Hi, just a quick question I can't find any info on:
Under userland ppp it was easy to run programs when the ppp link went
up or down via ppp.linkup/linkdown.
How to do it using the kernel PPPoE in openbsd 3.8?
Thanks in advance --
A bonus question for you: My DSL link drops with kernel pppoe yet did
not with userland due to timeouts. You could increase the timeout in
the options file I think for usrland pppoe, but how do you do it with
the kernel pppoe?
man 4 pppoe
As much help as that post was . . . I read the man page before posting.
I know you can run programs when the hostname.pppoe0 file first runs
using the "!", but doesn't that just address what is done when the link
is first brought up, and I was assuming that there was not an
equivalent to ppp.linkdown, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't
overlooked something.
The other problem is really just because I have bad wiring and the DSL
connection drops when the phone goes on or off hook. userland pppoe
adjusted much faster to this it seemed. The kernel pppoe just quits
responding and then comes back online several minutes after the link
claims to be back in "Phase:network".
