Re: ifconfig accounting wrong?

This could account for my Massive amount of errors/ dropped packets in
ppp0 when tcpdump did not show anything funny (I don't think so I am not
quite shure what should be there), also ppp0 for some reason made two
route entries for the terminal server and would not let me remove them
unless I did an ifconfig ppp0 down.

ppp0 Link encap:Point-Point Protocol
inet addr:128.186.227.250 P-t-P:128.186.227.102 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:3892 dropped:1 overruns:1
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:4041 overruns:0

I am running 2.1.26 with glibc 2.0
