Hi, I am setting up a masquerading dialup server for windows clients with masqserver. The major problem is that "ifdown ppp0" leaves an instance of ppp-watch running that was not running before "ifup ppp0". This causes the modem to dial out at VERY regular intervals when the interface is supposed to be down. I have tried adding an ifdown-local script with a bit of checking and a "killall ppp-watch" (which works from the command-line), but this does not kill ppp-watch. I am going out to the remote site in 13 hours, and would like to have the whole setup working by then (this is the only obstacle to me installing the whole network, including print-servers, mail servers, automatic retreival of mail with fetchmail etc). This appears to be a bug in the scripts, but I am prepared to do anything (within the time-limits) to get it to work.
