1 It is possible to run from inetd but you must consider
4 You use pptpctrl not pptpd.
6 You must put pptpctrl in /etc/services as port 1723.
8 You must configure pppd to allocate IP addresses (eg,
9 use /etc/options.ttyXX, the pppd erpcd hack and an erpcd,
10 or some other modification to pppd).
12 libwrap is not used in this mode - you should use tcp
13 wrappers in inetd like with any other network service.
15 The configuration file is ignored in this mode.
17 An example command line is:
21 This would be put in inetd.conf as (assuming Linux tcp
24 pptpctrl stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/pptpctrl 0 0 0 0 0 --buffer--
26 Note the --buffer-- is just to make the process name
27 longer so it can modify its name to something meaningful.
29 First option: debugging (0 for off, 1 for on)
30 Second option: PPP options file (0 for off, 1 followed
31 by a file name for on)
32 Third option: TTY speed (0 for default, 1 followed
33 by a speed to set a speed)
34 Fourth option: Local IP address (0 for pppd-determined,
35 1 followed by an address to set)
36 Fifth option: Remote IP address (0 for pppd-determined,
37 1 followed by an address to set)
39 Another example, debugging on, alternate config file,
40 setting tty speed and specifying the local IP address:
42 pptpctrl 1 1 /etc/ppp/options.PPTP 1 115200 1 192.168.0.1 0
