After getting told to jump in the water :), and upgrading to 7.2 on this server here I did.
I also ran up2date to update to all latest packages, and updated the kernel via that as well for good measure. In theory I now have the latest and greatest. So, after spending all of today fixing everything that broke (which is pretty much everything I had running), I seem to be back on-line. Lo and behold, the ppp problem I experienced on the customer's server happened to me on this server as well (complete lock-out on start-up, with only Ctrl-Alt-Dlt possible). (P.S. Dial-up on /dev/modem, configured both manually, and then tried with rp3) I've finally traced it back to the 'DEMAND' option in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0. Turning it off fixes it. I can put it on, but then I have to turn off 'ONBOOT' to get past start-up. Now, I'm SURE they're not supposed to be mutually exclusive, this has always worked fine in RH 6.2! Seems it sits there waiting indefinately for ppp to come up, which isn't going to happen because no packets have flowed yet........ Anybody come up with anything? Is this a bug of some sort? On second thought, I'll leave the bind part of my question for later - one thing at a time on a Sunday :) Regards, --- Edward Dekkers (Director) Triple D Computer Services Pty.
