PoPToP Point to Point Tunneling Server
NAME
pptpctrl - PPTP control connection manager
SYNOPSIS
pptpctrl pptp-debug-flag no-ipparam-flag ppp-options-value ppp-speed-value ppp-local-ip-value ppp-remote-ip-value [ pptp-call-id ] [ ppp-binary ] [ pptp-logwtmp ]
DESCRIPTION
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. | |
