Hello, The documentation here <http://rachid.koucha.free.fr/tech_corner/pty_pdip.html> helped me building a solution. What I did : 1. open /dev/ptmx (the master), which creates a /dev/pts/X (the slave) pseudo terminal 2. print the name of the /dev/pts/X created on standard output 3. redirect standard files to the file descriptor I have on /dev/ptmx 4. wait (with inotify) for someone to open /dev/pts/X 5. call exec() on pppob
One more step which can be taken between 2. and 3. is to daemonize. Maybe that sort of feature could be added into pppob. It could simplify the integration with, for example, NetworkManager I guess. That's cool, pppob now acts like a tty and I think we will be able to integrate it soon.
