Hello All I have been using Debian Slink Linux for a while now, but I have a problem hanging up (terminating) a PPP connection.
I have the latest version of PPPD installed, I have edited the chatscripts ect... to dial the interent, and i use pon to logon to the internet. But when it comes time to log off the internet I do have a problem. The problem is that when I run /usr/bin/poff. The program does not 'terminate' thet PPP connection properly. The connection is terminated but in /var/log/syslog I get the following messages: Jan 6 07:01:49 indolent pppd[296]: Terminating on signal 2. Jan 6 07:02:34 indolent chat[851]: Failed Jan 6 07:02:34 indolent pppd[296]: disconnect script failed Jan 6 07:02:35 indolent pppd[296]: Exit. I have no clue how to fix this problem. I know that poff does work on this other debian box that I have, and it hangs up instantly off the internet. When I use poff of this machine I can't get off the intenret instantly it takes a few minutes then puts some errors out to syslog (shown above), I was just wondering if anyone has nay idea how to fix this. Or what kind of problem this is... And once in a long while sometimes the modem won't hangup when i execute /usr/bin/poff and I am forced to reboot the box. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance, Nikhil
