Strange to me. > this message is most probably caused by code in if_spppsubr.c which tries= to update the route entries whenever the IP address of an interface chang= es. IIRC it gets called unconditionally. If you do a "route add default" e.g.= in /etc/rc.isdn then the code in if_spppsubr.c will try to change the IF route when you ifconfig the interface and cause a clash. Take a look at the code. That's what it's there for. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
