Re: resolve.conf specification
I like your script (I used to something very similar), but I have since modified mine to use the PPP_IPPARAM feature of later pppd's. In my /etc/ppp/peers/ispX file I just add the ipparam option which is passed to the ip-up/ip-down scripts. It made my life a bunch esier than trying to figure out who I called by with IP address I ended up with. D.L.

RE: PPP options for different providers - how ? (LONG Re:)
Sorry for being so late in getting this response out, but I was quite busy
and away from my machine last week, so here it is for anyone wants it.
In my situation I connect to two different ISP's. pppconfig works great
for setting up the connection, but fails to handle /etc/hosts and
/etc/resolv.conf so I wrote a little perl script to be called by
ip-up/ip-down to take care of things. Included in this message is perl
script and sample scripts for the ip-up.d and ip-down.d directories. I
run a cache only nameserver on my machine while disconnected or connected
to ISP-1, when I am connected to ISP-2 I use their nameservers. With this
setup I do have to modify the files in /etc/ppp/peers created by pppconfig
and make sure the ipparm option is included. (I remember when pppd didn't
have that option and I had to figure out which ISP I was connected to by
examining the local IP address, ipparam is much nicer.) So without
further ado here are my sample scripts and the mkhost.pl script. Good
Luck and Have FUN!!!

Problems with StarOffice 5.0 Registration
Steve, I am having the same problem registering StarOffice 5.0 that you explained. When I try to do an online registration I get the HTML page and email with my Customer Number and Registration Key, but there is a failure. When I try to enter the Customer Number and Registration Key by hand the Enable Key button is greyed out. If you manage to get past this problem can forward on your solution. Thanks.

Re: [OFFTOPIC] rc5-race is running!
So far I have read a lot about everybody joining in, what name to run under and how to split the money. But I have only seen two URL's on where to get info for this. One is the at upenn.edu where I could only find a precompiled binary, but NO Documentation or Source Code. I also saw a reference to the stats Web Page, but that page had no reference to any Documentation or Source Code. Where can one find this vital info? I don't relish the idea of running a binary that is in constant communication with another host on the internet if I can't get my hands on some Documentation and Source Code. I am sure this exists somewhere on the net, but it would be nice if someone would post a pointer to it on the list here. Thanks. D.L. / [EMAIL PROTECTED]Virtual .sig file #2342371.

Re: Set up PPP for two ISPs
My kludgy, but servicable and robust approach to this is to keep two sets of files. Mine are named *.isp1 and *.isp2. I then have two connect pre-scripts that simple copy all the correct files and then call the ppp-on script or whatever you use to start up ppp. The files of interest are: /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ppp/options (and any files referenced here, like chatscripts) /etc/ip-up(if you use them) /etc/ip-down Basically any file that you have to alter for the second ISP. As an example here is my ppp.aracnet script that I use to connect to aracnet.com: #!/bin/bash cp /etc/resolv.conf.aracnet /etc/resolv.conf cp /etc/ppp/options.aracnet /etc/ppp/options /etc/ppp/ppp.up I use an options file with chatscript built right in (Not much chatting to do with a PAP login), and ppp.up is basically just a loop that keeps trying to dial every 20 seconds or so until it finds the link up. It is sort of a poorman's redialler. I am sure that there are many fancy ways to this sort of thing, but this method has working steadily for me for about 3 years now. I suppose you could play tricks with some of the other files in /etc also. I am not sure how some programs like their hostname changing underneath them, so I leave HOSTNAME alone. Good Luck.

Grrr! Dangling links in /usr/lib/
I am upgrading my mostly Debian 1.1 system to Debian 1.2. According to symlinks I have these dangling links: dangling: /usr/lib/libbfd.so.2.7.0.3 - libbfd.so.2.7.0.3.dpkg-tmp dangling: /usr/lib/libopcodes.so.2.7.0.3 - libopcodes.so.2.7.0.3.dpkg-tmp (Actually I have a few other, mostly in /usr/doc/..., but these are the most annoying.) I can no long compile/link any program. The compile always dies with this error message: /usr/i486-linux/bin/as: can't load library 'libbfd.so.2.7.0.3' I assume this is my fault as I upgraded my binutils without the use of Debian Packages.
