>Number: 3114 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Use of HISADDR in ppp.conf incorrect >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Mar 26 19:40:01 PST 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Kenneth R. Westerback >Organization: >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386 >Environment: >Description: The example configuration for PPP and static IP addresses shown in section 12.1.5 of FreeBSD Handbook will not work. Line 13 is add 0 0 HISADDR which does NOT add a default route to your ISP. I'm assuming this is a documentation bug (using HISADDR in an incorrect context) rather than a ppp bug (HISADDR not being set where it should be). >How-To-Repeat: 1) Setup /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as in the example with your user specific info 2) delete or rename /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup if present 3) run ppp -auto provider 4) check netstat -rn for a default route >Fix: change line 13 to read add 0 0 y.y.y.y change Line 13: descriptive paragraph to read Adds a default route to your ISP's IP number. Note use of IP address rather than HISADDR macro. The macro is not available for use at this point. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
