Re: [expert] pppd dying unexpectedly

[Asheesh Laroia]

Quick question about the SIGHUP:

Only root can send signals to root processes, right?  So, reboot in
single-user mode, then try pppd.  See if it still gets the SIGHUP.

I mean, if there are no other programs, it *should* work, right?  There
are no programs ('cept the kernel!) to give it the SIGHUP, so I imagine
it probably won't get it.

I hope this is turns out to be useful!

Good luck!
