User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.4i X-Virus-Scanned: By Sentex Communications (lava/20020517) Subject: mpd as PPPoE client X-BeenThere: freebsd-net@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Networking and TCP/IP with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2003 02:34:53 -0000 Due to recent threads about using mpd as the PPPoE client, I've decided to give it a shot. I've had mixed success. I'm basically using PPPoE from mpd.conf.dist, but with vjcomp disabled (thanks, Bell) and the username/password changed. I was successfully able to authenticate earlier today three times, but then I noticed that the kernel had loaded some modules that I hadn't compiled in. So I happily recompiled the kernel, and now it doesn't work. The problem lies in the service name. I hadn't touched it, but after that kernel recompile, it now continuously probes for the service 'whatever' (the default). Do I *really* have to find out the service name to stick in there manually? Why did it work before? I'm positive this is some misconfiguration I've done, but I just can't figure out where. I've gone over mpd.conf, mpd.links, and mpd.secret a number of times now, and they all look fine to me. Because it worked before, I didn't pay attention to the mpd startup to see how it dealt with retrieving the service name, so I don't know what behaviour I'm looking for. This is a brand new 5.1-R machine, with mpd 3.13. If it makes any difference, I've tried service names of blank, no service name, and defining the service name as the authentication suffix (@sentex.ca). Any pointers? Specific places to look? Configuration suggestions? TIA...
