So ppp(8) did insane routing message handling in its sysctl handlers.
The
worst thing about them are that their actually not needed and better
replaced with libc functions (getifaddrs and if_nametoindex).
This diff is not haevily tested (my last ppp usage is years ago) so I'm
hopeing people with ppp(8) issues could give this a whirl and see if it
fixes the problems.
Hi,
I built the kernel and userland from yesterday's cvsync and applied
the patch. I tried for the past few hours to get connected to my ISP
but unfortunately haven't been able to test the dial up ppp connection
completely. However, FWIW here is my feedback.
I got a dialup account from my ISP to test this out but I am not able
to use a PCMCIA modem -- probably something I am doing is wrong but I
don't unfortunately understand how to get over this hurdle.
I tried a different server and a different modem

The patched ppp works!! Thanks very much.
