I am using Red Hat Linux 6.0 as dial-on-demand machine. When I upgrade to 6.1, I found that the DOD become weird. In 6.0, I configure PPP device netcfg. Then I edit /etc/ppp/options to be this, lock demand idle 180 holdoff 1 ipcp-accept-local ipcp-accept-remote So that the ppp0 device is always up when booting up. The DOD is up to the pppd to control. In 6.1, the ifup-ppp is using ppp-watch... and this ppp-watch seems trying to "make sure" the link is up and failed to know such DOD in /etc/ppp/ options file. Can ppp-watch be fixed to acknowledge the DOD? Is it fixed in 6.2beta? Than
