PPP starts in run levels 2-5 with a respawned startup script in inittab.
It does not seem to start until late in the boot process however. After
most everything else is loaded. My default boot is run level 3. I init to
5 manually as needed.
I am not sure how to make the order change (as someone suggessted) given
that this is run from inittab. This is not a big deal since I can make a
work-around by stopping and starting named after the ppp connection is
established. There has to ber a better way though. I would think that bind
could listen on ports that come up after it is running and not have to be
restarted. I kind of think it is a bind issue.
