[pptp-server] Want pptpd server to assign routes to clients when then connect

[Webmaster]

You have it right in the second part. I want the server to assign routes to
the client when the client connects to the server.
Currently after the client connects to the pptpd server, I have to (from the
client, in this case windows) type something along the lines of:
route add 192.168.3.0 192.168.1.0 (shortened for brevity, don't worry about
this syntax).
Then everything works fine for the client to access that network.
I need some way for the server to do that for the client when the client
connects.
It might be simple, but I suspect it is more involved otherwise it would
seem that it would be more readily available.
Any suggestions on how to pull this off anyone?
Thanks,
-Art

Hello,

Well, let me see if I understand what you want to do:
You want to add a route to your clients when they connect, at Server side?
If is this what you want, you can use the ip-up.local script, that depending
of the version of your pppd, may be located in /etc/ppp/ or
/etc/ppp/scripts.
This is script is executed imediatly after the connection of the client - so
you can make a bash script to add this routes dinamically.
But if you want to add a route at client side, I don't think that pppd/pptpd
can carry this. I think that you want to make some really crazy system to do
it.
If you want any help in seting-up this script (ip-up.local), please send me
e-mails in private and be sure that i'll help as I can!

Regards,
Igor
