 pppd active-filter I am using pppd version 2.4.2 and kernel 2.6.11-r4. ppp filtering is enabled in the kernel config. But when I put active-filter in my /etc/ppp/options file I get " /etc/ppp/options: unrecognized option 'active-filter' " Google has been no help... Thanks, -- Terry      |

Did you also add a filter expression? Sybren -- The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |

Don't use environment variables to alter emerge's behaviour. Instead, add net-dialup/ppp activefilter to /etc/portage/packages.use. That way, you'll always be sure it has the correct USE flags.
