Ellison" X-Sender: duane@saber.viper.com To: questions , hackers@freebsd.org cc: John Faubion , Scott Gregory Subject: help with pppd Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I applogize about also sending this to hackers but I though maybe someone there might have a solution for this problem Okay, maybe I haven't express this question correctly so I will try again. I have pppd running on my test system but once the connection is dropped the pppd task does not go away. The port becomes available again and I can start another pppd session with the same arguments but the previous version(s) do not go away unless I kill them (an output example from ps is included in this message) I keep going through the man page on pppd but I have not come up with the answer to my question. Now it might be there right in front of my face but I just can't see it. I have even tried using the lcp-echo-interval and lcp-echo-failure but that too doesn't seem to do anything for me. Here is what ps shows the status of the task(s) $ ps ax | grep d1 | grep -v grep 1619 ?? I 0:00.05 /usr/libexec/getty std.19200 ttyd1 1573 d1- R 3:17.37 /usr/sbin/pppd 10.0.0.3:10.0.0.50 1591 d1- R 1:31.61 /usr/sbin/pppd 10.0.0.3:10.0.0.50 1616 d1- R 0:55.22 /usr/sbin/pppd 10.0.0.3:10.0.0.50 I assume there has got to be something that I am missing but I have been unable to figure it out. I know this has to work because people are using FreeBSD for ppp logins and it has to be working for them. Besides I would assume after a while it would cause problems with the system I have even tried to create the /etc/ppp/ip-up and ip-down files but they are never executed (unless if pppd dies before a connection is ever established and then it fails on the execution but at least I know it is trying). I would really appreciate any ideas/help/pointers/whatever for a solution to this problem. I am trying to get a system ready to work as an ISP this is really causing a problem. Unfortunately the only local system that I can ask face to face question is on Linux and the guy isn't real reseptive to FreeBSD. Included are my configuraiton files #/etc/ppp/options modem crtscts proxyarp netmask 255.255.255.0 domain viper.com #/etc/ppp/ppplogin echo Starting pppd program /usr/sbin/pppd 10.0.0.3:10.0.0.50 I am starting this by loging in as any using and then running /etc/ppp/ppplogin. --- Duane ____________________________________________________________________________ Duane Ellison duane@gargamel.ptw.com http://gargamel.ptw.com/~duane
