PPP does not start at system startup although ppp_enable="YES" is in /etc/rc.conf. It used to start allright just a couple of days before - and for months on end before. The problem is I did many things during these two days, and I just can't remember everything in particular. I slightly reconfigured kernel, installed isc-dhcp3-server, tried to run samba, edited rc.conf and some other config files - but I'm positive that I haven't done anything that should affect ppp behaviour directly. I haven't changed /etc/ppp/ppp.conf - and it's pretty basic. Here's the relevant part of rc.conf: ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_profile="mtu" ppp_user="root" ppp_nat="YES" All other entries in rc.conf are still effective and everything starts ok - except ppp. I can easily start ppp manually. There's nothing in ppp.log dated between system startup and manual ppp start. The only error in dmesg is: module_register: module netgraph already exists! linker_file_sysinit "netgraph.ko" failed to register! 17 but google has told me that this is not critical. My kernel config is as follows: machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident SATBSDK maxusers 64 options INET options FFS options FFS_ROOT options SOFTUPDATES options UFS_DIRHASH options MFS options NFS options PROCFS options COMPAT_43 options SCSI_DELAY=15000 options UCONSOLE options USERCONFIG options VISUAL_USERCONFIG options KTRACE options SYSVSHM options SYSVMSG options SYSVSEM options P1003_1B options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING options ICMP_BANDLIM options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV device isa device pci device ata device atadisk device atapicd options ATA_STATIC_ID device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1 device vga0 at isa? device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100 device npx0 at nexus? port IO_NPX irq 13 device miibus device rl pseudo-device loop pseudo-device ether pseudo-device tun 1 pseudo-device pty pseudo-device md pseudo-device bpf options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 options IPDIVERT options DUMMYNET options NETGRAPH options NETGRAPH_ETHER options NETGRAPH_SOCKET options NETGRAPH_PPP options NETGRAPH_PPPOE My uname is: FreeBSD satbsd.local 4.10-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p3 #10: Thu Nov 4 03:11:27 MSK 2004 sat@satbsd.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SATBSDK i386 If you're out of ideas, maybe you could tell me, how's ppp started by ppp_enable="YES". I couldn't find it's literal invocation in /etc/rc. Please help! Thanks! Best regards, Andrew P.
