[pptp-server] How I can know who is connected over my VPN-ser ver (IP-Adress)

[George Vieira]

I think there was a message mentioning a quick customised patch to do this
but that was like a month or so ago.... someone else was asking the same
thing.
I think it would be a good idea if pptpd could store an enviroment setting
with the external IP address rather than using a script to detect it. eg.

ip-up.local
----
grep pptp /var/log/secure | grep "$4" | tail -1   # $4 containing the pptp
client IP (or was that $5)...

or whatever.. (I don't know what the tcp_wrappers logs look like to filter
it out)...


thanks,
George Vieira

My situation:
I'm using pptpd( from inittab) 
when user connects with my VPN-server, it runs pppd, pppd runs ip-up
script.
This script inserts record (ip-adress for client, User name from pppd
pppd environments) into my SQL-server. When client is down
(disconnected)- pppd runs ip-down script. Thhis script inserts
additional informational such as received and sended bytes, connection
time from pppd environments.
I need a log for my SQL-server from the address the client was connected
!I need an IP address of a clinet.
I can see this information in my syslog but I can't use it
How can I use this information ?
If pptpd set environment about client IP adress this will be good !

Thanks
