pppd-sql is a plugin for the Point-to-Point server (pppd) on Linux and Solaris that adds an authentication backend using a MySQL or PostgreSQL database for the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). It supports MS-CHAPv1 and MS-CHAPv2 too. The IPCP negotiation after authentication handshake is also supported. pppd-sql supports a flexible configuration scheme, has concurrent connection handling for single users across multiple tunnel servers, and comes with easy and handy documentation.

Changes:
This version adds support for exclusive read and write locking on the selected row. This will improve the concurrent connection handler a lot. Support was added for IP configuration scripts with additional parameters (username, received bytes, transmitted bytes, and link duration). Blocking support was added. Four new configuration options were added: "mysql-ip-up", "mysql-ip-down", "pgsql-ip-up", and "pgsql-ip-down".
