System: NetBSD orchard.medford.ma.us 1.0A NetBSD 1.0A (ORCHARD) #2: Mon Sep 25 23:26:59 EDT 1995 sommerfe@orchard.medford.ma.us:/u1/jsys/sys/arch/i386/compile/ORCHARD i386


>Description:
	the pppd source contains an idle-timeout feature which needs 
	an ioctl to support; this feature is under #ifdef _linux_.
	NetBSD appears to support this ioctl, so the #ifdef's should go..

>How-To-Repeat:
	read source.
	
>Fix:
	s/_+linux_+/PPPIOCGIDLE/, more or less.

	(I haven't tested this yet, but will in a couple of days once
	my PPP account gets activated..)
