Basically the main problem under PPPoE was getting the interface to come up before the firewall rules are in place so what I did was basically just add a section in /etc/network.conf after the interface definitions saying simply "adsl-start" which is the start script for the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client. Not clean by any means...and I would like to fix this and I have two ideas on how to do so... Basically the main reason is I would like to make the PPPoE package as portable as possible and not rely on the core LRP version (Eigerstein/LRP2.9.8/?Oxygen?) and of course my Method 2 has nothing to do with keeping it portable ;-) Method 1 /init.d/pppoe file Have a pppoe script in /init.d/ that runs the "adsl-start" command and then a "svi network ipfilter reload" which if I understand correctly will reload the firewall rules... Method 2 add pppoe support directly to /etc/network.conf This ones tricky because its beyond my current abilities but what I would like to do is figure out HOW DHCP is called within network.conf and setup a variable setting whether the external dynamic connection is DHCP or PPPoE and if its PPPoE call the external startup command "adsl-start" rather than DHCP Does anyone have any suggestions? Comments? through rotten tomatoes at me? ? ? :-) -Kenneth Hadley _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
