25 but can also be run from
27 if some of the features of
29 such as IP pool management, and inbuilt TCP wrappers, are not required.
32 options are unconventional, as they are designed for use by
34 rather than users. The option order is critical. Flag options
35 consist of a 0 or 1, and must be present. Value options consist of a
36 0, or a 1 followed by the value. Either the 0 or both the 1 and the
37 value must be present. The remaining options are optional, but must
38 be present in the defined order. The options are as follows:
41 if set (1), enables debug messages to syslog from pptpctrl. This has no
42 effect on the setting of the PPP debug option.
47 will not pass the client's IP address to
57 file to use for PPP options. See the
67 Note that on Linux, this parameter is ineffective.
70 if set, specifies the IP address that
72 is to use for the network interface on the server. If not set,
74 will determine it based on options; usually it will be the ethernet address of the server.
77 if set, specifies the IP address that
79 is to use for the network interface on the client. If not set,
81 will determine it based on options; usually it will be the ethernet address of the client, or an address given in
84 .IR ppp-local-ip-value
88 if present, specifies the call identification for the PPTP session. If omitted, the call identification is zero. Normally the ID is allocated by
90 and passed to pptpctrl.
93 if present, path to the PPP binary to use. If omitted, the default
97 if present, specifies whether
99 should be updated as users connect and disconnect.
