It is odd, but it's a feature. Check ppp.linkdown.sample for a way of making it look prettier, and have a look at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html for a description of the ``first connection'' problem that it fixes. > I'm running 2.2.8-STABLE compiled Dec. 29th, 1998 and ppp dated 990112. > > I've got iijppp configured to dial out on demand, and it works fine. > But one thing I noticed when I updated on the 29th. ifconfig tun0 now returns > lots and lots of data instead of only one line, as I *thought* it used to! It > seems like everytime ppp dials, it adds a new address to the interface in > ifconfig, and never deletes the old one when the link closes. > > Right now, I have 132 lines when I use "ifconfig tun0". For example: > inet 204.255.227.185 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff > inet 204.255.227.193 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff > inet 204.255.227.155 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff > > Shouldn't it be just the one? The last one in the list is the latest one. > > "netstat -rn" only shows the latest one, as it ought to! > > It all works fine, but I just thought this was odd. > > Patrick > > --- > Patrick S.
