ppp.lrp provides the ppp daemon patched to allow for PPPoE connection. It will also be needed for a standard serial modem connection. To configure ppp go to the LEAF Packages configuration menu and choose ppp.
The following menu will appear:
ppp configuration files
1) ISP pppd options
2) ISP login script
3) System wide pppd options
4) chap secret
5) pap secret
6) pppd daemon script
q) quit
Option 1 give you access to the /etc/ppp/peer/provider
file. The sample file is ready to use for a Compuserve modem dial-up
connection. Adjust it to you needs.
Option 2 gives you access to the /etc/chatscripts/provider.
The sample file is a sample script file for Compuserve. Adjust it to
your needs.
Option 3 gives you access to the /etc/ppp/options
system wide file
Option 4 gives you access to the /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
file
Option 5 gives you access to the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
file
Option 6 gives you access to the /etc/init.d/ppp
script file
The man page for the ppp daemon is available here.
The peer/provider and chatscript/provider
files are the one used by default for a modem connection. You can ignore
those two files if you run ppp.lrp togther with the pppoe.lrp package.
In this case you will edit the two adsl-provider files available through
the pppoe configuration menu.
The Bering pppd daemon comes from the ppp-2.4.1.tar.gz package. This program is patched for pppoe support with the ppp-2.4. 1-pppoe.patch4 patch. The result of the compilation gives the "Bering" pppd daemon provided in ppp.lrp.
If you want support for MSCHAP (pptp tunnels) or for the active-filter pppd option you will have to replace the pppd daemon provided on the Bering ppp.lrp package by the appropriate version available here .
The following patched pppd daemons are available:
pppd-pptp "Bering" pppd daemon + the two following patches: ppp-2.4.1-openssl-0.9.6-mppe-patch.gz ppp-2.4.1-MSCHAPv2-fix.patch.gz pppd-pptp-reqmppe pppd-pptp + the following patch: require-mppe.diff pppd-pptp-reqmppe-filter pppd-pptp-reqmppe compiled with the FILTER flag enabled and statiscally compiled against libpcap. pppd-filter "Bering" pppd daemon compiled with the FILTER flag enabled and statically compiled against libpcap. No pptp support.
Current "Bering" version: 2.4.1
pppoe.lrp provides the PPPoE pppd plugin to allow for a kernel based PPPoE connection. To configure PPPoE, go to the LEAF packages configuration menu and select pppoe.
The following menu will appear:

2) pap secret
q) quit
Option 1 give you access to the /etc/ppp/peer/dsl-provider
file. The sample file is ready to use for T-DSL. Adjust it to you
needs.
IMPORTANT: be sure to change the user papname
with your valid login name. Usually you need the @provider.com suffix.
This name must be the same as the one in the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
below.
Option 2 gives you access to the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
file. The format is username (the same as above)
* yoursecret
