hello all, i'm probably not going to be able to explain this very well, but i hope nevertheless that this information will prove to be of some use. 4-Current (last build perhaps 1 week ago) i portupgraded ltmdm last night. when i booted my desktop this morning, ltmdm would no longer connect. i tried running ppp manually and kept getting /dev related errors. it would appear that /dev/cual0 had disappeared from /dev since my upgrading the port. (because it was working fine the previous evening) i tried 'sh MAKEDEV cual' and 'sh MAKEDEV all' but no happiness. it seems that this device no longer exists in MAKEDEV. i'm not quite sure which step (or combination of steps) /fixed/ the problem, but i ended getting the connection back up. steps taken include: 1) pkg_add an old version of ltmdm that i keep on hand for emergencies 2) copying older versions of the comm/ltmdm files into ports and rebuilding 2) adding cual lines to MAKEDEV (simply by following the other examples, despite having no real understanding of what i was doing) errors taken from /var/log/messages include: ppp[215]: tun0: Warning: Chat script failed ppp[2556]: tun0: Warning: Chat script failed ppp[2559]: tun0: Warning: deflink: tcsetattr: Failed configuring device ppp[2559]: tun0:Warning:deflink:tcsetattr:Unable to restore device settings and, of course, variations of this one, as i tried the different devices which struck me as possible alternatives to cual0: ppp[2573]: tun1: Warning: deflink: /dev/cualal: Bad file descriptor anyway. i'm back online with ltmdm-1.4_5, am now portdowngrading the ltmdm port, and rebuilding to the last known working version (_12). hopefully that will sort out my connectivity issues for the next while. if you'd like me to test anything, please just say the word. hope that this helps. cheers, epi
