I've got two sepparate versions of pppd, one for static ip's with pap authentication, and one for dynamic ip's. The first reads the normal /etc/ppp/options file. The dynamic version doesn't look at the options file, but looks at the /etc/ppp/options.tty files in stead. When I start the dynamic version, nothing's amiss, but when a user logs on with the static version, the pppd in question uses 100% CPU or more (doesn't seem to do the system much damage however) and doesn't get killed when the user hangs up. The pppd remains active even after the modem has hung up. A normal 'kill pid' doesn't work, it needs a 'kill -9 pid' to kick the pppd of the system. Of course this doesn't do the routing tables much good. Does anyone have any clue to what is happening here ? my options file for static pppd: crtscts asyncmap a0000 proxyarp debug modem +pap passive name xs1 auth My options file for dynamic pppd: (note: this is different ip's for each serial) crtscts asyncmap a0000 modem passive :193.78.46.200 remotename PPP46-200 Should I kick the 'passive' out in both options files ? Anyone any suggestions why the difference in behaviour ? The setup above has worked fine with NetBSD, same version of pppd, and with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 some other version of pppd, dunno which. - Rob. /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\
