The problem is that RPC needs to be run from port 20, and -alias change the port numbers by default. The latest version of PPP+pktAlias handles this, and will likely be integrated in FreeBSD -current reasonably soon. Until then, download it from http://www.srv.net/~cmott/ I don't remember whether I enabled the mapping of the port to the same values as default; check the README.alias file. Eivind.
