masqmail
annotate docs/ppp-setup @ 421:f37384470855
Changed lockdir to /var/lock/masqmail; Create lockdir and piddir on startup.
Moved the lockdir out of the spool dir. (When /var/lock is a ramdisk
we do well to have the lock files there.) Added the new configure option
--with-lockdir to change that location. Nontheless, if we run_as_user,
then lock files are always stored in the spool dir directly.
Instead of installing the lockdir and piddir at installation time, we
create them on startup time now if they are missing. This is necessary
if lockdir or piddir are a tmpfs.

| 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@310 | 32 * if you are using the masqdialer system, you just have to set |
| meillo@310 | 33 online_query 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@418 | 39 echo "$6" >/var/tmp/masqmail-route |
| meillo@418 | 40 chmod 644 /var/tmp/masqmail-route |
| meillo@418 | 41 and you have to remove the file /var/tmp/masqmail-route in |
| meillo@166 | 42 your ip-down script: |
| meillo@418 | 43 rm /var/tmp/masqmail-route |
| meillo@310 | 44 Then you have to set online_query to |
| meillo@418 | 45 /bin/cat /var/tmp/masqmail-route |
| meillo@166 | 46 |
| meillo@166 | 47 See the route documentation for more. |
