I suggest chewing on "man iptables" for a while. Looking at examples helps a lot.
Er, no thanks. I am not doing a masqerade + firewall. I am doing a dial-in server - need to control a box that's not on the net. All the manuals/howtos are quite old (found a 2003 article that still refer to old ppp, modem, dialin howtos. They refer to configuring the kernel for ip forwarding. This has changed and I was wondering about the why and how at the kernel level.
I have a box that is working as a router, and all it took was setting the routes correctly and then a:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I'm pretty confident that would be the same for the ppp interfaces as well. As long as the routes are set correctly, that is all it should take.
Peace.
