Right, I have a simple prototype ready. I've attached a file called ispsetup.tar.gz. Extract it in ~/tmp. I've only implemented ppp.conf setup, but others can work along similiar lines. Basically, it just collects parameters and m4's them into config files. It uses two file-hierarchies, .../isp, which is where the shell-style isp definition files are stored. Also, there is .../isp-templates which contains template configuration files, one per service. I've also set up the script to dump config files into .../isp-destdir, just so it doesn't overwrite your own config files! ispsetup also uses defaults files, like Brian described. To run it, just give it a filename, relative to .../isp. eg: $ ispsetup.sh uk/demon Optionally, you give a list of which services to configure on the command line after the file. This will be more useful when I've implemented more than one. :-) Comments: * It *really* needs a better interface. I think dialog would be good and would match tzsetup(8). * It really shows why you should do stuff like this in perl or python. Some of sh's programming constructs are very obscure and unmaintanable... * We need to sit down together and figure out 90% of the variables needed to configure each service for an isp. There are a number of issues involved. The biggie for me is how to do resolv.conf correctly, even in the case of multiple isp's (not all of them give DNS configuration through IPCP). * A number of configuration issues depend on which port/package has been installed. eg: sendmail vs postifx vs exim vs qmail or perhaps squid vs. wwwoffle. I'm not entirely sure how best to approach this. Anyway, have a look and let me know what you think. -Dom --+QahgC5+KEYLbs62 Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="ispsetup.tar.gz" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 H4sIAHSIyjgAA+1Ze3PiRhLff9Gn6AjOmC0DEg875V2cODbJuhIMZ7OVvYpzsSwG0AGSopHs 5Xx89/v1jATYyW5yl9i5h9o2lmame3r63YMnw/qLJwZqWQftNr0gsg/aFv8narT0fw0W0YG1 32g2WjYm8LJ/0HhB7admjCGRsRMRvRgFi4+uw7Lx+DkYel7woP9k9rQm8Kv137aaTauBZVbT 2s/1/xyQ6n8kFoH/VHvYlrXfan1Y/83Wfub/zX0sINtuNewXZD0VQ9vwf67/olGkLyMhvrg8 pbPLAbmBP/YmSeTEXuDT2JsLGgcRnbJ90Jkfi8gXMX0Tj2pG0ZAiuvVcITthGBrhNPBFx7Q+ bbUbdsPe3983DQjV8fyOqcyr5ga1ZGYa02AhQmeCtdM4Dg/r9bu7u5peAdp1Exy9e/eOhpHn zpYUBzTBjpE3mcbk+eTM5+Q6UsharWaMfGl3TLv9ac1uN2p2rf2pyWON7bFW0zT+aCn/5wL7 /0iMnWQey6fa45f8v7Hxf+T/Jvt/22rk/v8cwP7Pfi9FHHv+RCqXZ98u0nDqSYqCINZh4G+Q FIeHGB4tKXTiqe8shGQHvZuKSFA8FWn4UAiSJgETGgkZ8/sPCBIdsy5it44n/qvxanOzIBIy mN+ma/RLuuSPltL/LsD/q7FYhHMnFvKJysBfXf+1Dg7spvL//YODvP57DniofzjlE+zxC/Hf btutjf4bbYw02g0rj//PAcXfCkgUg8GA6NKBEQk6eVA/fomwrnLJcRIH1YnwBSbEiG6WKOp8 nSx27YrON6W0Di0Zv50pI61pDg0q4pd6zkyQTFSWcmJCQcqFq0mRGCN1+S7nMZW+oki4MbJh 5DlzCoMoZmyugJdBEtEiQJ1ao103cRyLOnTS79l7xG+2fmtU1IbIpqS3oF7/tNv7YdC/GBp6 fB5MaDBFBUsnzMo3JwM6G+DjBH9x4oOHxcLxR3qxDAXEhXqoYVkpWWbMPP4CBOmLt5d/If14 3r+6kifHFxdn3QsanvW6/bdDatOVeWXS8ZD6X1ePh9X+13ju2n+28E5XV6Pj4enw6mq4Xt+y