Subject:   [2.1.6] iijppp -auto & route table bogus entry
Message-ID:  <87n2u2o16p.fsf@luddite.org>

I use iijppp as my only network connection. Under 2.1.5, things were
completely fine. ppp works fine now, but the routing table ends up
being weird after ppp connects for the first time:

Here's `netstat -rn` before connection:

default            208.192.224.5      UGc         0        0      tun0
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0       45       lo0
208.192.224.5      208.192.224.119    UH          1        0      tun0

After the connection is established, it looks like:

default            208.192.224.5      UGc         6        2      tun0
127.0.0.1          127.0.0.1          UH          0       29       lo0
208.192.224.5      208.192.224.119    UH          7        0      tun0
208.192.224.119    127.0.0.1          UH          0        0       lo0


Now, if I delete the bogus route (that last one) manually, kill ppp,
and then reconnect, no extra route gets added, and it looks just
fine. Weird, huh?

I start ppp from rc.local.

The pertinent part of ppp.conf:

  set ifaddr  208.192.224.119/24 208.192.224.5 netmask 0xffffff00
  add 0 0 208.192.224.5

and ppp.linkup

  delete ALL
  add 0 0 HISADDR


Is this addressed in 2.1.6.1 (or whatever -stable is at now)?
