The only point we are missing here is to know how to get the name of the "active" provider smpppd is using, somehow via the command line.
Does it have to be the name of the provider? Why not use the IP info from ifconfig?
The IP is given as a parameter to the script, no need to search for it - or it should, at least. It is done for ip-up.local, dunno for if-up.d/
Thanks for both of you for the ideas! Generally my naive idea was to extract somehow the _name_ of the provider and personally I didn't think about to use the IPs. To be honest I have even no idea, if my friend uses few free providers, how different their IPs are... e.g. earlier I had Hungarian freemail and freeweb dial-up and there was time when they used the same range of dynamic IPs, but the first supposed to provide exclusively SMTP/POP access and the later one "only" internet...
I think the best will be to wait until I travel back to Budapest to have a look on his settings personally.
If they are truly different ISP's, they will have different, though possibly similar address ranges. Also the default route should be unique for each one. You may be able to do a host lookup to see who has what address. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
