ppp - check and notify version 20010430
=======================================

this little tool and config set is quiet usefull
for the following environment:

	- semi-permanent ppp dial-up line,
	  which should be always online

	- local nameserver

	- give your temp. ip adress away to another
	  person via sendmail

this little configuration
and shell scripts allows you to:

	- check your ppp line every minute,
	  to reconnect if neccessary
	  	- "/etc/crontab" entry, where
		  "/etc/ppp/testpppd" is called 
		  every minute !

 	- reconfigure your local nameserver,
	  while substituting both DNS servers fetched by pppd
	  within the /etc/named.conf file 
	  (via the skeleton /etc/named.conf-skel - edit this one)

	- sending one email to the maintainer with the
	  new ip-adress and dns entries, if this email adress is given.

/etc:
	crontab			: a demo crontab entry for /etc/ppp/testpppd 
	named.conf-skel		: the named.conf skeleton

/etc/ppp:
	ip-down			: symb. link -> ip-up
	ip-up			: symb. link -> ip-up.jau
	ip-up.jau		: the magic named.conf and email feature
	options			: the mailto receiver is configured here
	testpppd		: the script which checks pppd
