ip-up & ip-down
Greetings,
I have successfully installed Debian 2.x via FTP! Apache, smail, squid,
samba. While I am having security issues, I do have a simple question,
which probably is nothing more than a basic shell question.
in the /etc/ppp directory there are two files, ip-up and ip-down. From
what I can tell, ip-up is executed upon a successful dial-up connection to
the internet, and ip-down is executed upon dropping of said connection.
In the ip-up file, I need to execute:
/usr/local/bin/dynipclient -p
In the ip-down file, I need to execute
/usr/local/bin/dynipclient -k
When I add the lines, it doesn't work. dynipclient is a program, not a
shell script. Anyone have the simple answer? I didn't see it in my unix
book, so maybe I'm looking in the incorrect spot.
Thanks, and happy holidays!
