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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
