This is because ppp sees that IPV6 is supported, and listens on an IPV6 socket instead of an IPV4 one, but pppctl only supports IPV4. >How-To-Repeat: Add "set server +3000 mypass" to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Start ppp. See that it's only listening on IPV6: $ netstat -na | grep 3000 tcp6 0 0 *.3000 *.* LISTEN Run "pppctl 3000" and see that it doesn't work: $ pppctl 3000 pppctl: cannot connect to socket 3000: Connection refused >Fix: Make ppp listen on IPV4, or make pppctl support IPV6. The first one is easy, but the second one is more politically correct. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
