Hi,
I followed your previous instructions to auto start ppp at boot.
In rc.local the command ppp -auto -alias ISP works.
I put this line in /etc/start_if.tun0 instaead as suggested & it
doesn't appear to work.
i.e. ping xx.xx.xx.xx doesn't initiate a dial out. Other strange
effects...Have I got things set up right??... with ppp -auto ISP
running
a) ping localhost gives a blank line
b) ping xx.xx.xx.xx gives a blank line response as well
c) ifconfig -a reports none of the interfaces...lo0 tun0 de0 sl0
as being RUNNING or UP ????
I feel so far I have learnt a hell-a-va-lot, but sooo many things
don't seem to function! I guess I'll keep trying : ^ (
I didn't really think my system was at all exotic but fbsd perhaps
thinks so?
P.S I still have no syslogd running....the system seems to remove the
/var/run/log thing each time I boot...ho hum
Joke...what do you call a fly with no wings....a walk ; ^)
Thanks for your eye/ear
