    Recently I installed 5.2-RC2 for testing purpose and
    saw an unexplainable behaviour of pppd 2.3.5.
    I have an old FreeBSD 4.2 running and connecting via
    modem with ppp to an ISP using ipfw, natd and pppd.
    Then I configured the 5.2-RC2 install logical identical,
    but it does not route any packets. I can ping ppp0 but not
    the default gateway. This was pppd 2.3.5.
    Because I did not found anything wrong, I just copied the
    old pppd binary version 2.3.1 from 1998 to the 5.2-RC2 test
    system and this works! I was really surprised, because I
    did not change anything except the pppd binary.

    Any clue what is wrong here? Is it my configuration or
    something in pppd? What changed in version 2.3.5?

    Thanks, Achim

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here is what I configured.

    $ pppd user username /dev/cuaa0 57600 connect 'my script'

    /etc/ppp/options:
    modem crtscts noipdefault defaultroute netmask 255.255.255.0

    /etc/rc.conf:
    firewall_enable="YES"
    firewall_type="OPEN"
    firewall_logging="YES"
    natd_enable="YES"
    natd_interface="ppp0"
    natd_flags="-dynamic "
    gateway_enable="YES"

    Kernel:
    options IPFIREWALL
    options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE
    options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100
    options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
    options IPDIVERT
    options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN
    options IPSTEALTH
