Apperently, the problem im having was also in 2.2-releng but NOT in 2.2.2-RELEASE. Anyway, the problem I'm having, is that its not accepting a command line option do dial a specific profile in the background with ppp -background mich (where mich is the name of a properly setup section in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf . What it does it says "Must specify dstaddr with auto, background or ddial mode." Also, some options that worked before were set speed 134400 and set vjcomp off. These do not work and yield errors as follows: 134400: Invalid speed Usage: set speed value .... vjcomp: Invalid command Also, even though ppp is -r-sr-x--- 1 root network 118784 Sep 4 11:12 ppp and my username is in the network group, I still get "You may only run ppp in client mode as user id 0" unless I use ppp as root. If I dont use -background, the ppp still works ok with dial mich. >How-To-Repeat: Explained above. >Fix: ? ;) Think back, what did someone break along the way? (j/k) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
