is it just some users, or all users? if you create a new user, then dialup as that user, and don't send anything down that line, do you timeout? if you *don't* timeout, then you could sniff just that session (i like ethereal, but tcpdump is good too) and see what, if anything, is going down that ppp connection. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Nothing makes a person more productive than the last minute. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
