ppp and ip-up

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>]

Does ppp run the ip-up and ip-down scripts for incoming connections
as well as outgoing? I added some commands to my ip-up on the server
to set up extra routes when I dial in, but they don't seem
to get run.


#!/bin/sh

#
# This script is run by the pppd after the link is established.
# It should be used to add routes, set IP address, run the mailq 
# etc.
#
# This script is called with the following arguments:
#    Arg  Name               Example
#    $1   Interface name     ppp0
#    $2   The tty            ttyS1
#    $3   The link speed     38400
#    $4   Local IP number    12.34.56.78
#    $5   Peer  IP number    12.34.56.99

#
# The  environment is cleared before executing this script
# so the path must be reset
#
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH

USERNAME=`w | grep $2 | perl -e '$_ = <STDIN>; s/(.+?) .+/\$1/; print;'`

# if it's hamish, add a route to his half of the subnet
if [ $USERNAME = "hamish" ]; then
	route add -net 203.14.18.0 netmask 255.255.255.128 $1
fi

# last line

I understand that $2 could include /dev/ as well, which would
break my script; I haven't checked this out yet. Or is ip-up not run at all
for incoming connections?
