I've written a patch for pppoed.c 1.24 that adds the following options: -c <procs> Maximum number of processes pppoed can run simultaneously. -m <procs/mac> Same as -c but per MAC address. -f <file> Format is <mac> [<procs>]\n. <procs> defaults to 1. Overrides -m. -t <secs> A pppoed child must start ppp in this many seconds or die.
For -m and -f: -1 means no limit, 0 means forbidden. http://thiago.joi.com.br/andre/pppoed.patch.gz Feedback is welcome. What I wanted to do was "-m 0 -f macs -t 10": only allow connections from MAC addresses listed in the file "macs" and never run more than one process simultaneously for a single MAC address. And pppoed processes that don't start ppp in 10 seconds should die. Is there some way to do the same thing without this patch? Thank you. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
