I have recently set up LRP2.9.8 with a PPPOE DSL internet connection and one
masq'd dial-in connection using mgetty and pppd. So far it's working pretty
well *knocks on wood*. I'm not sure how different our variants are so I can
only explain what I did to get it working:
Firstly the PPPOE connection was up and running, it's configuration file was
"/etc/ppp/options". This got mv'd to "/etc/ppp/options.pppoe.eth1". pppd
was directed to use this by adding the "file /etc/ppp/options.pppoe.eth1"
arguments to pppd in the pppoe invocation file. The options for the dial-in
ppp connection were placed in "/etc/ppp/options.ttyS2". My pppd will find
this file on it's own when the connection is on /dev/ttyS2. An empty file
was placed at "/etc/ppp/options" to prevent pppd from kicking out
complaining of no configuration file.
I then configured mgetty to answer the modem and start pppd as per the
standard man pages. For a non-root user to start pppd I had to make my pppd
binary setuid using "chmod u+s". I'm not sure of the security issues of
doing this but it seemed preferable to letting people log in as root. (Can
anyone advise on this?)
If anyone would like to see the related config files, holler and I'll send
them rather than spam everyone right now.

add an incoming dialup account using pppd that would be masq'ed like any
other client. I'm worried that if I install pppd that it may overwrite
configuration files for the PPP and PPPOE packages I already have installed.
Has anyone attempted this setup successfully? I'm not constrained by space
as I have a nice fat 35 M package partition thanks to Charles's Hard-disk
how-to.
