ppp on hurd

[Diego Roversi <diegor@tiscalinet.it>]

Hello,

I tryed the GNU/Hurd ppp port, but I can't reproduce the configuration
explained in `examples/ppp/ppp.conf.hurd.virtual.link'.

Following the istruction I made the those steps:

1)
hurd-developer:~/src/ppp# settrans -acp /tmp/foo /hurd/pfinet -i tun1
hurd-developer:~/src/ppp# ps -ef | grep tun1
    root   419     1   -  0:00.06 /hurd/pfinet -i tun1
    root   421   334  p2  0:00.01 grep tun1

So now the translator is up and running

2) configured /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf
hurd-developer:~/src/ppp# telnet 0 ppp-in
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
~#À!}!}!} }8}(}"}'}"}"}&} } } } }!}$}%Ü}%}&}$<vÞî}/~
telnet> close
Connection closed.

3) running ppp:
hurd-developer:~/src/ppp# /sbin/ppp gateway
Working in interactive mode
Error: iface_Create: ioctl(SIOCGIFFLAGS): No such device.

For some reason, it can't open tun1, but I don't know why. If I try to rerun
the translator (a second one) I get this error:

hurd-developer:~/src/ppp# settrans -acp /tmp/foo /hurd/pfinet -i tun1
/hurd/pfinet: tun1: Device or resource busy
settrans: /hurd/pfinet: Translator died

I used the release of ppp 20010804. I've tried this, after upgrading some
core packages:

gnumach_20010818-1_hurd-i386.deb 
hurd_20010817-2_hurd-i386.deb
libc0.2_2.2.4-1_hurd-i386.deb

Thanks in advance.
