The problem that occurs is; once or twice a week we are forced to reboot the computer, because pppd just stops communicating with the client. The clients connection stops working and we can not ping the client. Once the computer has been restarted everything returns to normal until next time. The client logs in ok, and their username appears as being logged in .. but thats as far as it goes. This is becoming a big problem now, as we are getting more clients. If anyone has an idea or solution, we will be very greatful. Thank you, Jason McKay. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
