This will probably play havoc with ppp. In general, you need to through every line in /etc/rc.conf and adjust it according to your preferences then reboot. To fix this problem, ensure that you have a hostname specified in /etc/rc.conf: ..... hostname="larry.home" # Set this! ..... and that it can be resolved in /etc/hosts: ..... 10.0.0.1 larry.home larry ..... and that things are done in the right order from /etc/host.conf: hosts bind After rebooting and starting ppp, you should now see a prompt saying ``ppp ON larry >''. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
