Thanks very much for the info.
I think I tried to do pretty much what you have done in ppp.conf. I also
found that ppp.linkup didn't seem to be working. I started out with
[/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup]
my_isp:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
but this never seemed to be invoked when I did
dial my_isp
However I did find that if I added the lines
MYADDR:
add 0 0 HISADDR
to ppp.linkup, then this got invoked instead and ppp added the default
route correctly. (I don't know if I'm confused, but it seemed from the
documentation that just the my_isp section should have been needed.)
Actually, what I'm most concerned about is the setup in /etc/sysconfig.
I have (possibly relevant stuff only):
[/etc/sysconfig]
hostname="me.my_isp.com"
defaultdomainname=NO
tcp_extensions=YES
network_interfaces="tun0 lo0"
ifconfig_tun0="inet me.my_isp.com 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
defaultrouter=NO
routedflags="-s"
[/etc/hosts]
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.0.1 me.my_isp.com me
I'm not sure whether the "ifconfig_tun0" line should even be there, since
it is just a lie, anyway, and "routed" times out the route and gets rid
of it after a few minutes. I'm also not sure whether I want or need
"multicast".
After a connection is established, netstat -rn gives
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
default 196.7.101.66 UGc 0 0 tun0
10.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UGHS 1 0 lo0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 0 lo0
196.7.101.66 196.7.101.141 UH 1 0 tun0
224 10.0.0.1 US 0 0 tun0
After a ppp close, I'm left with
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
10.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UGHS 1 0 lo0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 0 lo0
196.7.101.66 196.7.101.141 UH 1 0 tun0
196.7.101.141 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0
224 10.0.0.1 US 0 0 tun0
Before connecting again, I su to root and run a script containing
netstat -r | grep '^[0-9]\{1,3\}\.' | awk '{print $1;}' | xargs -n1 route delete
route flush
which leaves me with
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0
224 10.0.0.1 US 0 0 tun0
However, there must be something amiss somewhere. If I now do
dial my_psp
again, it works only about 70 percent of the time. Otherwise I get a message
rtinit: wrong ifa (...) was (...)
I feel sure I must have something set up wrong ... or maybe various things
set up wrong. :-)
Surely it should be possible to say (in effect) "OK, just forget all routing
info from that last session." If that could happen, I think things would be
OK, because it _always_ works correctly the first session.
All this is a lot to bother anyone with, so feel free to >/dev/null it
if too much trouble. :-)
