very briefly.....I'm setting up user ppp and encounter the 
errors as follows

can't find ifindex
open_tun: no such file or directory

then the program exits
I can't find any reference for "ifindex" anywhere.
any help that points me in the right direction will be greatly
appreciated.  If more info is needed I will be glad to put that
up as well.  Thanks much
