If it is not too big, I will mirror it as well. I think someone should put it on the errata because of my painful story: (Ok, like I wouldn't be blowing steam if this examples issue didn't bite me on the rear) As of 4.6 the 127.x.x.x addresses became truly local. Unfortunately they are used as the dummy addr's in the ppp-primer ppp.conf example, upon which my own ppp.conf is based. Unable to dial out, I had only the documentation resources available locally. I knew I needed to edit my ppp.conf, but I wasn't sure entirely what was wrong and the manpage isn't informative enough and that's when I needed the sample file from share/examples. At that point I was frustrated not to find it. -r To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
