Using DHCP you should be assigned a hostname automatically. No need to set HOSTNAME manually in /etc/rc.conf. If not assigned one (sadly, this happens with some ISPs), whip up a script that finds your IP in /var/db/dhclient.leases and runs it through host(1) and then sets it as your hostname. Have it run on startup by naming it whatever.sh, make it executable and put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.

I pretty much just used the pppoe entry from /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample. Something like this: /etc/ppp/ppp.conf: sbc: # Replace "rl0" with your interface connected to the DSL box set device PPPoE:rl0 # Hmmm... maybe these aren't needed anymore: set mru 1492 set mtu 1492 set speed sync enable lqr set cd 5 set dial set login set redial 0 0 set authname set authkey add default HISADDR /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces="rl0 lo0" # The pppoe interface has to be configured as "up". Nothing else. ifconfig_rl0="up" ppp_enable="YES" ppp_mode="ddial" ppp_nat="YES" ppp_profile="sbc" > I've tinkered with netgraph, pppoe, and my ppp.conf file but still get an > error about device tun0 or tun1; I'm not sure what to do. Any chance that you might be a bit more specific? (As in: exactly what you did, and exactly what error messages that resulted in. FreeBSD version might be useful information too). Both "tun" and "netgraph" should be autoloaded by ppp(8). Everything should work out-of-the-box. No tinkering required :-) The only gotcha I can remember was that the interface used for PPPoE has to be "ifconfig up" in order to be usable. I don't even know whether that is true any more. > Also, how do I know what hostname to set in my rc.conf file ... before > I've been assigned a dynamic IP?? Anything you want. SBC won't care and it won't be visible to the outside world anyway. $.02, /Mikko To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
SBC DSL vs Fbsd 4.7 PPPoE?
How-do. Has anyone gotten SBC's DSL service working on FreeBSD? I've tinkered with netgraph, pppoe, and my ppp.conf file but still get an error about device tun0 or tun1; I'm not sure what to do. Also, how do I know what hostname to set in my rc.conf file ... before I've been assigned a dynamic IP?? Please CC: me in your reply. Thank you all.
