Well thats gonna depend on your kernel but lets assume your running 2.2 and
use ipchains for firewalling.
Goto freshmeat.net and search for "ipchains-firewall" which provides a perl
script that can be run as
firewall.sh ppp0 eth0
place a new script in your /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ directory as
90firewall.sh make sure its executable and it should at least
contain
#/bin/sh
firewall.sh ppp0 eth0
If our using kernel 2.4.x then look for a similar script for "iptables" of
which a few exist and provide similar functionality to ipchains-firewall
Try to make use of the ip-up.d and ip-down.d local directories under
/etc/ppp as this will let you ensure that certain scripts can be
enabled/disabled when ppp goes up. Note also that these scripts export a n
umber of environment variables which allow you to more clearly specify
elements for your script.
