Re: Re[2]: Working Kernel PPPd Examples?

["Brian A. Seklecki" <lavalamp@burghcom.com>]

I threw NetBSD 1.5.1-Beta2? on another identical SparcStaion LX to the one
OpenBSD was on.  I scp'd over the exact same PPP configs and swapped the
modem cable.  When I initiated a dial on the NetBSD, the CHAT process
spawned by PPPD immediately started dumping debug information into syslog.

[crowd jeers]

Syslog config problem perhaps? Didn't have to time to check before I left
work.  Command line flags/switches to chat didn't change...so ....yea
...rrrrright.

As for the documentation, I digress.  It's all wrong on both sides of the
BSD fence.  Kernel PPP is just syntax sensitive.  The syntax is completely
different for users with RADIUS attributes that include a Framed-Address
and Framed-Route statement.

I will submit some examples that explain the depths of the configuration.
