What do you mean?
pptp-linux of a resonable version, if missing, can be easiliy installed.
I figure this is no problem.
The networking scripts are probably full of hooks.
For instance, in redhat 7.3, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp , I
see:
# check that xDSL connection
if [ "$TYPE" = "xDSL" ] ; then
if [ -x /sbin/adsl-start -o -x /usr/sbin/adsl-start ] ; then
adsl-start /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/$CONFIG
exit $?
else
logger -p daemon.info -t ifup-ppp \
$"adsl-start does not exist or is not executable for ${DEVICE}"
exit 1
fi
fi
This code is run, if I understand the script correctly, when you run
'ifup ppp0'
I assume that such a script could start eth0 or whatever.
