I did check this. You do not get a usable network choosing firewall when you have not installed Iptables. > > On the contrary, I think that RP-PPPoE should be dropped from the book.

Note: the wiki has a missing '<': cat >/usr/bin/pcall <"EOF" ^ Also to give credit, the /etc/ppp/peers/pppoe should read: # 'Roaring Penguin' pppoe plugin is included in the ppp distribution. # There is no need to install the rp-pppoe package. I hacked the BLFS pppoe service to use the start/stop commands the wiki suggests. Everything works as expected. I think removing RP-PPPoE is a valid suggestion. Perhaps just a pointer to the wiki in 'Other Connections'. --- David Jensen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
