Hi!

We have a small net and using FreeBSD 2.2.8 machine as Internet gate.
To dial a provider we use kernel PPP - PPPD.
I need to setup a firewall after connection established. For this purpose
I use file /etc/ppp/ip-up, as described in man page, to setup firewall
using ipfw. But it seems, that this script is called with effective uid of
current user, not root ,as described in man! I decide that, because the
script is executed (I've placed simple 'echo executed > /exec.txt' in this
script to check this). But all ipfw commands is not executed - firewall
settings remain unchanged.

What I'm doing wrong? How can I force ip-up and ip-down scripts to execute
correctly?

P.S. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
