Many of the configuration values are only used at negotiation time. Those, you norrmally can't change without reopening the link. The STD on PPP implies that it should be possible to renegotiate the link without physically dropping carrier (by sending an LCP packet, for instance), but I doubt ppp supports it (and I don't really think it should).

RE: PPP Question - should be easy...
Killall ppp followed by ppp -ddial xxx Where xxx is the section header name in the ppp.conf you want to exec. User ppp always reads the default: section name, just add other section names containing your different values. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Chris Knipe Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2004 4:52 PM To: FreeBSD Questions Subject: PPP Question - should be easy... Hi all, I was just wondering, I run ppp from rc.conf with -ddial, and it is working brilliantly. However, I need to change ppp configurations quite frequently, is there a quick way to tell ppp to reload the configuration without killing it? I am specifically looking to change values in the label that is run from rc.conf with -ddial... I'm hoping in some way that I can send ppp a -HUP and it will use the new values when the ppp process reconnects automatically in -ddial mode. Thanks for your time, and I look forward to some possible answers.
