ppp over ssh?

[Craig Sanders <cas@taz.net.au>]

anyone know how to get ppp to run over a ssh session?

i.e. i want to start pppd on one machine, and make it use ssh rather than
chat to initiate the connection.


i can get pppd to use "ssh -C -x -e none remote.host.name -l remoteuser"
instead of the usual 'chat' program.  after login, the remote host starts
pppd...that side of things is working fine.

the trouble is that pppd on this side is not attaching to the ssh
connection....reading the docs, there doesn't appear to be any way of
making it do so.



should i be setting up a named pipe or a socket or something to do this?

any ideas/clues would be appreciated.


thanks,


craig
