Bug#4264: DIP/PPP support incorrect.
Package: netstd
Version: 2.06-1
Hi...
In the README file for ppp in /usr/doc/pppd it says:
2. Make sure pppd is where dip thinks it is: /usr/lib/ppp/pppd, or
make a link from there to where pppd really is. (Or re-compile dip
to tell it where pppd is on your system - see pathnames.h).
Now, if I were to fire up a connection with DIP using ppp.dip in the examples
for dip (of course, modifying it to my purposes) then it can't find a pppd
to execute because there is no /usr/lib/ppp directory for dip to execute a
pppd in. Making the directory and symlinking it seems to make it work.
