I am not sure if this is related, but I changed this /etc/init.d/network:
________________________________________________________________________
#! /bin/sh
# network: establish the network connection.
# $Id: network,v 1.1 1995/02/19 20:29:29 imurdock Exp $
# Configure the loopback device.
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add 127.0.0.1
# Configure the ethernet device or start SLIP/PPP below.
IPADDR="0.0.0.0" # Your IP address.
NETMASK="255.255.255.0" # Your netmask.
NETWORK="0.0.0.0" # Your network address.
BROADCAST="" # Your broadcast address (blank if none).
GATEWAY="#.#.#.#" # Your gateway address.
sendmail -bd -q5m
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where #.#.#.# is the gateway (obviously).
and the /etc/ppp/options
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
:#.#.#.#
netmask 255.255.255.0
connect /etc/ppp/ppp-connect
/dev/cua1
38400
crtscts
xonxoff
persist
modem
defaultroute
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where #.#.#.# is the gateway address.
defaultroute should set up some of the table.
As far as I know, that's it. Oh btw I use PPPd with no 'diald' or 'dip'. I
could never get diald to do _anything_ it just sat there. (PPPd works fine
anyway.) I use a script called from /etc/crontab to keep the connection up
all the time, except if there exists a file called /root/.pppoff, in which
case it is kept unconnected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
# This is a script to turn PPP on and off. It is
# meant to be run from crontab periodically to keep
# the connection up.
# (I wrote this.)
# TURN PPP ON IF NOT ON AND /root/.pppoff DOES NOT EXIST
if [ ! -f $HOME/.pppoff ]
then
if [ ! -f /var/run/ppp0.pid ]
then
start-stop-daemon --start --verbose --exec /usr/sbin/pppd > /dev/null
fi
fi
# TURN PPP OFF IF ON AND /root/.pppoff EXISTS
if [ -f $HOME/.pppoff ]
then
if [ -f /var/run/ppp0.pid ]
then
start-stop-daemon --stop --verbose --exec /usr/sbin/pppd > /dev/null
fi
fi
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Occasionally this will give funny results, but I think that's only when it's
running and you invoke it again. Nothing major happens, but it gives cron
something to write home about. (Or is that the popclient script?)
kernel: unregister_netdev: device 'ppp0' unlinked
I get these too, I have no idea why, but it works anyway.
