		   Red Hat, Inc. Errata Advisory

Synopsis:		Dialing PPP connections twice solved
Advisory ID:		RHEA-1999:051-01

1. Topic:

A new pppd package is available that fixes the problem where pppd would
consistently dial twice in order to create a PPP connection.

2. Problem description:

A subtle bug in pppd showed up more often in the Red Hat Linux
environment than other environments, causing pppd to dial twice
when trying to bring up a PPP connection.  Running "modprobe ppp"
before bringing up the connection causes the problem to happen
only once until reboot.  The real fix is this new version of pppd,
ppp-2.3.10-3

3. Bug IDs fixed (http://developer.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

6347, 5663, 5992

4. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 6.1, Intel.

5. Obsoleted by:

6. Conflicts with:

7. RPMs required:

Intel:
  ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.1/i386/ppp-2.3.10-3.i386.rpm
  
Source packages:
  ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.1/SRPMS/ppp-2.3.10-3.src.rpm
    
8. Solution:

    rpm -Uvh <filename>
where filename is the name of the RPM.

9. Verification:

MD5 sum                           Package Name
