Hi Paul,
Unfortunately, my pppd binary comes stripped in RH6.0 distribution
so I can't attach a debugger to it and see what sends the SIGINT.
I was wondering, does anyone else running the same version on
RH6.0 seen the same problem?
Another problem I noticed also with the same pppd:
I tried the suggestion I read in some ppp documentation somewhere
and put the line
pd:23:respawn:/etc/ppp/ppp-on
in my /etc/inittab file to workaround the problem. I ran into
another problem. When that line is executed in inittab, there
are 8 instances of pppd created, all at the same time! Pretty
strange given that the ppp start scripts are taken right out
of what came in the scripts directory in the distribution.
Any idea what I'm missing here?
Thanks, once again.
