I am in the process of switching back to Debian from Red Hat, and am
having one serious problem ... I have paying customers who need my
virtual host web site to be up and running but I can't seem to get it
to work.
Under Red Hat, I had the PPP ip-up script do this:
ifconfig ${PPP_IFACE}:0 <ipaddr>
However when I try this under Debian, I get this error:
SIOCSIFADDR: Operation not supported by device
ppp0:0: unknown interface.
Perhaps there was some extra step that I had done under Red Hat to
make this syntax possible, but I can't remember what it is. Whatever
it is, it should work the same no matter which Linux distribution I
use, shouldn't it?
This is dreadfully urgent; if you know the answer please let me know.
--Bill.
