Good day List,=20
I have a question about pppd. We use ppp over ssh for a VPN solution into=
=20
work. The script works on linux, but not in freebsd because the=20
implementation of pppd that comes with freebsd does not recognize the pty=20
command. When I attempt to connect up I get the following.=20
testee# bash bin/vpn.init start
Waiting for connection...
Using interface ppp0
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /usr/home/rob/vpn/options.vpn: unrecognized option=
=20
'pty'
Connection Failed
This appears to be the last piece of the puzzle for me in order to get this=
to=20
work. So it leaves me to ask Is there an equivalent in Freebsd?=20
=46rom the pppd man page on a linux machine.=20
pty script
Specifies that the command script is to be used to communicat=
e=20
rather than a specific terminal device. Pppd will allocate itself a=20
pseudo-tty master/slave pair and use the slave as its terminal device. The=
=20
script will be run in a child process with the pseudo-tty master a=
s=20
its standard input and output. An explicit device name may not be =
=20
given if this option is used. (Note: if the record option is used in=20
conjuction with the pty option, the child process will have pipes on its=20
standard input and output.)
The fbsd pppd's man page doesn't list anything for pty, and a google doesn'=
t=20
turn up much.=20
Thanks for your time.=20
