Hi all,
I've come to understand that everytime i dialup using user ppp, I need to
resync the filter rules using 'ipf -y'. Now, my problem is, everytime[1] I
dial up, I have to ipf -y manually myself. I would put a line in ppp.linkup,
but the thing is, ppp.linkup gets run with the priviledges of the user who
just invoked ppp, and as i have non-root users dialing out, it does not
work.

Can anyone tell me how to automatically ipf -y when the ppp link goes up?
Especially when invoked by non-root users?

Thanks in advance.


[1] Well, it seems to be needed to be done only the first time after a
reboot most of the time.
