Under 9.2 I could connect to the Internet on boot by adding "/usr/bin/wvdial" to /etc/rc.local. However, under 10.0 it won't connect, and /var/log/daemons/errors gives the following:
Mar 31 18:15:03 localhost pppd[4425]: Couldn't set pass-filter in kernel: Invalid argument
Mar 31 18:35:29 localhost pppd[3984]: pppd is unable to open the /dev/ppp device. You need to create the /dev/ppp device node by executing the following command as root: ^Imknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
Running mknod gives the error that /dev/ppp already exists, and the file is impossible to move or remove. Any ideas what I should do?
Don't worry - it seems to have sorted itself out, though I have no idea why. A couple of reboots did the trick (I know rebooting loses you Linux credibility points, but when you're dealing with running services at boot, it's necessary). That's the thing I like about Linux - usually the system is smarter than I am.
