AFAIK there is no mechanism to start more than one ppp with the current rc.d/ppp script via rc.conf. Thus I can't imagine how this can work if I do this with a tun device that does correspond to the ppp started via rc.d/ppp. And it will still terminate processes that are unrelated to the pp started via rc.d/ppp if it is used without the additional parameter. So I don't think, this can fix the real problem, that there is no way to identify the ppp instance that were started via rc.d/ppp. At least I see no such way. Do I miss something? Nicolas
