Hi all,
I have a minor problem in an otherwise perfect system,
This is my test box, it has Samba2.2.1a, postfix20010709 and kernel
2.2.19-4.1mdksecure
all of those are working great, I have amavis working, and file and printer
sharing,,,
no problems anywhere except for pppd...
for some strange reason, roughly 30 minutes into a connection, something
sends pppd a SIGHUP,, and as such it closes the connection,, I can find no
obvious reason for this, and I was wondering if there is a way to trace back
to what sent the SIGHUP..
the log reads as follows.:
pppd Hangup (SIGHUP)
pppd Modem Hangup
pppd connection terminated.
pppd Connect time 32.9 minutes.
pppd sent xxxx bytes received xxxx bytes
pppd Exit
Thats all the feedback I am getting..
It seems to do the same with Kppp as it does using scripts with "ipup ppp0"
So whatever it is, its directly effecting pppd, not the app that invokes
it...
Anyone got any ideas of what I can do to find out what is killing it? and
why is it doing it every half hour?
(there was an instance of cron hourly just before the above, but
/etc/cron-hourly is completely empty, so its not doing anything.) there
doesn't appear to be any other reference to anything I can find that might
be causing it...
