Hey everyone, I was recently trying to set up PPPoE to my ISP, over my network interface which is configured with 802.1q VLAN tagging using vlan(4). I utilised the vlans_<interface>=<tag> feature described in rc.conf(5), which creates a cloned interface named <interface>.<tag>. In /etc/ppp.conf I used the syntax PPPoE:<interface>.<tag> and this exposed an interesting issue - ppp(8) would not set up the PPPoE interface correctly when the interface contains a period. When I manually created the vlan clone interface with a name not containing a period, ppp(8) worked fine. Has anyone seen this before? A quick review of the ppp(8) code, and I am struggling to see the exact point where this syntax problem is. Regards, Ben -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
