How about setting the DEMAND option in the file as the norm. Then in your rc.local file, you could issue an ifup ppp0 command. This would offer the ONBOOT functionality, without running into the previous snag. Hope this helps. Jeff Hogg P.S. Just from curiosity, is there any particular reason to have it activate at boot time, rather than just as you need it after the boot time, via the demand option? _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
