Hi Mika!
Here are the promised infos! But I should at first point out, that I was not
able to reproduce my original problem with this AON-Account (thanks Friedl!)...
Here are the issues which should(*)/could(-) be optimized:
* add "usepeerdns" in the ppp-config file (I am not sure how you get nameserver
entries in /etc/resolv.conf (for inode) without this.. my resolv.conf did not
get updated without it.)
- new ADSL-Modems come with a built-in DHCP-Server which also provides the
nameserver "10.0.0.138". This actually conflicts with the DNS-Entries provided
be the ppp-connection (when using the option "usepeerdns"). These entries are
only added afterwards which results in timeouts... "resolvconf" provides the
file "/etc/resolvconf/interface-order"[1] to solve such problems. I think ppp*
should be rated higher than eth* by default because these connections are
actually used ... What do you think?
- uses "chap-secrets" instead of "pap-secrets"
- just copy "grml-pptp-inode" to "grml-pptp-aon" (*nääh*) or just use grml-pptp
by adding the provider as parameter?
Thats what I found. If you agree with one or some of the issues above I can also
try to submit some patches...
Greetings,
