I have a remote server running 4.3-R setup to do multilink ppp using 3
modems. It dials into Lucent PortMaster 3's - everything works fine and
traffic flows freely down all 3 lines.
The problem is when it reboots - when ppp starts up again, it dials,
connects, authenticates, and then disconnects straight away on all three
lines! Over and over and over again :(
Here is an extract from ppp.log when it does this:
ppp[165]: tun0: LCP: 3: SendIdent(16) state = Opened
ppp[165]: tun0: Phase: 3: his = PAP, mine = none
ppp[165]: tun0: Phase: Pap Output: remote ********
ppp[165]: tun0: Phase: Pap Input: SUCCESS (Login Succeeded)
ppp[165]: tun0: Phase: mpserver: can't connect to bundle socket /var/run/ppp--03-123400000000 (Connection refused)
ppp[165]: tun0: Phase: The previous server died badly !
ppp[165]: tun0: LCP: 3: LayerDown
ppp[165]: tun0: LCP: 3: SendTerminateReq(7) state = Opened
ppp[165]: tun0: LCP: 3: State change Opened --> Closing
ppp[165]: tun0: IPCP: 3: Error: Unexpected IPCP in phase Authenticate (ignored)
I've tracked it down this: a file is leftover in /var/run. Here is what
is currently in there and will be leftover on next reboot:
# ls -l /var/run/ppp*
srw------- 1 root wheel 0 May 9 11:36 ppp--03-123400000000=
So my workaround is putting "rm /var/run/ppp*" in rc.network just before
it starts ppp.
Anyone else using multilink ppp seeing this? I'm wondering if this all
started about 4 weeks ago when a set of changes were MFC'd? I've had this
setup running since September 2000 and have only recently (towards the end
of 4.2-S) had this trouble.
