Dec 15 08:01:03 mybsd ppp[11735]: Error: select: Bad file descriptor
Dec 15 23:53:19 mybsd ppp[16264]: Warning: _PATH_ALIAS 
(/usr/lib/libalias.so.2.4): Invalid lib: open failed for 
"/usr/lib/libalias.so.2.4" : No such file or directory 
Dec 15 23:53:19 mybsd ppp[16264]: Warning: Cannot load alias library 

The above showed up in messages after I compiled/installed 971215 of ppp. 
Its there but never showed up again in the messages. And whats a bad file 
descriptor? I backed up my old PPP stuff, but forgot to backup the lib 
files for -alias. Is there going to be a prob with using the 970820 ppp 
with the 971215 libalias files? So far there doesnt seem to be.

Dec 16 23:29:40 mybsd /kernel: stray irq 7
Dec 16 23:29:42 mybsd last message repeated 4 times
Dec 16 23:29:42 mybsd /kernel: too many stray irq 7's; not logging any more

This happend the first time I managed to get ppp to dial out after 
compiling/installing 971215 of ppp. Ive had them before, but only a few. 
Never this bad.

Dec 17 12:00:48 mybsd ppp[17912]: tun0: Warning: DialModem: dial failed. 

I dont know what this is. I have cron jobs at 0200,(the default system 
maint). At 0800, 1200 and 1700 hours cron jobs dial out for mail. None of 
them worked but this was what was recorded in /var/log/messages. 
What file is being referred to here? tun0.pid?

Dec 17 17:41:56 mybsd /kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf091c180) was (0xf07f9600)
Dec 17 18:12:03 mybsd init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv1, 
sleeping 30 secs

At 1800 hours I doing a few things trying to figure out why ppp was not 
working correctly, when at 18:12 things froze up on me and all three 
vtty's were logged out automatically and I couldnt log back in. I got weird 
chars when I tried to log back in.

I had X running and was able to <alt>-f4 into it and everything was still 
running and no other errors had been reported on any of the windows, or 
in the messages file.

PPP was running as a -auto -alias process at this point and it seemed to be 
the thing mucking everything up so killed it, switched back to a vtty 
and was able to log in again.

Dialup also screwed up. Seems I had ppp.conf set to 115200, yet I am 
using std.38400 for dialup. I guess ppp was overriding the getty cause 
after ppp had dialed out I just got garbage when I dialed in.  Is that 
possible?

Sorry for the long post but I would like to use the newer version of PPP 
since it has some nice logging features now that I would like to use.
BTW this is BSD 2.1.7.

Thanks for any insight.
