To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 22 Jun 1996 12:22:47 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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 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
