As the subject says, I have finally gotten rid of the 'rtinit/wrong ifa' messages I was getting from (iij)ppp & the kernel. And as Garrett wrote sometime around January 2nd, it was definitely a routing problem. After trying several /etc/* variations (working setup shown below), I finally got the correct combination. My ISP provides ppp users with a unique IP address, AND an Easy- To-Remember dns entry: 'hostname=jbarrm.bora_bora.access.org'. This is the value that was missing, and thus, the one that was causing all of the problems. ######################### Start Of Netconfig Section ####################### # (from) $Id: sysconfig,v 1.14.4.5 1995/09/19 12:09:03 jkh Exp $ #[edit] # from /etc/sysconfig jbarrm 1/26/96 #hostname=myname.my.domain #hostname=moonfoot.com hostname=jbarrm.bora_bora.access.org network_interfaces="lo0 tun0" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" #ifconfig_tun0="inet moonfoot.com 198.7.0.124 netmask 0xffffff00" ifconfig_tun0="inet jbarrm.bora_bora.access.org 198.7.0.124 netmask 0xffffff00" #[line wrap above] ... # (from) $Id: hosts,v 1.5 1995/04/09 09:54:39 rgrimes Exp $ #[edit] # from /etc/hosts jbarrm 1/26/96 # #127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain 127.0.0.1 localhost moonfoot.com #127.0.0.1 localhost jbarrm.bora_bora.access.org # # Imaginary network. #10.0.0.2 myname.my.domain myname #10.0.0.3 myfriend.my.domain myfriend #166.86.205.171 moonfoot.com moonfoot 166.86.205.171 jbarrm.bora_bora.access.org jbarrm # A tricky combination, /etc/sysconfig & /etc/hosts, but it now works.
