Hi all! I just found the hard way that my old hostname.pppoe0 file which used to work under 4.1 causes a spectacular failure on 4.2.
# sh /etc/netstart pppoe0 ifconfig: SIOCSIFGENERIC(SPPPIOSDEFS): Device busy The reason turned out to be a whitespace character after the \ sign in hostname.pppoe0. Simplest way to recreate is to take the example from man and add a whitespace at the end of the first or second line after \. # cat hostname.pppoe0 inet 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 NONE \ pppoedev vr2 authproto chap \ authname 'xxxx' authkey 'yyyy' up dest 0.0.0.1 Can somebody verify this? All my pppoe machines are remote. Thanks, Mitja
