I just saw an announcement in one of the Linux groups about a new version of pppd (2.1.2d), and one of the fixes was to reset all of the alarm masks back to default so that sendmail would work properly in the ip-up script. That sounded somewhat familar, so I applied the patch and sure enough, my ntpdate problem went away (ping started working in the ip-up script, too). So I guess after 2.0.5 gets out the door, we should upgrade pppd to the new version. -- Mike Pritchard mpp@legarto.minn.net "Go that way. Really fast. If something gets in your way, turn"
