It works as follows. - -When a connection occurs, pptpd launches pppd with two additional -options. The first option directs pppd to load the pptpd-logwtmp.so -plugin. The second option is the IP address of the client. - - "plugin /usr/lib/pptpd/pptpd-logwtmp.so" - "pptpd-original-ip 10.0.0.1" - -The plugin defines the pptpd-original-ip option so that pppd will -accept it. - -If the plugin fails to load, pppd will fail in the usual manner. Such -a failure will usually be related to a missing file in /usr/lib/pptpd. - -The plugin asks pppd to notify it when IP comes up or goes down. - -When IP comes up, the plugin's ip_up() function executes, calling -logwtmp() to mark the user as logged in. Once this has happened, -commands like "who" will show the user. The tty will be set to the -PPP interface name. - -When IP goes down, the plugin's ip_down() function executes, removing -the entry from wtmp. Note that a "kill -9" on the pppd will result in -a user appearing to remain logged in. Don't use "kill -9", use an -ordinary kill. - -If pppd debug mode is enabled, the plugin announces it's version when -loaded, and reports the parameters it is handing over to the logwtmp -call. See the plugins/pptpd-logwtmp.c source. - --- |
