Something I needed to learn six hours ago! If I knew about this I could
have just given it over to the people at sysops instead of creating such a
ppp over ssh tunnel. Anyhow, none of it was really hard anyway. It
consisted of only two commands:
pty-redir ssh remote.vpn.host.com sudo /usr/sbin/pppd \
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 file /etc/ppp/options-ssh-rem >/tmp/vpn-device
sudo /usr/sbin/pppd `cat /tmp/vpn-device` 192.168.0.2:192.168.0.1 netmask \
255.255.255.0 file /etc/ppp/options-ssh-loc
Provided that you can ssh into remote.vpn.host.com without getting asked
for a password (i.e. your identity is in the authorized_keys file on the
remote end).
