pptpctrl
is usually run by
pptpd(8),
but can also be run from
inetd(8)
if some of the features of
pptpd(8),
such as IP pool management, and inbuilt TCP wrappers, are not required.
OPTIONS
pptpctrl
options are unconventional, as they are designed for use by
pptpd(8)
rather than users. The option order is critical. Flag options
consist of a 0 or 1, and must be present. Value options consist of a
0, or a 1 followed by the value. Either the 0 or both the 1 and the
value must be present. The remaining options are optional, but must
be present in the defined order. The options are as follows:
pptp-debug-flag
if set (1), enables debug messages to syslog from pptpctrl. This has no
effect on the setting of the PPP debug option.
no-ipparam-flag
if set,
pptpctrl
will not pass the client's IP address to
pppd(8)
using the
ipparam
option. See the
noipparam
option in
pptpd.conf(5).
ppp-options-value
file to use for PPP options. See the
file
option in
pppd(8).
ppp-speed-value
value for the
speed
option given to
pppd(8).
Note that on Linux, this parameter is ineffective.
ppp-local-ip-value
if set, specifies the IP address that
pppd(8)
is to use for the network interface on the server. If not set,
pppd(8)
will determine it based on options; usually it will be the ethernet address of the server.
ppp-remote-ip-value
if set, specifies the IP address that
pppd(8)
is to use for the network interface on the client. If not set,
pppd(8)
will determine it based on options; usually it will be the ethernet address of the client, or an address given in
chap-secrets.
Must be set if
ppp-local-ip-value
is set.
pptp-call-id
if present, specifies the call identification for the PPTP session. If omitted, the call identification is zero. Normally the ID is allocated by
pptpd(8)
and passed to pptpctrl.
ppp-binary
if present, path to the PPP binary to use. If omitted, the default
value is used.
pptp-logwtmp
if present, specifies whether
wtmp(5)
should be updated as users connect and disconnect.
