You are talking about the VPN IP address not the Internet IP that the user
connects on.

Either I've missed something here, or the existence of "Local IP number"
as param $4 to ip-up allows us to reduce this to something like:

<snip>
#!/bin/bash

DATE=`date +\"%d/%m/%y\"`

PPPIP=$4

echo "$PPPIP"

echo "[$DATE] $PPPIP " >>/var/log/pppd.log
</snip>

Or is having the "Local IP number" a Debianism (surely not?)?

HTH,
Neale.
