I'm not sure if this is necessarily a bug, or if I'm doing something wrong. But in the man page for pppctl, it says a good way to secure user ppp is to set the diagnostic server to be a local socket. It also says to give it the mask 0177. This should create a server socket with the protection srw-------. However, no matter what mode I tell ppp to use, it creates a socket with the protection srwxrwxrwx. Currently my set server line looks like: set server /var/run/internet "" 0600 Am I missing something? Joe Clarke P.S. Thanks for the ifilters, Brian, they work great.
