I solved my own problem... it turns out that my naming conventions caused
an issue when MPD labelled the PPP node. It truncated the bundle names at
8 characters, and since mine were 8 characters plus a number following the
truncated names for all the links were identical, and it refused to load
them.
It was naming them like so:
[pptp0] ppp node is "mpd50391-pptpbund" -- should have been
mpd50391-pptpbundle0
[pptp1] ppp node is "mpd50391-pptpbund" -- should have been
mpd50391-pptpbundle1
Now it names them like so:
"mpd50391-pptp0"
"mpd50391-pptp1"
in my mpd.conf I changed this:
----------
pptp0:
new -i ng0 pptpbundle0 pptplink0
...
pptp1:
new -i ng1 pptpbundle1 pptplink1
...
----------
to this:
----------
pptp0:
new -i ng0 pptp0 pptplink0
...
pptp1:
new -i ng1 pptp1 pptplink1
...
----------
And now it works fine :)
So the moral of the story is: don't make your bundle names identical over
8 characters...
Thanks for everyone's help (especially Julian for his method to simplify
the mpd.conf file!)
Best regards,
Ryan Morris
