I gathered as much from the README.changes file. My requirements for
ppp are minimal - I have a standalone system running 3.3R. I want to:
1. "off-line" use of sendmail/fetchmail/pine
2. use lynx occasionally
My ppp.conf looks something like:
default:
blah
blah
isp1:
set timeout 300
blah
isp2
set timeout 300
If I comment out the ` set timeout ` lines - the warnings go away!
I've re-made tun0 as per the various instructions to insure that it
was setup/working properly. I've editted all the other "support" files
as per the instructions, as well as creating start_if.tun0. That's it!!
Here's some relevant info:
odie[v0]:root@/root# ifconfig -a
lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.1 --> 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00
inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --> yyy.yyy.yyy.yy netmask 0xffffff00
sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552
ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
odie[v0]:root@/root# netstat -I tun0
