It is possible to run from inetd but you must consider
the following:
You use pptpctrl not pptpd.
You must put pptpctrl in /etc/services as port 1723.
You must configure pppd to allocate IP addresses (eg,
use /etc/options.ttyXX, the pppd erpcd hack and an erpcd,
or some other modification to pppd).
libwrap is not used in this mode - you should use tcp
wrappers in inetd like with any other network service.
The configuration file is ignored in this mode.
An example command line is:
pptpctrl 0 0 0 0 0
This would be put in inetd.conf as (assuming Linux tcp
wrappers):
pptpctrl stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/pptpctrl 0 0 0 0 0 --buffer--
Note the --buffer-- is just to make the process name
longer so it can modify its name to something meaningful.
First option: debugging (0 for off, 1 for on)
Second option: PPP options file (0 for off, 1 followed
by a file name for on)
Third option: TTY speed (0 for default, 1 followed
by a speed to set a speed)
Fourth option: Local IP address (0 for pppd-determined,
1 followed by an address to set)
Fifth option: Remote IP address (0 for pppd-determined,
1 followed by an address to set)
Another example, debugging on, alternate config file,
setting tty speed and specifying the local IP address:
pptpctrl 1 1 /etc/ppp/options.PPTP 1 115200 1 192.168.0.1 0
