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. ---- We can fly.
