>Description:
There are a example files for sliplogin in the current distribution
(under /usr/src/usr.sbin/sliplogin) which are rather useless and mis-
leading. E. g.: slip.hosts is looking like
#
# login local-addr remote-addr mask opt1 opt2
# (normal,compress,noicmp)
#
Shavoc okeeffe havoc 0xffffff00 normal
Soxford okeeffe oxford-gw 0xffffff00 compress
Schez okeeffe chez 0xffffff00 compress
Smjk okeeffe pissaro 0xffffff00 compress
Smjk2 okeeffe pissaro 0xffffff00 compress
If Soxford is trying to log in it will be logged out immediately as
the seventh parameter (compress) to slip.login will be deadly for
ifconfig. You'd either have to add a "link0" there or put more
intelligence into slip.login.
>How-To-Repeat:
<code/nput/activities to reproduce the problem (multiple lines)>Try setting up a slip dial-in.
>Fix:
Easiest: Erase those files. Good way: Take the existing installation of
a machine offering slip dial-ins and use them as an example.
