First, I am NOT using routed or gated, do I HAVE to run one of them? I do have ppp configured in the kernel, the pppuser has a shell of /usr/bin/ppp. /etc/ppp.sys has this configuration: Pdialin:\ :dv=/dev/tty:\ :cm=:\ :id#0:\ :ld=/netscripts/ppp.down:\ :lu=/netscripts/ppp.up:\ :if=inet <local ip> <remote ip> <netmask> I have also used the exact ppp.sys.sample configs(with the correct ip). My modems are set for 8 bit clear, hardware flow control mode. Both my gettytab and , ttys, and rc.local files are correct for this setup. My problem is, the arp entry is never written to the routing table! Is this because of the fact that I am NOT running gated? Why would I need to run gated if the ppp.up files has an PROXY arp entry? Also, will a chmod of 555 work for the /etc/netscripts? If anyone can help, PLEASE do so, Ive been working on this for weeks! ============================================================================== Maria Martinez GVM Global The Postal Connection maria@gvmglobal.com Voice: 708-298-1069 Fax: 708-298-1473
