I have a dialin PPP account set up to execute a script that has "ppp -direct" in it. All users can get in and access the site with PPP just fine, but after 3 minutes (its default timeout) it drops them because of inactivity. I've verified that this is happening in /var/log/ppp.log. My ppp.linkup file contains the following: ----- ######################################################################### # # If we've got 192.244.176.32 as our address, then regard peer as a gateway # to 192.244.176.0 network. # #192.244.176.32: # add 192.244.176.0 255.255.255.0 HISADDR # # If we are invked with an argument ``iij-demand'', then # delete existing route entry and add peer as default gateway. # iij-demand: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR # # Otherwide, simply add peer as default gateway. # timeout 3600 198.145.98.6: add 198.145.98.0 255.255.255.240 HISADDR ----------- Shouldn't this set my timeout to 60 minutes? I've created a ppp.linkup file in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup and one in /usr/home/ppp/ppp/ppp.linkup per the man pages for PPP. This setting had absolutely no effect on operations. If there aren't any obvious answers, where's the source for ppp so I can take out the bloody timeout function? ANY Help would be appreciated... and my users would be MUCH more appreciative!
