>Description:
I've modifyed pppd sources and added 3 new options:
usepeerdns, update-resolv, hide-password
usepeerdns
Ask the peer for up to 2 DNS server addresses. The
addresses supplied by the peer (if any) are passed
to the /etc/ppp/ip-up script in the environment
variables DNS1 and DNS2.
update-resolv
The /etc/resolv.conf will be updated with the DNS
addresses supplied by the peer (if any). But envi-
ronment variables DNS1 and DNS2 are still avail-
able. This option is work in conjunction with the
usepeerdns option only.
hide-password
When logging the contents of PAP packets, this
option causes pppd to exclude the password string
from the log.
Options usepeerdns and hide-password i've taken from pppd-2.3.9,
but usepeerdns doesn't update resolve.conf automatically(like in 2.3.9)
so DNS addresses are available from DNS1, DNS2, USEPEERDNS
environment variables(usefull for /etc/ppp/ip-up(down) scripts).
Option update-resolv update resolv.conf automatically, but DNS1, DNS2,
USEPEERDNS environment variables are still available.
I hope it will be usefull when pppd acts as client.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I've maked a patch which can be applied
to /usr/src/usr.sbin/pppd sources by this way:
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/pppd
patch < pppd-DNSask.patch
