Hello, I'm using pppd as a server and I would want to do the following: 1.) Client sends IPCP configure request including an IP-address for the client 2.) Before pppd responds I want to decide on accepting or rejecting the IP address outside pppd 3.) Based on the decision in 2.) I want either to ACK the IPCP configure request or terminate the ppp connection. Second use case is when client does not specify an IP-address. Then I would want to acquire a dynamic address, again outside pppd. If I found out that dynamic addresses are not allowed I would terminate the ppp connection, otherwise I would want to NAK the IPCP configure request with the acquired IP-address. I have looked into pppd plugin interface, but if I understand correctly the current interface only provides the address given on the command line or options file, not the ip-address requested by the other end. The ip-up or ip-pre-up scripts don't seem to work for me because they are called when the IPCP negotiation has already ended. Could you please give me some ideas how I could implement this? Should I extend the plugin interface so that I add hooks for IPCP negotiation and create a plugin for this? Thanks in advance!
