So we just need this in the install script, right?

Code:

ln -s /data/etc/ppp /system/etc/

In reality it has to be /system/etc/ppp because that gets linked to /etc

So inside /system/etc there needs to be a link to data/ppp

Now we have this link in place. Its on the init.rc and in that tar so i dont know how its getting trashed (if it even is getting trashed)

ln -s /data/ppp /system/etc/ppp will do it.

Ah, I bet it is not working because of this. It will not overwrite if the directory already exists. It does exist already and has a file in it. Also, for ln -s as you have there, it will actually link /data/ppp to /system/etc/ppp/ppp since it is a directory and not a file

Dinner time. Be back in a little while.

It's not in the latest system. I'm guessing it was in the update.tar

Correct.

Make sure you don't have it in your update either.

I will look at what we all really need from the rootfs to FRX05. I know my andriodupdate.tgz has stuff it don't need and over writes some of the newer files.

But currently stuck on the superuser app?
