Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.108) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi Folks, apologies for asking a FAQ, but I could not find it in the (3.1-R) Handbook solved. Looking through /var/log/ppp.log while dialed into one of my ISPs, every 10 seconds a packet crawls through the line: ------ Jul 14 23:20:27 kiste ppp[1967]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(34) state = Opened Jul 14 23:20:27 kiste ppp[1967]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(34) state = Opened Jul 14 23:20:37 kiste ppp[1967]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(35) state = Opened Jul 14 23:20:37 kiste ppp[1967]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(35) state = Opened ------ Annoyingly, this keeps the connection from timing out. Is this a ppp feature I can deny? Thanks in advance -Christoph Sold To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
