The PPP launch (command line 'nice --18 ppp -auto -alias wcn') gave me the message Mar 15 13:54:14 detlev ppp[223]: Warning: _PATH_ALIAS_PREFIX (/usr/lib/libalias.so.2.*): Invalid lib: Undefined symbol "_err" in ppp:/usr/lib/libalias.so.2.5 ppp went ahead and loaded, and didn't enable aliasing. Later, I pppctl'd aliasing on, and discovered that whenever aliasing was enabled, no connection over ppp worked, whether or not it originated from the machine ppp was running on. I verified the mtime on libalias, and that the file size was the same as the one in /usr/obj. (I forgot to check ppp.) I cleaned and rebuilt libalias and ppp, and now everything works fine. I'm scratching it up to the full moon that hit during the 'make world', but am documenting it (by writing this message) in case somebody else has similar problems.
