Notes for ez-ipupdate on Debian =============================== Configuration files ------------------- To configure this package, put your configuration files the /etc/ez-ipupdate/ directory. To avoid password exposure, it is recommended you set the permission for all configuration files in this directory to 700 (-rwx------). You will still be able to use the run-as-user option because the file is opened before root permissions are dropped. Automated behavior ------------------ The init.d script will launch an ez-ipupdate daemon for each configuration file in that directory that has the "daemon" option set and the "foreground" option disabled. The ppp script will launch ez-ipupdate once for each configuration file in the /etc/ez-ipupdate/ directory that has the "daemon" and the "foreground" options disabled. If you do not want your configuration files to be automatically used, please set the "foreground" option in them, or put them in an alternate directory. Cache files ----------- You may store cache files in /var/cache/ez-ipupdate/, as the daemon has write permission to this directory. -- Sam Hocevar Mon, 25 Dec 2000 05:48:01 +0100 updated on Thu, 13 Feb 2003 15:56:36 +0100 (cache files) updated on Wed, 23 Apr 2003 04:59:52 +0200 (file permissions) updated on Wed, 18 Jun 2003 20:08:44 +0200 (ppp ip-up.d)
