I think that I have narrowed down my server just randomly crashing. It appears to be related either to a pppd process or a tty process. When any user dials-in to the server, after a few minutes (and usually it seems when they disconnect) the following messages appear on the console screen... bobcats2 pppd[277]: ioctl (PPPIOCGGLAGS): Inappropriate ioctl for device bobcats2 pppd[277] ioctl(PPPIOCSASYNCMAP): Inappropriate ioctl for device bobcats2 pppd[277] ioctl(TIOCSETD): Inappropriate ioctl for device These message will usually result in the server crashing in just a few more minutes, or locking up, or displaying either a... Page fault error or a Fatal Trap 12 error while in kernel mode Can anyone shed ANY light on what any of these message mean? Is page fault memory related as on a pc, or is this something else? Do any of you think that upgrading to 2.2.5 will have any effect on these problems, or will I just be introducing new ones? I am really getting frustrated and confused about just what to do to get these people back online. ........................................ . Bill Beavers, Technology Coordinator . .
