Instead, you put in an /etc/start_if.tun0 script to start up `ppp -auto foobar' or whatever your ppp command line of choice is. This will ensure that ppp is started *before* any network services which may subsequently need it. /etc/rc.local, to say the least, is waaaaay too late! ;-) -- - Jordan Hubbard FreeBSD core team / Walnut Creek CDROM.
