In RH6.0 and RH6.1 there was no /etc/ppp/ip-up.local provided. In the /etc/ppp/ip-up script, there is a test to see if the file /etc/ppp/ip-up.local exists and if it's executable. If so the file is executed. In the ip-up file there is a comment stating (and I quote): "This file should not be modified -- make local changes to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local instead" The upgrade from RH6.1 to RH6.2 overwrote my ip-up.local with a script file containing code to save resolv.conf if the interface is ippp (ISDN?). It also created an unexpected file /etc/ppp/ip-down.local Regards Gustav

Hi, I had the following (very reasonable) comment from Gordon Messmer (yinyang) +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Since you've already submitted a bug report, perhaps you can modify it with the suggestion that the isdn-config package create the files: /etc/ppp/ip-down.isdn /etc/ppp/ip-up.isdn rather than /etc/ppp/ip-down.local /etc/ppp/ip-up.local then, modifiy the ip-up and ip-down scripts to test for the presence of those two files. they already test for ip-up.local and ip-up.heart (and of course, ip-down.local and ip-down.heart). Adding another check would be simple. Or... they could get jiggy and create /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ and run all of the scripts in there!! :) +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Makes sense, IMO. Gustav
