Lately, ppp takes an unusually long time starting up when the system boots. I'm running it in auto and alias mode. I have FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE, and a static IP address. The loopback device and ethernet card are configured using ifconfig, then it's tun0's turn. It sits at the initial "written by" line for a while before completely starting ppp. I initialize the tunnel device from /etc/rc.conf with the following lines: network_interfaces="lo0 ed0 tun0" ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.100.1 netmask 0xffffff00" ifconfig_tun0= Then I use the /etc/start_if.tun0 file and make the call to ppp: ppp -auto -alias demand Any reason I should be getting a 30 second delay when trying to initialize ppp?
