I might miss-understaing your question... But I'll try.. First of all with Dial on demand mode. Even though you drop the line by time out, Higher level link (i.e. TCP) is still up untile a higher level is timeouted. Another word, you did rlogin to peer and then line is dropped by timeout period, but whenever you type a "A", ppp try to dial up again and then echo back will be occured instead of login prompt. But I still don't understand why root and csh is not ocuured this... Why don't you enable bpf and snoop a packet by "tcpdump -i tun0" it's might be give me a hint. > -- > Virtually, > Edward Wolpert Atsushi. -- Atsushi Murai Internet: amurai@spec.co.jp System Planning and Engineering Co,.Ltd.
