Hi, I have FreeBSD 3.3R running as a dialup ppp server for at least a month
now. Everything has been working perfectly until yesterday. Now, if a user
disconnects improperly (such as pulling the phone cord out of his modem),
the server doesn't realize it!  When it happened yesterday, the server was
denying him access, until I killed the ppp -direct process that was still
running, then he connected fine.  It has happened a few more times today
(not sure what happened on their end), so I did some testing. It is
definitely just a problem when the user end disconnects suddenly, but it was
allowing me to log back in as any username, and would look like it was still
the original user!! Anyone have any ideas why the server isn't noticing the
dropped connections? Thanks for you help, and please let me know if this is
the wrong mailing list!! (I am trying to set this up as an ISP, so it SHOULD
be the right place)

Shawn
