Hello, I am on redhat 6.2 and kernel 2.2.16-3. The version of net-tools is : net-tools-1.54-4 The version of pppd is : ppp-2.3.11-4 My problem is a kernel panic with this message : -------------------- Jul 25 14:12:56 ftclient1 pppd[677]: Connection terminated.

The problem when the link break down for example for PPP1 and we have the defaultroute on PPP1. This route is not delete automatically, so we delete it manually. I dont know why but I have a kernel panic at 4:00 AM when the cron.daily is launch (I don't know why). But I think the problem is with PPPD and the change of routes every 5 minutes. Or more exactly the default route exist after ppp1 is down. what do you think about this ? Bye.
