pppsetup
« on: May 01, 2009, 08:09:18 PM »
Thnanks to mcewanw for an update to pppsetup.tce:

Code: [Select]
Title:          pppsetup.tce
Description:    Dialup configuration utility.
Version:        1.98
Author:         Robert S. Liesenfeld, Kent Robotti
Original-site:  http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/pppsetup.html
Copying-policy: View /usr/local/share/pppsetup/README.pppsetup for copyright.
Size: 15k
Extension_by:   mcewanw
Comments:       This extension will set up your PPP connection for dial up use.
                Run the setup to configure your connection.  Menu entries
                are present for connecting and disconnectiong.  Important files
                that need to be in your backup for your PPP configuration
                to survive across reboots:
                /etc/ppp  # config directory
                /etc/resolv.conf
                /usr/local/bin/pppsetup
                /usr/local/bin/ppp-off
                /usr/local/bin/ppp-go  # created by pppsetup when run
If you are using tclocal mounting, then /etc/ppp and
/etc/resolv.conf will be the only files you need to back up.
This extension requires pppd.tcel.
This extension is NOT PPI compatible.
Change-log:     2008/12/29 First version (Jason W)
Current:        2009/01/06 Fixed script to place ppp-go in /usr/local/sbin.
Current:        2009/05/09 (mcewanw) Changed the default modem init string;
                           added pppd option -am;
   fixed JWM menu to point to /usr/local/sbin/ppp-go

Guy,
Actually, anything below /usr/local is persistent as part of tclocal.  So /usr/local/sbin/ppp-go would survive a reboot when used in a tclocal environment without backing it up.

For information on which files need to be backed up for setup to persist after rebooting see:

Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.
