Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] pppoe shows weird characters

[]Aphex[ <ap...@ma...>]

I couldn't find any logs actually, isn't /var read-only like everything
else? Anyway I tried adsl-connect instead of start and it gave me some
output and i found out what i was doing wrong. Or said in another way: it
was looking for a script or file (i think it was
/etc/ppp/firewall-masquerade, or something like it) and it couldn't find it.
I think that's some bug..., that file should be there i think by default
(anyway a default file). I changed some things and then it just worked :)
couldn't find /var/log/messages or any other file in /var/log which could
tell me something. Where does syslog save it's log? Thanks for helping, now
it works!
