OK I did
rgrep -r ppp0 *
and I got nothing back from it.

Here is what I remember just prior to this happening. I recall setting
a couple of configs in netconfig, I was attempting to get my modem
to dial up by adjusting the com port settings and DNS settings, again
it was after working in netconf is when I began to get the errors.
OK, I also (just now) went into /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp to
have a look around and see if I had been in there before making new
configs, and I have not. Nope never seen it before now, so nothing new
in there from me unless it was set in netconf. I also popped open
ifdown-ppp and also no new configs there from me, yet anyway. :)
Same goes for /etc/ppp/ip-up, nada.

Perhaps this is it, sounds like what it is doing when I boot up
but could I have done this from netconf?

I made a couple of other notes while checking around in hopes
that they may be helpful in figuring this out. I noticed that on
the NETWORKING TAB I have 'activate interface at boot' selected
in the PPP interface ppp0 and restart link at connection. <-- could this
be my problem? I noticed that when I shut down Linux last night
I did not get the *RED* [FAILED] message on the ppp0 shutdown,
however when I rebooted this morning I still get the *RED* [FAILED]
message during 'bringing up interface ppp0 hangs then [FAILED], I
also get the [FAILED] mark on my cdrom2, but I will deal with that
later. :)
Also here are a couple of my notes on what exactly I have configured
in netconf.
NETWORKING
name server spec DNS
PPP dialout =
PPP/SLIP/PLIP =ppp0
USER ACCOUNTS
PPP = none
POP = none
SERVERS
aren't these configs for my users?
not counting root or sympa, why aren't my user accounts there?
is this for virtual users?
So many new questions. :)
Here are also some notes from my config logs that I made in
relation to ppp0.
FIRST DAY
Executing: /sbin/ifup ppp0
*command takes more than 15 seconds odd
*killed by Operator <--me
Executing: /sbin/clock -w
Grabbing some late messages from command
/sbin/ifup ppp0
Failed to activate with error 8
Grabbing some late messages from command
Failed to activate error 5
FOLLOWING DAY
Setting Firewalling<--may be a key
Executing: /sbin/ifup ppp0
*ppp0 already up initiating redialing
*return 33
Executing: /sbin/ifdown ppp0
Executing: /sbin/ifdown ppp0
Executing: /sbin/clock -w
Note: I have not made any configs in FIREWALLING,
it is all there but I have not activated any of it yet.
Also when shutting down netconf I get;
command /usr/sbin/diald missing
and it offers a remedy but it doesn't seem to work.
I think it wanted to install a file and could not locate
it or something, I will have to look again on that one.
Thanks again,
