While we're on the subject of 2 IP addresses on 1 machine, is there a way for ppp0 to co-exist with eth0? I use a 4-port ADSL modem/router. On the few occasions that I fall back to dialup (mostly occasional tests to confirm it still works), I have to run the following (with appropriate entries in /etc/sudoers.conf)... ~/bin/dialup to connect to dialup #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/cp -f /etc/ssmtp/295.ssmtp.conf /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/pon 295caext ~/bin/dialdown to re-connect to eth0 #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/poff /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/cp -f /etc/ssmtp/istop.ssmtp.conf /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf /usr/bin/sudo /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart Is there a way use dialup without tearing down eth0? -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
