>Organization:
Vuurwerk Internet
>Environment:

kernel and world couple of days old, using very plain ppp.conf base
on ppp.conf.sample

>Description:

The line
 add default HISADDR			# Add a (sticky) default route
apparantly triggers some parsing bug in /usr/sbin/ppp. Removing tabs
helps.

>How-To-Repeat:

Add above line (which exists in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf by default after a
recent cvsup) to ppp.conf and try to use ppp. It will most probably
complain about failing to add a route, and after dialin will not set
a default route.

>Fix:

Workaround: remove tabs (or, just to be sure, everything) after 'HISADDR'.
