I'm having some serious incompatibility problems here, it seems.

Now my pppd is blown up.  It won't install a default route, whether
specified in the /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down} files, or as an option in
/etc/ppp/options.

I am including the following files:
	/etc/ppp/options
	/etc/ppp/ip-up
	/etc/ppp/ip-down
	/etc/rc
	/etc/rc.conf
	/etc/netstart
	/etc/rc.local

This used to work just fine; now I get such problems as:

	named won't resolve properly
	pppd won't route properly
	"ifconfig lo0 localhost" no longer works -- I have to say
		"ifconfig lo0 inet 127.1"
	Ditto with "route add starwolf 127.1" (can't use "localhost")

I had to kludge rc.local to add a default route immediately after pppd
started up.

Here's the files.  Perhaps someone can point out any boneheaded moves
or assumptions I may have made which broke with the last installment.

Thanks.
