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??? >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
