The problem may be workarounded by adding noauth option to PPP. This way it does not pollute the /var/log/messages and seems to work The default for PPP connections is now to set the default route. I don't recall off the top of my head whether that was changed. I'd like to suggest that you turn off the default route for one or both of those connections. You can do that in netcfg, or you can use a command line such as echo 'DEFROUTE=no' >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 (or ppp1 or whatever). Future versions of initscripts will probably explicitly remove default routes when we are bringing up pppd with DERROUTE set, but bringing up two devices at the same time both trying to set the default route should probably be considered a misconfiguration and so you probably want to fix it. As I wrote in my first message on 1999-11-14
>Both PPP are running without setting a default route.
This is precisely what you are suggesting.
So default routes are not set by pppd.
Again, there are two problems:
1.Unstable work of pppd authorization (especially when there are two modems),
the pppd prints huge number of such error messages:
Nov 14 18:06:45 vladik2 pppd[1012]: The remote system (ppp2) is required to
authenticate itself but I
Nov 14 18:06:45 vladik2 pppd[1012]: couldn't find any suitable secret
(password) for it to use to do so.
This problem may be workarounded by adding
noauth
option for pppd in netcfg. In this case everything is fine.
This problem does not appear when I have
one modem and one connection.
It appears only when I have two modems with two ppp connection.
2. The rate of the error messages.
The scripts print the cited above messages at
such high rate, than in less than 20 minutes
/var/log/messages
may take 100 Mb size.
