POPEYE
>Description:
POPEYE is a pop server running several serial ports on PPP. When a 
customer dials in from an NT machine to get a PPP connection, after he
has finished and signs off, the particular PPP port stays open with the 
pppd-x process still running. It has to be killed manually otherwise the
next caller is confronted with a security violation and can enter the 
system without a login and password. This does not happen with Win95 or 
other type of OS dialing in.
>How-To-Repeat:
Well - as above!
>Fix:
Unknown as of yet. Several attempts to re program the modems has not so
far yielded fruit. The problem is consistant. It happens every time an
NT user dials in.

WE ARE STUMPED! ANY SUGGESTIONS???
