Ok. I -must- be missing something obvious.
Local mail wasn't getting delivered.
So I added a default route in the netcfg "Routing" window:
Default Gateway: 127.0.0.1
Default Gateway Device: lo
stop and restart networking ; still no mail delivery
Worse, ppp no longer works. pppd just hangs.
I guess the newly installed default route is intercepting the pppd
defaultroute, and goes no place.
So let me rephrase my question. I want to be able to do local mail
delivery all the time and ppp only when needed.
How should the Routing / Hosts / Names in netcfg be set?
I had all this working under slackware in the past, but I'm reluctant to
muddle things up by mixing in old (possibly inappropriate) conig files.
Thanks,
Kyle Ferrio
