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. -- :{ andyf@speednet.com.au Andy Farkas System Administrator Speednet Communications http://www.speednet.com.au/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
