> Anyone know how to go about fixing this error i am getting for user ppp? I run a script that detects whether ppp -background isp is running and restarts it if down, and i get this error sometimes when the script is trying to execute. Could it be because the connection just went down and hasn't had time to unlock the cuaa1.if file?

Wouldn't you be better off using ``ppp -ddial'' ?

file).
If you're starting ppp from /etc/start_if.tun0 and haven't got an
up-to-date /etc/rc, it's possible that ppp is being started and is
opening and locking cuaa1 *before* /var/run is cleaned - resulting in
this problem the first time ppp disconnects.
