Hello everybody,
I'm running Linux PPPD 2.2.0f on 2.0.36. I have a question related to the option files.
Here is the goal:
mgetty is listening on ttyS0 (AutoPPP enabled).
When a PPP user dials in, mgetty spawns PPPD and a proxyarp address will be given to
the remote user.
When a PPP LAN connection dials in, it will logon as an ordinary user and starting
PPPD as the shell. A .ppprc file will provide routing information to the other site.
Here is the problem.
I set up a options.ttyS0 file in the /etc/ppp directory to allow AutoPPP to assign a
proxyarp address when PPPD gets started.
In the home directory of the remote LAN user there is a .ppprc file with a different
address.
Everything works fine for AutoPPP. However, when PPPD gets started for the LAN user
the options.ttyS0 file will overwrite the settings in .ppprc. According to the
documentation the options file will be read first, then the .ppprc file. I don't know
about the options.ttyS0 file.
My questions is, how can I get both the AutoPPP dialin and the logged in PPPD to work
depending on the caller ? (BTW: mgetty is listening on more then just the ttyS0 port,
so I cannot pass any parameters to PPPD in the mgetty.config file).
Any help would be appreciated.
