I am using pptpclient with the userland PPP daemon, and have been occasionally encountering the following situation: * for some reason, the data link layer (here, a PPTP tunnel) goes down; * ppp closes the LCP... * ...but the PPP process hangs indefinitely rather than terminating. Here is an excerpt of ppp.log: Mar 4 22:40:14 melusine ppp[19179]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Disconnected! Mar 4 22:40:14 melusine ppp[19179]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connect time: 105 sec s: 931 octets in, 1214 octets out Mar 4 22:40:14 melusine ppp[19179]: tun0: Phase: deflink: : 13 packets in, 38 p ackets out Mar 4 22:40:14 melusine ppp[19179]: tun0: Phase: total 20 bytes/sec, peak 97 b ytes/sec on Sun Mar 4 22:40:14 2001 Mar 4 22:40:14 melusine ppp[19179]: tun0: Phase: deflink: lcp -> closed Mar 4 22:40:14 melusine ppp[19179]: tun0: Phase: bundle: Dead The next line should be a tun0: Phase: PPP Terminated (normal). but this does not occur, and pid 19179 is hanging, blocked in a tunread that won't return. Is this a known problem? I have observed this behaviour on a 4.2-STABLE system.
