Seems like you are running ppp 2.3.3 here and then 2.3.7 further down. This could be
you problem. What do
the others think? And what do you do about it:
I would say:
find out which version Redhat thinks it's using:
rpm -q ppp
Then uninstall that version:
rpm -ev ppp-2xxxxx
Then reinstall it from the CD (mount the CD first)
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS
ls ppp*
rpm -ivh ppp-2xxx.i386.rpm
and try again to edit your ppp-on script (which you get with the ppp rpm)
Hope this helps
