I'm running diald 0.99.1 on RH 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15). One thing
I've noticed lately is that as diald establishes a connection, two instances
of pppd get started up (ps -A). I know for sure that it's not anything I'm
doing directly; to make sure, I rebooted the system (I start diald in my
rc.local file), and ran ps -A. No instances of pppd shown. I then issue a
ping to bring up the link. Immediately thereafter, ps shows two instances
of pppd, and it stays that way until the link goes down.
I have diald call a script named ppp-on; all it does is fire up pppd
with the appropriate parameters, calling a chat script in the process. It's
very simple. I'd post it, but I'm not at that computer right now. Is this
normal (two instances of pppd)? Everything works normally once the link is
up... I'm just wondering about pppd...
