Thanks for the post -- really helps me out. But there is one critical piece of information that's been left out of all these pppd posts: how do you get an updated version of pppd onto the system? Is there an scp site?
Bear in mind that not all of us have the luxury of another linux machine that we can build source on then copy binaries over...
there is also scp for windows. look for "putty" and "ssh" on google.
if you do not have an extra linux machine to get your files ready, hacking ASL will not be much fun, as ASL itself is not meant to be a development system. think of it more as a special purpose device for firewalling and related services.
quote: What I meant was, does someone have a pppd binary that can be downloaded, that is known to work on the astaro distro? Since there's no FTP on Astaro (congrats, BTW: most people usually don't understand why it shouldn't be on there), it would have to be retrieved via scp.
everything included in an RPM for SuSE 7.0 should work fine. Or everything else compiled on Slackware 7.0 and SuSE 7.0.
as for the ftp client: we have (with good purpose) left everything out of the distribution which is not really necessary to run it. if you want to add things, no problem [:)]

Nope, I'd rather leave it off, thanks.
I got things working by doing a cross-compile with a static link, and everything's just great, but I've run into a problem: the internal network can't see the DMZ. I get a number of the following in the syslog:
NAT: x dropping untracked packet
I'm still new to iptables, but know ipchains quite well, so I'm fine with firewalling. I've tried adding rules to MASQ to the DMZ, but that doesn't work. I can't figure it out...
