Hi, I would like to be able to control ppp running in -auto mode by using pppctl, but I cannot get it to work properly. The appropriate entries in ppp.conf appear to be: set server /var/run/internet "" 0177 # (taken from the FreeBSD Boook) or, with a password: set server /var/tmp/internet "MySecretPassWord 0177 to close the connection the following can be issued via a shell script: #!/bin/sh exec pppctl /var/run/internet set timeout 300\;close But all I get is the message "Socket operation on non-socket". Any ideas what else I need to do? Cheers ric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
