It is my understanding that everything in /stand is statically linked. To save on space, they did not statically link in the libalias library (needed for -nat). So, to use that functionality, you will need to use the dynamic binary in /usr/sbin. This would be a better way of exec'ing ppp: /usr/sbin/ppp -background -nat Joe Clarke On Mon, 18 Oct 1999, SunPhreek wrote: > > Hello all, > > I am wondering what causes ppp -nat to complain: > > Warning cannot load libalias (compiled out) > > This only occurs when I attempt to load ppp > from cron as: /stand/ppp -nat -background > > Is it because the root sh for cron does not have a > library path reference or something like that?
