I'm working on a second FreeBSD box to my home network (currently this machine and a Win95 game box) and I've run into a problem. Things like ftp, rlogin and ssh are insisting that the ppp link to my ISP be up in order to get started. Once the local connection is working they don't need the link to the outside world any more. Filtering DNS lookups to keep them from causing ppp to dial out just causes the problem programs to hang. I've got hosts ahead of bind in /etc/hosts.conf on both machines, the appropriate entries in /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf on this machine (the gateway, and the only one running named) has nameserver 127.0.0.1 listed ahead of my ISPs nameservers. Any suggestions? -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, | Usenet II -- because but I've never quite been ready to make | it's time for October the commitment. | http://www.usenet2.org
