[-- Attachment #1 --] There are some omissions and errors in the user PPP chapter, and it looks like it could stand some serious updating. In "PPP and Dynamic IP Addresses", line 17 is shown as set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255 Yet the description says "The last argument (0.0.0.0) tells PPP to start negotiations using address 0.0.0.0 rather than ..." And there really should be a " 0.0.0.0" added to the end of that line; patch attached. As for the omissions, there doesn't seem to be a mention that "papchap" is the default profile name if you enable PPP in rc.conf. I only use PPP rarely, but it seems like the most common cases should be first. Today, wouldn't that be PPP enabled in rc.conf with a dynamic IP address? -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA [-- Attachment #2 --] --- chapter.sgml.orig 2010-05-19 15:40:40.000000000 -0600 +++ chapter.sgml 2010-05-19 15:42:39.000000000 -0600 @@ -579,7 +579,7 @@ <link linkend="userppp-staticIP">PPP and Static IP Addresses</link>, with the following change:</para> - <programlisting>17 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255</programlisting> + <programlisting>17 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0</programlisting> <para>Again, do not include the line number, it is just for reference.
