I'm running 2.2.8-STABLE compiled Dec. 29th, 1998 and ppp dated 990112.
I've got iijppp configured to dial out on demand, and it works fine.
But one thing I noticed when I updated on the 29th. ifconfig tun0 now returns
lots and lots of data instead of only one line, as I *thought* it used to! It
seems like everytime ppp dials, it adds a new address to the interface in
ifconfig, and never deletes the old one when the link closes.
Right now, I have 132 lines when I use "ifconfig tun0". For example:
inet 204.255.227.185 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
inet 204.255.227.193 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
inet 204.255.227.155 --> 255.255.255.255 netmask 0xffffffff
Shouldn't it be just the one? The last one in the list is the latest one.
"netstat -rn" only shows the latest one, as it ought to!
It all works fine, but I just thought this was odd.
