In particular, I had problems with ppp. Trying to bind a socket to and address was giving me "address already in use" by bind. What deamon or process is responsible for this? Apart from this, I once needed to restart the ttys... Also, when I drop single-user (kill 1), I can't get back to mutli-user mode... This must be an easy one although. When I exit the /bin/sh shell it tries to mount drives,and I get "device busy"s, but I can't umount them...
