Reason for problem: My ISP automatically disconnects 2 hours after initial
logon. Since I dont plan (at the moment at least) to run a web server, or
carry news it is not a problem. However I would like to be able to access
my machine from the outside world pretty much all of the time. In order to
do this I need to setup my machine so that each time my ISP logs me off it
dials up and reconnects, and then mails me a copy of the netstat at one
of the other machines I have access to.
My solution: Using the user PPP I configured the ppp.conf so that it dials
and logs onto the remote machine. However in order to have all of this run
automatically I added a line to the default: section of the ppp.conf that said
dial <correct label>
My problem: whenever I run the user PPP with this configuration I recieve
a segmentation fault error.
Could someone confirm, explain, provide a solution to, this error.
Thanks,
Nathan
