Hello, I posted this problem 2 weeks ago, but nobody answered my question. pppd is configured for dial on demand and was running for more than 2 months. /etc/ppp/ip-up was executed every time pppd opened the line. One month ago /etc/ppp/ip-up was no more executed in spite of nothing was changed on the server. Because I manage the server remotely through the internet, and because I have not received the guarantiees that it will work correcly for long time if I kill and restart pppd, the original process "pppd" is still running. I have modified the cron to take care of task previously in my /etc/ppp/ip-up.local I use ppp-2.3.10-3 on a RedHat 6.1. /var/log/message: May 14 09:04:10 server kernel: PPP Deflate Compression module registered May 14 09:04:10 server pppd[650]: Remote IP address changed to 194.7.6.194 >May 14 09:04:11 server pppd[30455]: Can't execute /etc/ppp/ip-up: Argument list too >long May 14 09:20:05 server pppd[650]: Terminating connection due to lack of activity. >May 14 09:20:05 server pppd[30519]: Can't execute /etc/ppp/ip-down: Argument list too >long somethime I have : May 29 11:07:04 server pppd[4264]: Can't execute /etc/ppp/ip-up: Bad address The problem occurs in the execve system call. I suspect it's a bug that corrupted the parameters of execve ( arguments of ip-up). How to know the values of these arguments ? Any idea ? here is my config file lock crtscts noipdefault #passive defaultroute connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chat-uunet-?????' debug name ??????? noauth /dev/ttyS0 115200 demand idle 180 ipcp-accept-remote ipcp-accept-local holdoff 20 192.168.1.3:192.168.1.2 #active-filter -- Linux : May the sources be with you !
