Hello, FYI - Requirements for me to give out static IP address to users using the following: pptpd-1.3.3-1.fc4 ppp-2.4.3-5.fc4 freeradius-mysql-1.1.3-1 freeradius-debuginfo-1.1.3-1 freeradius-1.1.3-1 freeradius-unixODBC-1.1.3-1 freeradius-postgresql-1.1.3-1 I have a rlm_perl module that I use to authenticate users and provide static IP addresses. I came across the following info / issues when setting this up: 1. /etc/raddb/users file This file contained a default entry for "Framed-IP-Address" which was overriding the value set by the rlm_perl module. The "DEFAULT" options needed to be changed to remove the setting of the IP address. 2. /etc/pptpd.conf file In this file I uncommented the "delegate" option to allow the IP address to be set by the radius or chap-secrets. So PPTP will NOT pass an IP address to pppd. So disables the localip and remoteip options at the bottom. * With this option commented out, the IP address returned by freeradius was still being taken and given to the client, however the pptpd documentation says to enable the "delegate" option if you are going to do that. 3. /etc/ppp/options.pptpd file Once the "delegate" option was enabled, pppd would fail with the error "Could not determine local IP address". Since this address is no longer being set. Simple added the same IP address used in pptpd.conf localip to the options.pptpd file in the format: ipaddress: According to the man page: OPTIONS <local_IP_address>:<remote_IP_address> Set the local and/or remote interface IP addresses. Either one may be omitted. The IP addresses can be specified with a host name or in decimal dot notation (e.g. 150.234.56.78). The default local address is the (first) IP address of the system (unless the noipdefault option is given). The remote address will be obtained from the peer if not specified in any option. Thus, in simple cases, this option is not required. If a local and/or remote IP address is specified with this option, pppd will not accept a different value from the peer in the IPCP negotiation, unless the ipcp-accept-local and/or ipcp-accept-remote options are given, respectively. I added the system's IP address with the colon, with allowed pppd to determine it's localip and radius to set the client's IP address. -- Michael Gale Red Hat Certified Engineer Network Administrator Pason Systems Corp.
