Hello- I asked a few days ago if anyone knew what could cause errors of the form ifindex: not found open_tun: no such file or directory when user ppp is started. Actually, ppp terminates right there, i.e. I dont get the ppp on hostname> prompt. Well, I wasn't able to solve the problem with the few answers I received, so I'm asking again if anyone knows what could cause this. My modem is on COM2 (/dev/cuaa1), but I have created tun0 in the /dev directory using MAKEDEV because I have found no indication that it should be tun1. Does the number of the tunnel device need to correspond to that of the com port? Also, should tun0 be set up in /etc/sysconfig? I get the same error messages whther or not it is. If I remember right, for the few days that I ran 2.1.0R, I didn't have tun0 set up but user ppp worked just fine (at least I got a ppp on hostname> prompt). I am currently running 2.1.5R on a 100 MHz Pentium with a Hayes Accura 14.4 external modem. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Ernie Pistor
