RH8.0 bundled rp-pppoe (rp-pppoe-3.4-7) problem, please help.

Hello,

I have a problem in RH8.0 bundled rp-pppoe (rp-pppoe-3.4-7), please
help.

I am setting up linux server as NAT, which share t he internet
connection to the client PCs at home. I was using RH7.2 before and
there is no problem at all. My problem in RH8.0 is that: I setup
rp-pppoe (ifup ppp0) to run at startup of the machine. Basically, it
starts up without any problem at all. But, it never runs
/etc/ppp/ip-up. Which means that the ip masquerading process didn't
bring up at all. What I have to is to ssh to the server everytime
after the server boots up and run /etc/ppp/ip-up manually, before my
clients can use the internet connect. I realized that the
configurations files are quite different from the one that I was using
in 7.2, e.g it doesn't use /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf anymore, instated it
put all the information in
/etc/ppp/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0.

Anybody can give me some suggestions ?
Thanks
Bosco

[Problems with IP-Masquerading]

Just start Masquerading in the '/etc/rc.d/rc.local' Skript.
Put 'iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE' into it.

This will activate NAT direct after System Startup.

 
 
 

1. rp-pppoe 3.1 -- Robust PPPoE suite for Linux

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Version 3.1 of rp-pppoe has been released.  It is the successor to 3.0.

rp-pppoe is a user-mode (and kernel mode, on Linux 2.4) client and
server for the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, a protocol used
by many ADSL service providers.  It runs on standard Linux kernels
NetBSD and Solaris.  rp-pppoe is released under the GNU General Public
License, and can be obtained from:

        http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/

Changed from Version 3.0 to 3.1:

o Security fix to server.  It now correctly rejects PADT's from incorrect
MAC addresses.  If you are using the server, you are strongly urged to upgrade.

o New server features: Server can now listen on multiple interfaces.  It
can randomize session numbers, and delays reuse of a session number as long
as possible.

o Kernel-mode PPPoE is better-documented, and works with Michal Ostrowski's
latest patched PPP suite (ppp-2.4.1-pppoe2.tgz).
