(-: hey doc...ummm...well...you see...I got this problem...my ppp is hosed. ok...here are the bugs I've discovered: dialin and login, and, manually do a add 0 0 HISADDR get disconnected, or manually disconnect try it again. ppp gets angry when you try to add the route, says it's already there...and it is...the right one, too, except it refuses to route any packets. bug #2: get disconnected. dialin again notice how sometimes you see a slew of # prompts and filenames scroll by at random. notice that you're still at the login prompt (even though you can't see it) about 75% of the time, and you can log in, but the above bug is still present. worse...notice that 25% of the time you're actually AT your root prompt. maybe it's just on my machine, but I don't like the fact that it's happening...I'm going to look at my config, however, and change it to the new format. -Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
