Hello,
I hope this is a simple question.
When I'm in the shell (csh text display), and run iijppp from a
freshly booted system, I get the following message (below is a sample
from past log entries):
Dec 17 08:59:50 /kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf054e500) was (0xf04dee00)
Dec 18 11:22:24 /kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf051fe00) was (0xf04dee00)
Dec 28 21:12:12 /kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf04ebc80) was (0xf04dee00)
Dec 29 17:06:01 /kernel: rtinit: wrong ifa (0xf053f680) was (0xf04dee00)
At this point I simply close & quit PPP, and restart PPP. Then all is
well. ncftp, lynx, pine, gopher, irc, rlogin, telnet, archie, all work.
In fact, I can close & quit, & restart ppp again & again. Its not until
I reboot the system and run ppp that the 'rtinit' message appears again.
Any processes I try to run while in this 'first-run' ppp mode Won't
work. This is not really a problem by itself (simply Close & Quit &
restart ppp)
But, when I finish with ppp (csh text shell), and try to 'startx', I
get the following message:
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 61
waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 61
..
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 61
..TRANS(SocketCreateListener): failed to bind listener
TRANS(SocketINETCreateListener): TRANS(SocketCreateListener) () failed
TRANS(MakeAllCOTSServerListeners) failed to create listener for tcp
Fatal server error:
Failed to establish all listening sockets
TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 61
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 61): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
Xwindows won't run After I've run ppp (from csh text shell). To run X, I
have to reboot, Then startx works without any problems. Again, this is
not really a problem, just annoying, having to reboot everytime I want
to startx after a ppp session.
( 'kill -1 1' & 'kill -HUP 1' doesn't solve this problem )
So my first question is, Does the rtinit message have anything to do
with my Not being able to startx after running ppp from the text shell?
And of course, how can I solve this problem?
My second question has to do with running ppp from Xwindows. Currently
I have the ppp files in /usr/sbin, so, to run ppp, I run it as root.
Not a problem from the shell, I've got all of those vc's.
However, I want to run X, ppp & netscape as a normal user. (ppp & netscape
work fine if I startx as root).
Question 2: Can I simply place the ppp files:
/usr/sbin
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 86016 Nov 16 04:57 ppp
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root bin 61440 Nov 16 04:57 pppd
-r-xr-sr-x 1 bin kmem 12288 Nov 16 04:57 pppstats
in my ~/home/bin directory, and expect it to run without any complaints.
Thank you
Barry Masterson
