Operating Systems Linux Help for Linux hang up Post 39860 by cerberusofhnsg on Tuesday 2nd of September 2003 01:03:45 PM

Check:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-ppp0
make sure that ONBOOT='yes'
is changed to no.
you may access the system by booting from the install cd, and either typing rescue, or just hit enter, and answer the questions reguarding keyboard type/locale, then press alt+cntrl+F3 to switch to a terminal. Then type:
mkdir foobar
mount /dev/hdax /foobar
chroot /foobar
where hdax is the name of the root partition. you chroot, so you can use your own editor, some boot disks dont have vi for instance. then, you can type:
vi /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-ppp0
and change that line. for vi, press I, then scroll to the line, then edit it, then hit escape, and :wq
that should work.

NAME

       smpppd - SuSE Meta PPP Daemon

DESCRIPTION

       smpppd is a daemon that controls several internet connections.

       Use  a  frontend  like cinternet , qinternet or kinternet to control the connections and retrieve status informations.  Those frontends can
       also run on different hosts.

       The configuration of the dialup connections is done by YaST2 but there are some additional options available in the file /etc/smpppd.conf.

       smpppd is not intended for direct use.  Use rcsmpppd instead.

OPTIONS

       These options are recognized by smpppd.

       --detach
	      Detach from the controlling terminal.  This is the default.

       --nodeatch
	      Don't detach from the controlling terminal.

       -d, --debug
	      Turn on debugging.

       --version
	      Show program version and exit.

       --help Show help information and exit.

BUGS

       ISDN support is poor.

SIGNALS

       SIGHUP Reload the configuration.

FILES

       /etc/smpppd.conf
	      Basic configuration.

       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*
	      Configuration files for the interfaces.

       /etc/sysconfig/network/providers/*
	      Configuration files for the providers.

       /var/run/smpppd/control
	      Socket to communicate with local frontends.

       /var/run/smpppd/ifcfg-*
	      Sockets to communicate with backends.
