This documented in the pppd man page. It is done for security reasons. The standard Debian ip-up and ip-down scripts set PATH and export it. Why are you rewriting ip-up and ip-down? The standard Debian ip-up and ip-down scripts use run-parts to run whatever you put in ip-up.d and ip-down.d. Thus you would create a script named dynip in ip-down.d, make it executable and put this in it: #!/bin/bash dynipclient -k ... ... and put a similar script in ip-up.d. By rewriting ip-up and ip-down you are going to foul up packages that put scripts in these directories and expect them to get run at appropriate times. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain.
