I didn't read the man pages, and it seemed logical at the time :)

I thought it was fairly obvious that one would need to take measures to
deal with this. The simplest is to just put the edited poff in

Just a thought: When ip-down is run, the ip-layer is already down, so
there is no way to make contact to hosts over the link. So some

This documented in the pppd man page. It is done for security reasons.

How do you know? These scripts are run with stdout directed to /dev/null,
so you won't see any
Greetings,
I have successfully installed Debian 2.x via FTP! Apache, smail, squid,
samba. While I am having security issues, I do have a simple question,
which probably is nothing more than a basic shell question.
in the /etc/ppp directory there are two files, ip-up and ip-down. From

If a package wants to be run when pppd is on, then include a file
"/etc/ppp/scripts.d/." In the postinst, run the command
ppp-update.d.
And in the prerm, presumably?
I like the proposal, by the way. My only possible concern is that it
is perhaps a little too complicated, but sometimes
I have never liked the idea of having to edit either ip-up, or ip-down each
time I want to add a script into the ppp chain. This is also hard for
separate packages to do automatically, without errors.
So here it comes. Sit down for this one.

Hi,
Can anybody send me some example /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down

Also, how can I execute /usr/sbin/xbase-configure for the second time
(on already configured and running system). Nothing happens when I try
executing it. Is there a lock file
