Dec 26 17:16:23 machine1 modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0 Dec 26 17:16:23 machine1 pppd[95]: tcgetattr: I/O error Why would syslog log "Can't locate module ppp0" when ppp is installed in the kernel? The /var/log/messages gives... Dec 26 17:16:23 machine1 kernel: registered device ppp0 Dec 26 17:16:23 machine1 pppd[95]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Dec 26 17:16:23 machine1 pppd[95]: Exit. Any useful or pertinent input would be much welcomed here. Thanks, --Steve
