I want some feedback from macnetworkprog members on the following two
questions:
1. I have an authsample/MoreSCF combination working for configuring the
System Preferences for a dialup connection - however it does the usual uinx
fork() for a parent/child and uses a pipes for communication - "my other app"
can then send phone/dns etc. info to the parent via CFMessagePort so that the
parent can send that on to the child via the pipes. However a better
approach <???> might be to have "my other app" use Launch Services to launch
the authentication/scf configuration process and communicate directly with
this "child" using CFMessagePort. My only hesitation in going ahead and
doing this is that I may as a result open up a security hole. Another
alternative is just to use a file for persistence and communication!! I
would appreciate what you thoughts are on this.
2. I also have a need for PPPoE and MoreSCF doesn't seem to support this at
a high level like it does for dialup - is this something that is on the
drawing boards for a future version of MoreSCF - or should I just bite the
bullet and do it using MoreSCF as a model?
Thanks for your help - Arthur Lewis
