I ran into stuff about PPPoE. Specifically: pppoed_enable="NO" # Run the PPP over Ethernet daemon. pppoed_provider="*" # Provider and ppp(8) config file entry. pppoed_flags="-P /var/run/pppoed.pid" # Flags to pppoed (if enabled). pppoed_interface="fxp0" # The interface that pppoed runs on. I'm going to have to usd PPPoE soon for an adsl connection I'm switching to. However, most places I've checked out on the net do not use this apparent daemon when configuring FreeBSD to use such a connection. I'm wondering if any of you here have used this pppoed, or know where I can get some examples of it applied on the net somewhere. Lastly, does this run alone, or would I still have to make all the modifications necessary to ppp? (man pppoe said that it does still require that netgraph stuff, but it doesn't seem as though it necessarily has to be compiled in the kernel) -Sandro To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
