Subject:   Multilink ppp problem

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.
