I can't recall any reports of diald being used with any of the "mountain" versions of LEAF/LRP, so you may be exploring new ground. In general, however, you use the IF_AUTO and IF_LIST variables in network.conf to configure your interfaces. For example, you could use: IF_AUTO = "eth0 sl0" IF_LIST = "$IF_AUTO" This automatically starts sl0, but leaves diald in charge of configuring ppp0. > I need to use ip-up and ip-down scripts to change the firewall rules > depending upon the state of sl0 and ppp0? Does anyone know > how I might use > network.conf with ip-up and ip-down? Normally, a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d starts the firewall when ppp0 comes up. Perhaps someone more familiar with the Dachstein scripts can tell you how to use the built-in firewall functions for ppp0 without restarting the ppp0 interface. It might be easier to use a separate firewall package like seawall or echowall. > > Thanks for the help! > > Mark Good luck! -Richard _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
