pppd and root
Hello World,
I have, according to the PPP-HOWTO, 3 scriptfiles created. The only
difference to the howto is in ppp-on. I have added:
case "$1" in
diAx|diax|Diax)
TELEPHONE=015111111
PROV_USERNAME=<diAx-Username>
;;
SPIN|spin|Spin)
TELEPHONE=0812840007
PROV_USERNAME=<SPIN-Username>
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {diAx|SPIN}"
exit 1
;;
esac
and to start the script I use therefore:
exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug name $PROV_USERNAME /dev/ttyS0 115200 \
$LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP connect $DIALER_SCRIPT
In pap-secrets are both names together with the passwords. As seen, I use
the "name" option, what causes pppd to say that only root can establish
such a connection. But I know that it is possible to have more than one
configuration and start to connect as user, but HOW
Thanks in advance
Regards
Andreas
