ppp
Efforts to convince pon and pppd that defaultroute is enabled have been
unsuccessful.
I edited /etc/init.d/network as follows:
!/bin/sh
#ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
#route add -net 127.0.0.0
Pon then still returns the error 'defaultroute option is disabled' .
I dont have less in the basic install so I tried grep defaultroute
/etc/ppp/peers/* which returned:
/etc/ppp/peers/partyline and
/etc/ppp/peers/provider
/etc/ppp/peers/partyline claims to be generated by pppconfig and contains
the following points: noauth, connect, debug, /dev/ttyS2, 38400,
defaultroute, noipdefault, and user wtb.
/etc/ppp/peers/provider contains the following points: #noauth, connect,
defaultroute, /dev/ttyS2, 38400, and persist.
Pon, Pon partyline andpon provider all return the error 'defaultroute option is
disabled' .
In total disgust I decided to reinstall the whole system in the
hope that it would correct any mistakes I had made. Silly me, now Debian
is so entrenched in my box that it wont accept the lowmem.bin floppy to
start the reinstall. 'disk read error' . The rescue disk rebooted the
system but used the present files and not the five base disks.
Is there a way to get all new files related to ppp, pap, and pon/poff
on floppies. --or is there some other way to rebuild this broken ppp thread in
my machine??? Thanks, Bill