cIbz8+7J0EyZjb2FCJIYHplu742d0ShCh17jH7tuZY8NPDba7Vr2Z5EeBx4wKNUHvTm7PD49 vTBI+M4N7AXVumGETuhOnfDQSLUlRl6s9OGL9/wAu6C550NJEAx0hmjl6nrDQ+yS3Ba4Tijp zounjM8zt848AcLd1HOnNHVuBd0IgfZBSm/iaxNUKkXxU+Nt9fFUE0ODN/3z7g/nb3t60El0 rUNvL7sX58e97mZ4JpY0OL68/LZ/cfpfWaUg/uMsSViT0yfbA/H/I/nfttp2M7v/admttur/ m3n9/yxQ/KR+4/l1OVUh+CQIl7rT3j2pEGKORafBwvM9l3pe7E7FfK7WvUYLICLEMjFxUOkL 4gbgSE19lQb5n7lJkCqQYtxHjEWzwa2D4xNMUCeAz3eLle0sYBgL0TFL91ax+LK+Qkgq0qUK rDqUzANX0ZY1AyS4UemU7uHOF/3+8LBaun/T73VX9XgR1jG9MrIqZ+RFWDfs9gbfIBienl3w 2pTAalMLrQzVmPBq8xGtajphGjIZj733nXINCHEZDFZ/HzCMRDoTQbsVujcKRfpWrE/NMpvP ybl1vLmKoNklTM0oCHcakKlQD6l0vxAr+o6qHHwVv/Q9v0rSXOMNZ6HvUnyq1Wrfm3S00wCd 94i/DQMiuHMiP+VCE1dUQfylXoolIorSFWqxWfrcTCnYPH2DTKeC5xaV0r2tVMrz4Otnpv9U f6lmI+GMmMtMEF96EbpQJ5qAd50hGDcY62TACz3fnScjti7HX67bVMZFYg0R3f1YIq9AYNKJ lpUasXCduQyI91I3TMDLrkR06+v5jM9bSN4OLMOAg2i5l6YXOQ2SucKNE4jgRihazAOGvLgs GT10UGjEjymPMU+Qloz5QovQdAvdcz9Yx/goBVxv7KmclrXbigZr1/O1K0A06N4LkARPseVm ll0v2dALO2B6JNqaW292ZRQKHJSvM7WoRYyxuv7pqs2kURgFGGQ3oGqECTVKOztUy154ia9O wmcM/PkSR/D8WSrDBQLx3tYnSxEbepyroestK4fMYMZ/Z1vMRlcmrPkViwSaKrBFmn6wxlnT 4dNrMXjK9ILM9rctPKtgWX3ZfLlkl6EehCCwfzIVLrgWuqqQwUKkCuEdUZ9kilH6PMaAE4bp uNKj9j6cwkdtJ3FO9lyUK5RdhHSuSvfrS5GSvdo+cjb+4MDa8XDiLVNID/swDOMEhUIk2EqV EArrLfWO0PpqszceNbMZB59wMNmYRrbuepuXxYwjTTX8uXVqT6OAMKr2vF7MONxS9Ueqxjpe Xac7lT6jKgox66endB2/HJMLB0OOUehKHI/Opa+Qz8oL8gOOmTFi5lI3ABwsIick6QZh6qKI +PgM4MJyCp3NkA1BwUsNBzUmcMeJ77IIq5x25lCZImJGC6qOqZQeyaTuu7MhvXmLmv4cdXX3 omcU0gDuqrC9pkO7HBlHcAQdWFJLY4lVMpdA0wKPZvw5AgRz3mtlPClvBzKUhgJdhzEWFEUJ UwTzwa2IMqPL0pp2fq6i2SKTUJXMyobZFye6O5oHwUxiyxmvZGwYcBSEaIniBzd8EMJEoHqa SFgp9JcKYUWZ/AciWngouMHqZ0Zh0dpeg8dNQuboREcbS3nsi4++jWB3ZPVAaeUtcy3DvFdG dnOJX4ekp7pS9blA+NWEIEgwHqIX0AeGTXG4SVgfqoco0o3jzn5MAgQ0iPaMLz45wrMBwRZu FMUIAmYZwq3g58ggexzL74JopkK0DyroMOivJzzMIs/MEXx4io6yx7vpkr/KyBjKMh2sc8nK RXHGDRiCy3hEzXpLUYq5nfX8EBPjKFhAvRC0r8yyyNxyxHGi9HRpQVVGEI3jJdptmBB3mJJj WCR0NuOtEDf3sFHA8ei9cKn5esei1tGOTe20LMDga6SB2zoI0dH6qbF+NAp8iLtRp1xGPTBl haWBS48jbKWpQim4yvXCS3ZeZo2qPKg8GZlYI2RT6YzCYtpZLrmA8gNIcTwqy4xv6/VOk+yj nRYY22lvDlOlFn+08ZFVGukmsBrIn1vMLBX82+dnIj89PY9+8OzquLwiO9a/egqFu/o9y8/M r8Mwq72yoG2qBFqkrv9jAsuBFY68W2+UIH89TDVGAf6kMkDHvM6kW36bjn1G5WtzbS1qgTL/ 8oBHgmiULtBxgC9i1GVLRwlaXb/sqfuWzYCtPAN1HPbmVF1QlzXbe/d4QF3qpMT5HIioiJFS bMfVdSmtC4fdrO/fQ9TKDrWqjPy5yUFrHdMeYWX3Aoylz5niEB0dfRBrc1/EeOoMGdpDLF1r qTJI3VqgBkK5ldU++iLDTxY3SAIP6p/7xZL7IfMxt9mdh2JXEfwV3J6eX9qMwF/Ertdr+DhW I8VqfAzrdzVp7Y8whiBECWuODuWhSXg22CX5G2Uq4U3V+qNKYdP79QfD44uvTHr1isON+joM YkQDzDUFLEVWCmkb+Gjt5SarBusaMFBZTH1zBtyXlYJu9F69goik4xoqAMipN0ZBtLvLBM/O T6lKdqViGLo0KlLnQWGkKBhcWRVpkKDIQFrMyokHRq0UrxwYuGqPdX9lltSk6rHPg7u0iIiC ZDJVbpVd3ZJwuN/R1GsfYKhIp7pJ3SraWWZSdx3roj2NhpsyvCTTCCjmUqR0uDbZECLq68YB OGmVBMnO0YkhpyNHR1Jkm6XUwWLaVK73pX/QJBKq7izJTX35iJGCZiKrOxN/5gd3G8mWJIdu VUMzx3j4o69ycsghhxxyyCGHHHLIIYcccsghhxxyyCGHHHLIIYcccsghhxxyyCGHHHLIIYcc csghh/8T+CekeMbFAFAAAA== --+QahgC5+KEYLbs62-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
