Subject:   pppd under 2.2.7 - Idle timeout?
Message-ID:  <3639CFE6.B13FE2CB@tdx.co.uk>

Hi All,

Anyone seen any problems with pppd (kernel ppp) under 2.2.7? - We have it
set to kick people off if they're idle for 10 minutes (600 seconds), but it
never seems to kick them off...

We added the option:

idle 600

To our regular ppp config file (/etc/ppp/options) - but it doesn't seem to
work... I noticed in the man pages it made reference to filters etc. - but
from what I understood the filters could only be used (with respect to idle
time) to either reset (or not reset) the idle countdown timer depending on
the type of traffic going accross the link?...

And that when used in the default mode (i.e. no filters) the idle timer
would be reset for _any_ packet crossing the link regardless?

Regards,

Karl Pielorz
