I looked into this once, it seems ppp interfaces are assigned a little deep in the kernel making the modification nessesary to do this a bit convoluted, invasive and difficult. It's somewhere near the very back of my TODO list. 2 options: 1) useland ppp 2) a script that monitors what ppp interface is attached to which ttyd so that mrtg can parse this. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
