Someone else reported this same problem back in 2005 but never got a
response, so I'll try again.
I've been running FreeBSD (userland ppp) on my old i486 firewall machine
for several years and decided to try OpenBSD 4.3 on the same machine.
I have it working well now (pppoe/DSL) except when ppp needs to change
the default route e.g. when reestablishing a dropped connection.
Here is ppp's log when that occurs:
Jun 4 06:23:21 cyr ppp[469]: TCP/IP: route_UpdateMTU: Netif: 7 (tun0),
dst 0.0.0.0/0, mtu 1492
Jun 4 06:23:21 cyr ppp[469]: ID0: 1 = socket(17, 3, 0)
Jun 4 06:23:21 cyr ppp[469]: ID0: -1 = write(1, data, 120)
Jun 4 06:23:21 cyr ppp[469]: TCP/IP: rt_Update failure:
Jun 4 06:23:21 cyr ppp[469]: TCP/IP: rt_Update: Dst = 0.0.0.0/0
Jun 4 06:23:21 cyr ppp[469]: Warning: 0.0.0.0/0: Change route failed:
errno: No such process...
Again, just for the google record: I reinstalled FreeBSD and I see the
same error message -- but the ppp connection works correctly anyway.
Apparently the 'Change route failed' error is not the real problem but
I don't know how to debug this any further.
Meanwhile I'll stay with FreeBSD. Any other suggestions are welcome.
