I thought I'd send this to both comp.protocols.ppp and the mailing list
for dp-2.2-beta; hopefully somebody can help me...

I have recently installed dp-2.2-beta on my Sun ELC (SunOS4.1.2) and
have read through the DialupPPP.doc several times.  I reconfigured the
kernel and added the appropriate /etc/dp files.  I am slightly at a
loss as to what to add to /etc/hostname.dp0, so I didn't use it.  Instead,
I added the line:

  ifconfig dp0 129.212.49.100 129.212.49.101 netmask + -trailers up 

to /etc/rc.boot.

My machine (hostname = echidna) is a standalone machine (at home) and
as such, doesn't have an ethernet connection.  In /etc, I only have
one hostname.??0 file, and that is hostname.xx0 with the contents:
echidna.

In my /etc/hosts file, I have the following lines:
127.0.0.1	echidna localhost loghost
129.212.49.100	echidna-dp0
129.212.49.101	pecan-dp0

"pecan" is a Solbourne machine that I administer at work, with the
129.212.49.* IP addresses assigned to its subdomain.  This is the
machine that I intend to connect to, but first things first.

After adding the above "ifconfig..." line to /etc/rc.boot, and then
rebooting, I see the following error messages (interspersed with normal
messages):

keyserv: unable to register service
rpc.statd: unable to register (SM_PROG, SM_VERS, udp)
Oct 10 01:53:31 echidna inetd [117]: Cannot register service: RPC: Unable to send; errno = Host is unreachable

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong... Does anybody out there have a clue?
This is the first time that I've ever rebuilt the kernel on this machine,
so I haven't messed with any of the config files.  I have also not messed
(much) with /etc/rc.boot or /etc/rc.local or any of the /etc files for that
matter, so they should be in the same state as when I loaded the OS.

And another problem....

Ignoring the above errors, I manually invoke dpd using the following
command:

/usr/etc/dpd -d 3

"dpd" just core dumps (and does not run).  There is nothing reported in
/var/adm/dp/.  Any hints on this one??  I have heard that it (dpd) core
dumps (sometimes) when the dp-conf files aren't setup properly...
Is this true??  If so, where do I start looking for errors?

Any help with these problems would be greatly appreciated,
