When I run ppp -direct on a ttyline, this is what I get:

Warning : no default entry in config file.
Log Level is 09
Warning : No password entry for this host in ppp.secret
Warning : All manipulation is allowed by anyone in a world
can't find ifindex
open_tun: No such file or directory 

I have tun0 -> tun3 configured both in the kernel and with devices in /dev/

What is ifindex? Is there anyway to allow PPP hosts to come up without 
authentication [i.e. FORCE them to use a single IP address after they 
login no matter what]? And how do I get around the open_tun error?

Thanks much for your time,

-Jerry.
