/usr/sbin/ppp searchs 'ppp.linkup' file for labels starting from 'my-ip-address', then looks at 'dstsystem' ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and finally at 'MYADDR'. On link-down the file 'ppp.linkdown' is searched starting from 'peer-ip-address', then 'dstsystem' and ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ finally to 'MYADDR' labels. Is there any sense in such an asymmetry ? Would'nt it be better to look at both 'my-' and 'peer-ip-address' on both link-up and link-down events ? (But I can'nt put this two adresses in one particular order ;-) N.Dudorov
