I am trying to figure out a way to have PPPd act as a "server" side of a
connection, forcing users to use a certain IP address, varying by ttydX
line they are connected to. The exception is the few priviledged users
who have static IPs. This is driving me nuts. I don't see anything in
the list archives, either.
I gave up and read the manual page. Try pppd option ipcp-accept-remote.
Ian and I are going to have to hack the ppp source somehow to get this to
work if there isn't already a way to do it. If it isn't already there, we
will make it clean and provide a diff, because this is something that
really should be possible without a lot of fuss.
I would not mind someone hacking pppd to allow both dynamic and static
operation for the same user. It probably works now, but to get it I would
need to list all ~200 dynamic IPs in pap-secrets in addition to the static
one allocated to the user to get around ipcp checks. I think, I stopped
reading the manual page at ipcp-accept-remote :-)
Later...... <Doug>
