Hacks are only ugly if they don't work, or break somthing. My recommendation is spend some quality time with those buggered VPN connections and make them work properly. True story. I had a person in a remote office tell me I had to reset my email server clock because his windows machine did not do daylight savings time for his time zone. Israel votes on it or something. So since his stuff did not work he wanted me to break mine. This would have caused problems all over. The solution was to use a different country in the same time zone as Israel so the DST box was available. Sounds to me like you have the same kind of problem. If you spend the time now to fix the issue it will most likely save you time and problems in the future when the entreched system will be imposible to remove. -----Original Message----- From: Gregory Gulik [mailto:greg@gulik.org] Sent: Wed, December 11, 2002 5:18 PM To: psyche-list@redhat.com Subject: Automatically setting the MTU to non-default... Due to a goofy configuration with a VPN running between two PPPoE connected networks I need to have an MTU set that's lower than the default 1500. Currently I added some code to /etc/rc.local to set it if it's one of those networks but I'm wondering if there is a cleaner "more correct" way of setting this up??? The GUI doesn't have a way of doing that and I can't find a way in the standard startup scripts? Is there a better way or should I just stick to my ugly hack? -- Greg Gulik http://www.gulik.org/greg/ greg @ gulik.org http://www.drivingevents.com/ -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
