This is exactly the same behaviour as the 980612 version. Ok, I think I have confused you by saying iI would like it on the console. I run ppp by telneting into FreeBSD from win95, giving ppp its own screen using "screen", typing ppp, dial provider... In my ppp.linkup I have !bg dnsupdate. On ppp2.2.5 the results on this program came up in the ppp telnet window. An example from the program is printf( "Host %s.%s NOT updated.\n", myhost, MYDOMAIN );. On ppp980612 I do not see a thing back from the script unless I do it manually (I just found manually works ok ie. typing !bg dnsupdate in ppp). I know it is executing (or trying to) on the linkup cause I "set log local +Command." and I am getting Command: MYADDR: !bg dnsupdate wheely To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
