Thanks for the quick response, Frans! I've done some more investigations, and it looks like this is not a new inconsistency. It seems to already exist for quite a while. I have multiple etch boxes here, some with "provider" and some with "dsl-provider". AFAICS, it boils down to how pppoe was installed: 1. Some boxes were installed with vanilla intstall cd. Here, pppoe is installed manually by running "pppoeconf ethX" which stores into /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider 2. Other boxes are installed with ppp-udeb preseeded. Here, ppp-udeb.postinst stores configuration into /etc/ppp/peers/provider -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
