Gday. I've uploaded the following files to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 201 1 88254 Sep 6 08:05 ppp_plus-2.1.x-release.tar.gz -rwxr-xr-x 1 201 1 503 Sep 6 08:06 ppp_plus-2.1.x-release.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 201 1 90092 Sep 6 08:06 ppp_plus-2.2-current.tar.gz -rwxr-xr-x 1 201 1 503 Sep 6 08:06 ppp_plus-2.2-current.txt They contain drop in replacements (source) for user level ppp (ijppp) that comes with FreeBSD (both 2.1.x's and 2.2-current) They add some extra features, such as allowing the negotation of DNS name servers, and NetBIOS name servers with Microsoft Win95 and WinNT clients running PPP. An additional feature is the ability to allow PAP authentication from the password file. We use this code, in addition with a mgetty-0.99-beta compiled with AUTO_PPP to allow Win95 clients out-of-the-box dialup PPP capabilities. All they need to know is their username/password, and the phone number. No IP's, no DNS crap, no scripts, no junk. Mgetty picks up the phone, autodetects the PPP, passes of the call to ppp which enforces PAP authentication from the password file, and negotiates our DNS servers. Full source included, along with documentation (shit!) in the man page, and some sample scripts/configs that we use. And yes this has been submitted as bin/1494 and i've got the diff's against 2.2-current (as of today) if anyone wants 'em :) Regards, Peter PS. The 2.1.5 stuff has some fixes for problems in the OpenTunnel function (limit of 10 devices - groan), and a few other cosmetics. -- Peter Childs --- http://www.imforei.apana.org.au/~pjchilds Finger pjchilds@al.imforei.apana.org.au for public PGP key Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object!
