Correct, there are no pppd(8) '/etc/ppp/options' examples anywhere in the distribution nor can I find any traces that there have ever been any. However, I don't see where it is actually said anywhere that they should exist with this one exception from the manpage, EXAMPLES The following examples assume that the /etc/ppp/options file contains the auth option (as in the default /etc/ppp/options file in the ppp distribution). I cannot find a default /etc/ppp/options in the pppd distribution or any evidence there ever was one. So to summarize, where in pppd(8) did you see it say that the /etc/ppp/options exists before the user creates one? I think the only fix might be to remove the parenthesized portion in the above sentence. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt. Then it's hilarious." Crist J.
