Original ppp


ppp-2.3.10.diff

This is a patch for ppp, that makes it possible to use some kind of
dynamic address pools.

Usage:

Add option 'pool-dir dirname/' to your /etc/ppp/options, and create an
empty directory dirname (don't forget the trailing slash in the
directory name in options file). This option turns on address pooling,
and sets the directory to be used for lock files. For any connection
the lock file named with the IP address of the remote side containing
pppd PID is created in this directory.

In your secrets file (chap-secrets or pap-secrets) add several IP
addresses after the secret (masked addresses are not implemented
yet). pppd will look for the first unused address lock it and propose
to the remote side. If the remote side tries to provide the address
itself, pppd will check it against the list of the allowed addresses,
try to lock it and reject connection if it is already used.
