Then you could specificy ppp_flags="-unit 0" in /etc/rc.conf and be on your way. Patches against 4.7-REL (sorry, I don't have an up-to-date -stable box). Comments requested; I will submit a PR with patches against -stable later today. --- rc.network.orig Wed Apr 2 08:23:43 2003 +++ rc.network Wed Apr 2 08:24:07 2003 @@ -284,7 +284,7 @@ ;; esac - ppp_command="${ppp_command} ${ppp_profile}" + ppp_command="${ppp_command} ${ppp_flags} ${ppp_profile}" echo "Starting ppp as \"${ppp_user}\"" su -m ${ppp_user} -c "exec ${ppp_command}" --- defaults/rc.conf.orig Wed Apr 2 08:23:12 2003 +++ defaults/rc.conf Wed Apr 2 08:23:36 2003 @@ -108,6 +108,7 @@ ppp_nat="YES" # Use PPP's internal network address translation or NO. ppp_profile="papchap" # Which profile to use from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. ppp_user="root" # Which user to run ppp as +ppp_flags="" # Additional flags to pass to ppp(8). ### Network daemon (miscellaneous) ### syslogd_enable="YES" # Run syslog daemon (or NO). -- Matt Emmerton _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
