Well thats gonna depend on your kernel but lets assume your running 2.2 and use ipchains for firewalling. Goto freshmeat.net and search for "ipchains-firewall" which provides a perl script that can be run as firewall.sh ppp0 eth0 place a new script in your /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ directory as 90firewall.sh make sure its executable and it should at least contain #/bin/sh firewall.sh ppp0 eth0 If our using kernel 2.4.x then look for a similar script for "iptables" of which a few exist and provide similar functionality to ipchains-firewall Try to make use of the ip-up.d and ip-down.d local directories under /etc/ppp as this will let you ensure that certain scripts can be enabled/disabled when ppp goes up. Note also that these scripts export a n umber of environment variables which allow you to more clearly specify elements for your script.
