Hi guys, |
| 2 |
|

I've recently set up my Gentoo server to access my nokia M1122 modem via pptp. |
| 4 |
Everything works sweet as, and it gives me the control over my internet |
| 5 |
connection that I need. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The problem is, is when my server powers off, and powers on again, the tunnel |
| 8 |
will be lost and I'll have to start it manually. I thought the |
| 9 |
/etc/init.d/net.ppp0 script may have some kind of support for it, but it |
| 10 |
doesn't. The command that needs to be run is "pptp-command start M1122", but |
| 11 |
I would like it to be part of the Gentoo init system. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So I set out with my _very_ basic bash skills and tried to impliment my own. |
| 14 |
And I failed (I really need to learn bash better :). The Gotcha's are that it |
| 15 |
has to load after my net.eth0 script, but before any of my network services |
| 16 |
start up (can't bind to a non-existant device). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I found a nice walkthrough for a debian PC, but time is limited at the moment |
| 19 |
(assignments are piling up... :( Uni.) so I was just wondering if anybody had |
| 20 |
hacked up a solution for this. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If not, I'll attempt it again in a week or two, and post the result here so |
| 23 |
you guys can get kicks from my bash scripting :D |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Cheers, |
| 26 |
Chris. |
