Subject: Help, my PPP won't stop dialing (RH 4.0)
I managed to get RH 4.0 installed with a minimum of
problems. The other night I used the network configuration
and modem configuration tools to configure my PPP
connection. Now, when I reboot Linux, PPP starts
attempting to dial my internet provider immediately.
How do I keep this from happening? Does it have
something to do with other daemons that are being
brought up by default (I believe sendmail is one of
the installed defaults).
-----------
I had the same problem, until i realize than ppp0 was configured to startup at boot time !
Just go into your net config, and put a "no" instead of "at boot".
Then, you will have to manually do "activate" to initiate your ppp connection.
