I'm running pppd on these lines from /etc/ttys with a command line of: /usr/sbin/pppd -detach +chap 38.245.99.3:38.245.99.254 ttyd0 115200 Most of the time it works fine, but at times the proxy arp fails and I end up with an arp table entry like: ppp-in-1.swd.ara.com (38.245.99.254) at (incomplete) Now, anyone dialing into this line gets stuck, as it appears that pppd cannot replace this with a correct entry. I've kludged it with a cron job running every 10 minutes to clean this up, but I'd rather it not happen in the first place. Checking the mailing list archives, it seems like this problem should have been solved in a much earlier FreeBSD release. Why an I seeing it?
