Well, I'd hoped I'd be able to do a little more before bothering the list, but...
I'd last built world around the end of April, with no problems. I then grew a fairly heavy workload, and so didn't get a chance to build world again until 2 days ago (May 24). During that time, something changed with ppp so it no longer works correctly for me (details shortly). ** I decided to check the -commit archives in case I missed an alert somewhere, and the database seems to be corrupted. Using netscape 4.5, I checked cvs-committers only, asked for articles on ppp sorted by date, and got a nice list. However, when I click on, say, 4.Brian Some cvs commit: src/usr.sbin/ppp arp.c defs.c iface.c ipcp.c tun.c Score: 711; Lines: 35; 26-Apr-1999; Archive: cvs-committers I get an article commenting on a commit to src/secure/usr.bin/bdes bdes.c. ** I normally start ppp with -auto XXX-pppd, with the following ppp.conf (I have a static IP address). # # Default setup.

It sits at the "State change Closed --> Initial" until I tell it to disconnect or the idle time goes off. ps shows it waiting on "select". All the `p's in the pppctl/ppp prompt are lower case. Curiously enough, if I do everything manually, it works! Ie, I start ppp, set device, set speed, use "term" to talk directly to the modem, and ATDT123456 to dial and then login, I get the prompt almost immediately with all upper-case Ps, and I can then enter the commands to set address/routes and it works just fine. At this moment, I'm running a 3.1 binary from the CD; it works perfectly also. Did I miss something, or is this a genuine bug? I'll be happy to try other things/supply more info on request.
