Boot Issues

After configuration, PPP will be enabled automatically when the system boots. If you use the NIS name service, PPP will attempt to dial the remote PPP server when the NIS daemon, ypbind, is started. If you do not want PPP to allow automatic connections, change the ifconfig line in the /etc/asppp.cf file so the interface is marked down. In the earlier example, the line would appear as:

ifconfig ipdptp0 plumb Gypsy PPPserver private down

After boot, it is necessary to reestablish the default route, using the route command.

% route add default PPPserver 1
