FreeBSD kanga.digitaltorque.ca 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May  8 10:21:06 UTC 2005     root at harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

>Description:
I have ppp_enable="YES" in my /etc/rc.conf. I'm using ppp support for my home ADSL connection. 

[root at kanga ~]# grep ppp /etc/rc.conf
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
#ppp_nat="YES" # if you want to enable nat for your local network, otherwise NO
ppp_profile="storm"

This works fine if, after boot, I invoke it manually.

/etc/rc.d/ppp-user start

But, this is not happening at boot. 

The handbook says that this configuration is correct.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html

But, there's no tun0 interface at boot time. I have to run it myself.

Help appreciated. I tried freebsd-questions already, but to no avail. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Not sure how you can reproduce if it's not my system as I don't know the cause. All I need to do is reboot. 
>Fix:
Just a workaround. I run it by hand.

I did notice though, that in the REQUIRES for ppp-user, it had isdnd. As I don't use isdn, I removed that, but it didn't help.

rcorder says it's going to run it...

[root at kanga ~]# rcorder /etc/rc.d/* | grep -B1 -A1 ppp-user
/etc/rc.d/netif
/etc/rc.d/ppp-user
/etc/rc.d/ipfw
