pppd ip-up.d script not executing

Hi All

Can anyone shine some light on this problem I'm having! I'm currently
running a speedtouch 330 ADSL modem on Ubuntu Server 7.04. I can
connect and get a working connection and manually run my iptables
script but i can not get ppp to run my script located in

/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/

i have set the file permission of this script to 700 and is owned by
root. the script that runs is simple and like say can be run manually
from the command line.


code:
#!/bin/sh
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables-restore < /etc/network/iptables.up.rules


Aim i missing something hear. The man pages say this is the right
place, and i think the other scripts in the ip-up.d directory are
being executed, namely 0000usepeerdns 0dns-up or i would not get my
peer dns server addresses placed into resolv.conf.

Can anyone help

Thanks Tom

If Ubuntu works like Debian, scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and the like
are run using run-parts. You can check it in the /etc/ppp/ip-up script.
IIRC, scripts must meet the following three conditions in order to work
with run-parts :

- be executable (seems ok) ;
- start with the interpreter definition #!/path/interpreter (seems ok) ;
- the filename must contain only letters, digits, underscores and
hyphens [a-zA-Z_-] ; it must not contain periods like in "script.sh".

You can check which scripts run-parts would run in a directory with the
--test option :

# run-parts --test /etc/ppp/ip-up.d

These are some notes, provided by a friend of mine running Ubuntu using the same
modem.

Try preceeding the iptables-restore command with the full path

if that doesn't help try 755 permission
