Try the latest ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. If it's still dumping, I'd be interested in a stack trace. To get the stack trace, you'll need to rebuild ppp with CFLAGS+=-g STRIP= at the end of the Makefile (in the ppp directory), and once installed, you'll need to # chmod 555 /usr/sbin/ppp then run ppp as root. The core should appear in the directory that you started ppp from. Once you have the core, do # gdb /usr/sbin/ppp ppp.core ..... (gdb) bt [record the output] (gdb) f 0 [record the output] (gdb) list [record the output] You may also want to print the value of any variables involved: (gdb) p thisvar etc. Send-pr is probably the best way to do report your findings,but you can post here or directly to me if you like. > Randy Wyatt > please respond to me personally as I am not on the questions list > Cheers. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
