Re: pptponfig centos 5.4

[tony.chamberlain@lemko.com]

Using the Windows pptp when I connect it allows the remote host to set
my routes for the PPTP vpn.  Is there a way to do this in Linux too?
If I want to make a general tool to connect I would like to use it in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local.  For instance, in one connection I want to do

     ip route replace 10.0.0.0/8 dev ppp0

but in another connection I want to do

     ip route replace 192.168.0.0/24 dev ppp0

I'd like to make a generic thing that would always set the correct route
(best thing to let the VPN server set my routes).  I suppose I could make
an interface and look up the tunnel in a text file and return the routes
but that is an extra step.

My name is on it.  The regret lingers on.  "PHP-GTK, why?", I ask
myself.

I don't know.

Alternatives, should you still require them ...

1.  pptpsetup is included in pptp, and is a non-GUI for achieving the
same thing as pptpconfig,

2.  Network Manager has a pptp plugin which does the same and more.
