Hi,
I'm experiencing a strange problem using pppd on a dialin linux box
(Mandrake 6.1, Kernel 2.2.13-22mdk, Mgetty 1.1.14-9mdk and ppp-2.3.11)
I recompiled pppd fresh from the distribution tarball, and enabled PAM
support - everything else was left at Linux defaults.
It seems that when pppd terminates, it is leaving the interface active
(sometimes but not every time).
pppd itself does seem to by terminating ok.
Here is some output from route/ifconfig:
203.xx.xx.101 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp2
203.xx.xx.101 * 255.255.255.255.UH 0 0 0 ppp3
ppp2 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol

RX packets:12510 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:13558 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

Does anyone have any ideas?
I've tried going back to pppd 2.3.8 and the problem still occurs.
Is this a kernel bug? It seems unlikely as I'm using 2.2.13-22mdk which
is meant to be stable.
Could it be a bug on the 2.2.13-22 kernel?
I'm yet to try 2.2.14 but I have my doubts that it is kernel related?
Cheers,
Matt
