rp-pppoe version 3.6

[Florin Braescu]

Hi everybody,

  The 3.6 version of rp-pppoe was released. It compiles and installs just fine 
on my system. However some changes were made and i think it can impact the 
iso scripts regarding rp-pppoe. I extract here the changes text from the 
tarball doc:

- Changed the names of commands from adsl-* to pppoe-* to more logically
  name the scripts.  NOTE INCOMPATIBILITY:

  OLD NAME                   NEW NAME
  adsl-start                 pppoe-start
  adsl-stop                 pppoe-stop
  adsl-status               pppoe-status
  adsl-connect            pppoe-connect
  adsl-setup                pppoe-setup

- Changed sample firewall scripts to use iptables instead of the old ipchains
  command.

- Updated KERNEL-MODE-PPPOE instructions to reflect more modern pppd that
  is commonly distributed.

- Make the userland pppoe daemon run as "nobody" if possible, once session
  has started.

- Make userland pppoe program somewhat safe if it is installed SUID or
  SGID.  Note that I still do *NOT* recommend a SUID/SGID pppoe.

- Fix long-standing bug in pppoe-server that passed arguments to pppd in the
  wrong order.

- Fix kernel-mode plugin.  It was broken by changes to pppd.  The pppd
  maintainers fixed their version of the plugin, but neglected to inform me.
  Thanks a lot, guys!

- Make plugin accept argument of the form "nix-XXXX" to force it to use
  device "XXXX" as the Ethernet interface.  This allows the use of devices
  whose names do not start with "eth"

  That's why i consider that a closer look at the changes is needed. I attach 
here the module i used on my system.

  Regards,

    Florin
