Looking at the wiki... correct me if I'm wrong, but all that seems that needs to be done is to have the 'ppp' daemon start, when the profile starts... so an extra option could be added, and when enabled, it causes pppd to be started and stopped with the profile. eg: PPPD="yes" Or.... looking around, is there some sort profile system that pppd uses? Would it be better to add an option PPP_PROFILE="" and the user puts their correct pppd profile in? Is there a difference in the method of starting PPP for PPPoE and PPP? I'll take another look in the morning when i've had some sleep, im hardly making any sense to myself right now. If there's anyone using PPP/PPPoE, please give me some feedback, let me know how you start it, if it has multiple configs, and if i'm on the right path. If so, I can hack up a patch in a few minutes really easily for either of those options tommorow that should work right out of the box. If it works, there probably wont be any problem with including it in the next initscripts release or two James -- iphitus - Beyond Maintainer, Arch Trusted User, Arch Developer.
