This problem is really getting to me - I can normally solve problems on my own with some googling and reading the man pages, but this one has me beat. Briefly: 4.8-RELEASE "ppp -auto" always dials Turned off sendmail - same result Booted in single user mode - same result Read /usr/share/examples/ppp, man ppp, ppp faq, searched google. Need to know what or why the ppp link is being brought up. Original message with my config and logs below. I was running 4.9-RC and as an attempt to fix it I regressed to 4.8 (the day before 4.9 was released :-) Many thanks in advance, David ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2003 22:19:10 +0000 (GMT) From: David Carter-Hitchin To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: ppp link always dials when started with -auto? Hi FreeBSD'ers, I've just upgraded to 4.9-RC (from 4.2) and I'm really happy with everything except ppp. Whenever I start ppp (with ppp -auto pmdemand) it immediately starts to dial - after connecting it briefly sends and receives a minimal amount of data then sits there idly. One other problem I've got with my upgrade is that I'm getting pam errors: Oct 26 20:26:25 stoat login: no modules loaded for `login' service Oct 26 20:26:25 stoat login: pam_open_session: Permission denied (related?) I've read the ppp faq and this question is covered and it says sendmail is the often the culprit. This rang loud bells as I saw that the more recent version of sendmail has depreciated the 'nodns' feature. So I tried rebooting without sendmail running, but still the same problem. I tried killing off a few daemons including inetd, lpd, usbd.. but no joy. I added "log All +tcp/ip" to get the full output, but I don't know enough about this stuff to go further. I initially get the following lines in the log: Oct 26 21:17:32 stoat ppp[466]: tun0: TCP/IP: OUT <0>: fe80::240:95ff:fe44:3e11 ---> ff02::1:ff44:3e11 (72) Oct 26 21:17:32 stoat ppp[466]: tun0: TCP/IP: OUT ICMP: :::135 ---> ff02::1:ff44:3e11 (16/64) I've uploaded the rest of the conversation to: http://www.carter-hitchin.clara.co.uk/logs/ppp.log.gz My setup is an isolated workstation (no LAN, occasional dialup).
