I'm running pppd version 2.3 patch level 5 on FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE
and the scripts are correctly executed. The permissions are:
root> ll /etc/ppp/ip-*
-rwx------ 1 root wheel 401 13 Ago 04:42 /etc/ppp/ip-down
-rwx------ 1 root wheel 174 14 Ago 01:44 /etc/ppp/ip-up
The scripts are:
root> cat /etc/ppp/ip-up
#!/bin/sh
# get the hostname assigned to this host by remote system
HOSTNAME=`host $4 | cut -d" " -f5`
echo -n $HOSTNAME > /var/run/hostname && chmod 644 /var/run/hostname
root> cat /etc/ppp/ip-down
#!/bin/sh
# This script removes files containing information about closed ppp
# link
if [ -f /var/run/hostname ]; then
rm /var/run/hostname
fi
if [ -f /var/run/smtpserver ]; then
rm /var/run/smtpserver
fi
# use only local nameserver (i.e. delete ISP DNS)
HOSTNAME=`hostname -s`
echo "domain `hostname | sed s/$HOSTNAME\.//`" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf
I start pppd as root from a script:
#!/bin/sh
[snip] [lot of secrets here :-)]
pppd /dev/cuaa0 115200 connect "chat -f $CHAT_SCRIPT" user $USERNAME
What are you trying to do in the ip-{down,up} scripts? Maybe the
scripts are executed but they do not run as expected because there's an
error in the scripts?.
