I'm trying to set up a PPP connectiont through a few SSH hops. Using a local xterm as root, I SSH into machine A, then SSH into machine B.
I fire up pppd on machine B and PPPD droppings appear on my local xterm. Now I try to use the TTY associated with the local xterm given by "ps ax" (which I know is the right one because I can "echo crap>/dev/ttyxx" and I see the crap on the xterm). I've been using a variety of pppd commands, mostly like: pppd /dev/ttyxx 192.168.11.2:192.168.11.1 proxyarp passive silent noauth but pppd doesn't seem to hijack the specified TTY. What am I missing here? I know there are scripts to do this, but I can't make them work because of the multiple hop thing. I thought that if I can actually understand what is going on here and do it manually, I might be able to successfully automate things and enrich my grey matter. Does anyone have the time to show me?
