Synopsis: ppp hangs if you set device to be a non-existant file

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: roam
State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 9 10:41:28 PDT 2001
State-Changed-Why: 
A *lot* has happened to the ppp code since March 22nd.
Can you try the same after updating your sources to a recent -stable?
All I can get is this:

[root@ringworld:v0 ~]# ppp -interactive
Working in interactive mode
Using interface: tun0
ppp ON ringworld> set device /dev/nonesuch
ppp ON ringworld> term
Warning: deflink: /dev/nonesuch: Bad file descriptor
Failed to open /dev/nonesuch
ppp ON ringworld>

..or if by 'nonexistent' you meant a serial device which does not
really correspond to a serial port connected to a mode..

[root@ringworld:v0 ~]# ppp -interactive
Working in interactive mode
Using interface: tun0
ppp ON ringworld> set device /dev/cuaa0
ppp ON ringworld> term
deflink: Entering terminal mode on /dev/cuaa0
Type `~?' for help

Packet mode.
ppp ON ringworld>

Just after the 'Type ~? for help ' prompt, I typed ~p as per the ppp(8)
manpage, to switch from terminal to packet mode.


In any case, update your FreeBSD to a recent -stable, and then
