PPTPCTRL(8) System Manager's Manual PPTPCTRL(8)
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
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.
FILES
none.
