>Description:
ppp_mode in rc.conf is set to 'ddial', but the start script /etc/rc.d/ppp sets it to 'auto'.
The following part
eval _ppp_mode=\$ppp_${_ppp_profile}_mode
if [ -z "$_ppp_mode" ]; then
_ppp_mode=$ppp_mode
fi
sets _ppp_mode to '-dsl_mode' instead of 'ddial'. This is invalid and therefore set to 'auto' later on.
My settings in rc.conf are:
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="NO"
ppp_profile="t-dsl" # name of service provider
>How-To-Repeat:
Set rc.conf to:
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="NO"
ppp_profile="t-dsl" # name of service provider
>Fix:
I'm not an expert in shell programming unfortunately...
