PPP.conf
Here are my ppp config files
I am using pmdemand
efault:
set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
set device /dev/cuaa2
set speed 115200
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT \
OK-AT-OK AT&F1 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
# Client side PPP
#
# Although the PPP protocol is a peer to peer protocol, we normally
# consider the side that initiates the connection as the client and
# the side that receives the connection as the server. Authentication
# is required by the server either using a unix-style login proceedure
# or by demanding PAP or CHAP authentication from the client.
#
# An on demand example where we have dynamic IP addresses and wish to
# use a unix-style login script:
#
# If the peer assigns us an arbitrary IP (most ISPs do this) and we
# can't predict what their IP will be either, take a wild guess at
# some IPs that you can't currently route to. Ppp can change this
# when the link comes up.
#
# The /0 bit in "set ifaddr" says that we insist on 0 bits of the
# specified IP actually being correct, therefore, the other side can assign
# any IP number.
#
# The forth arg to "set ifaddr" makes us send "0.0.0.0" as our requested
# IP number, forcing the peer to make the decision. This is necessary
# when negotiating with some (broken) ppp implementations.
#
# This entry also works with static IP numbers or when not in -auto mode.
# The `add'' line adds a =13ticky' default route that will be updated if
# and when any of the IP numbers are changed in IPCP negotiations.
# The "set ifaddr" is required in -auto mode.
#
# Finally, the `enable dns'' line tells ppp to ask the peer for the
# nameserver addresses that should be used. This isn't always supported
# by the other side, but if it is, ppp will update /etc/resolv.conf with
# the correct nameserver values at connection time.
#
# The login script shown says that you're expecting `ogin:''. If you
# don't receive that, send a `\n'' and expect `ogin:'' again. When
# it's received, send `ppp'', expect `word:'' then send `ppp''.
# You *MUST* customise this login script according to your local
# requirements.
#
pmdemand:
set phone 3899234
set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: rknebel word: rkill"
set timeout 120
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
add default HISADDR
enable dns
PPP.Linkup
MYADDR:
!bg /usr/X11R6/bin/auplay /etc/ppp/linkup.au
# If we've got 192.244.176.32 as our address, then regard peer as a gateway
# to 192.244.176.0 network. This may also be done in ppp.conf instead.
#
192.244.176.32:
add 192.244.176.0 0 HISADDR
#You may want to execute a script after connecting. This script can do
# nice things such as kick off "sendmail -q", "popclient my.isp" and
# "slurp -d news". It can be passed MYADDR, HISADDR and INTERFACE
# as arguments too - useful for informing a DNS of your assigned IP.
#
# You may also want some sound effects....
#
pmdemand:
#!bg /etc/ppp/ppp.etherup.pmdemand
! sh -c "cat /etc/ppp/linkup.au >/dev/audio"
# If your minimum call charge is 5 minutes, you may as well stay on
# the line for that amount of time. If we want a 60 second subsequent
# timeout, set your timeout to 300 in ppp.conf and then do this:
#=20
min5minutes:
!bg sh -c "sleep 240; pppctl -p mypassword 3000 set timeout 60"
I am tring to use the freebsd machine as a gateway on a local network in my
house for two other machines.
As can be seen though on my ifconf -a statement I cannot get fxp0 to come
up.
Thanks
