Rice" To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: user-mode ppp server with mgetty Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Description: email message X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk The problem with a user-mode ppp process not terminating when started by mgetty (AutoPPP) has been solved by Brian Somers (brian@awfulhak.org). He fixed a phase ordering issue; now ppp properly terminates returning control of the port to the mgetty process. The new binaries/sources can be downloaded from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian According to Brian, the code with the incorrect phase ordering was released with 2.2.5. If you're going to implement a user-mode ppp server with mgetty, follow the recommendations of the FAQ and download the latest version. Many thanks to Brian for his guidance and efforts! It's this kind of response and cooperation that contributes to FreeBSD's success. -- Regards, Norm
