dear ladies and gentlemen, 

recently i updated my on the whole perfectly running freebsd
2.2.2-release system to 2.2.5-release. everything seemed to work out
fine but user-ppp in direct-mode. my configuration is as follows: i am
using mgetty to pay attention whether a dialin occurs. everything is
working fine connecting in terminal mode. also, auto_ppp i compiled
mgetty with is functioning very well. i added a ppp-user and provided
him /usr/etc/ppp.dialup instead of a shell and when i connect with any
ppp-client (even windows ;-)) the authentication is led through and
passed and the connection is established. from this moment on all tcp/ip
services are possible and everything seems ok. but when i close the
connection from the client side meaning, that i do not longer wish to
download files or so and just terminate, the 'ppp -direct <label>'
services remains and is not terminated when the connection has come to
an end. this means that the system assumes the connection is still up an
won't let another dial in occur. this is a bit annoying since only one
dialin from e.g my office to my home computer archive is possible. i
presume this is a bug and since several things have been improved in ppp
purposes this might have changed, too. is there a way to re-install the
2.2.2-ppp-package on to my 2.2.5-system? or do you have a workaround? i
hope so because otherwise i would have to downgrade my system back to
2.2.2. this would be a pity. too, because since 2.2.5 my scanner and my
adaptec 2940 started to work fine together.

any hints would be highly appreciated, regards,
