The formal question is - What's the difference between user-mode and kernel-mode PPPoE ? and which/what would be best suited for a server environment providing always-on http, mail, ftp and dns services via ADSL ? (I don't want to login as a user to bring up the ADSL).
>From what I gather, one is run in user-space and the other isn't. What's the significance of that ? There's not an abundance of documentation for this question. The kernel source says PPPoE is still experimental for 2.4.x, and patches need to be applied including patches to pppd. I'm no kernel hacker, but I guess it would be easier for me to understand user- and kernel-mode PPPoE if I knew what user-space/mode and kernel-space/mode is (?). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
