annotate docs/ppp-setup @ 201:138e66e1a61f
removed dns_getname() which was already commented
seems as if one can use dns_getip() or dns_getmx() instead without problem
their code is almost identical to the one of dns_getname() anyway

| meillo@166 | 1 This document covers dial-up internet connections with PPP |
| meillo@166 | 2 ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| meillo@166 | 3 |
| meillo@166 | 4 Now you have to set up the online configuration. The trick is to tell |
| meillo@166 | 5 your ip-up script the connection name. You could use the IP number of |
| meillo@166 | 6 the far side of the ppp link, but this is a pain and may change each |
| meillo@166 | 7 time. But you can give it an additional argument via pppd with ipparam. |
| meillo@166 | 8 Somewhere in your dial up script you have a line similar to: |
| meillo@166 | 9 |
| meillo@166 | 10 /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -t 90 -f $CHATFILE" \ |
| meillo@166 | 11 -d -d -d user user@somewhere file "$OPTIONS" |
| meillo@166 | 12 |
| meillo@166 | 13 Just add 'ipparam FastNet' in the command line for pppd if your ISP has |
| meillo@166 | 14 the name FastNet. The ip-up script will then get 'FastNet' as a sixth |
| meillo@166 | 15 parameter. In your ip-up script you can then call masqmail with |
| meillo@166 | 16 |
| meillo@166 | 17 /usr/local/sbin/masqmail -qo "$6" |
| meillo@166 | 18 |
| meillo@166 | 19 instead of 'sendmail -q', if you had that in the script before. |
| meillo@166 | 20 Masqmail will then read the route configuration specified for the |
| meillo@166 | 21 connection name 'FastNet' and deliver the mail destined to the internet. |
| meillo@166 | 22 See the configuration manual on how to write a route configuration or |
| meillo@166 | 23 use one of the examples as a template. |
| meillo@166 | 24 |
| meillo@166 | 25 I do not know how do configure that for an ISDN adapter, but I am sure |
| meillo@166 | 26 you will find something similar in the man pages. |
| meillo@166 | 27 |
| meillo@166 | 28 If you want mail that is received by masqmail from your local net to be |
| meillo@166 | 29 delivered immediately using the route configuration, you have two |
| meillo@166 | 30 possibilities: |
| meillo@166 | 31 |
| meillo@166 | 32 * if you are using the masqdialer system, you just have to set the |
| meillo@166 | 33 variables online_detect to pipe and online_pipe to something like |
| meillo@166 | 34 /usr/bin/mservdetect localhost 224 |
| meillo@166 | 35 if mserver is running on localhost and listens on port 224. See the |
| meillo@166 | 36 man page to mservdetect(1). |
| meillo@166 | 37 |
| meillo@166 | 38 * otherwise you have to add two commands in your ip-up script: |
| meillo@166 | 39 echo "$6" >/var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route |
| meillo@166 | 40 chmod 644 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route |
| meillo@166 | 41 and you have to remove the file /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route in |
| meillo@166 | 42 your ip-down script: |
| meillo@166 | 43 rm /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route |
| meillo@166 | 44 Then you have to set online_detect to file and online_file to |
| meillo@166 | 45 /var/run/masqmail/masqmail-route |
| meillo@166 | 46 |
| meillo@166 | 47 See the route documentation for more. |
