So how does one make a simple PPP connections with Network Setup Scripting?
when I try the example in the Guide book:
<snip>
All i get is a error message that "Some parameter is missing for a
connection"
Well, this works for me with my own configuration
I had the same problem. I thought more parts of NSS were broken,
especially because the "disconnect" script command worked properly
even when this error existed for "connect". I thought I had gone
through and set up RA properly. But since Nigel says it works for
him, I decided to have another look. There's something slightly buggy
here but I finally made it work.
Here's the synopsis: 1) You must use a name other than "default" when
setting up a location configuration, or any sub-configuration of one,
and I'm now quite sure that this issue is the cause of the "Some
parameter missing" error. 2) I _had setup_ a Modem location, with the
name of my ISP, and I _had deleted_ the "default" location. 3) I
_had_ set up RA with the proper Modem location, and _I am pretty
sure_ I did the repeated "apply" and "save" steps. 4: Nevertheless,
even though there was no longer any "default" modem location in
existence, when I went back to check RA locations through the
Location Manager, I got an error "Remote access is using the default
Modem location" which locks you out from editing RA from within the
Location Manager. So I _had_ missed something.
When I finally worked my way out of this error within the Location
Manager, then NSS worked for connecting.
