Many Thanks, the trick works:
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
That's why you see this e-mail sent from 2.2.7,
not from 2.0.36 anymore. :-) However, a similar
bad thing still happens with diald. Using diald
was the reason I compiled 2.2.7 in the first place
-- I didn't have SLIP checked in 2.0.36, and if
recompile a kernel, why not the latest version?
But diald gives me more ppp-compress-2{1,4,6}
trouble -- yes, it wants more modules, it desires
ppp-compress-24
ppp-compress-26
When I added to /etc/conf.modules:
alias ppp-compress-24 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-26 bsd_comp
it times out on the pppd
May 9 15:44:25 yaw pppd[668]: IPCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
If I say in /etc/conf.modules
alias ppp-compress-24 off
alias ppp-compress-26 off
then pppd by itself is fine, but under diald, same
`timeout'.
BTW, diald is getting old; under 2.2.7, the
following warning is issued by the kernel:
May 9 15:26:21 yaw kernel: diald uses obsolete (PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET)
I wonder why kernel docs don't say anything about
ppp-compress-*; does upgrading pppd make sense? I
mean, will it know to use only bsd_comp instead of
all those missing ones?
And finally, today is the Mother's day in the US,
and the V-Day in Russia, and yesterday was the
V-Day in the US & Europe. So congratulations to
unix, the mother of linux, and the V-Day is not
too far for linux, too! :-)
