Sending again as this is driving me nuts, Wingate was never this much trouble :-)

I have two minor problems with ppp 1. The system dials up at seemingly random times even when all workstations are shutdown - I can find where it is dialling in the logs but can't find any refernece anywhere as to what process or program is causing it, is this recorded anywhere. Or is it just RH phoning home? I know my XP box does this whenever I login as the modem consistently fires up....nothing in the mailog or squid log though. 2. If we do not connect in a certain amount of time (somewhere about 24 hours) then the pppd process dies and I get no dialout until I telnet in and restart it and then sometimes I have to restart xinetd and init and then pray This is my connect string : usr/sbin/pppd connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/default This is my options file: /dev/ttyS1 57600 crtscts noipdefault demand defaultroute idle 1500 Is there anything there that is causing this or is there anything I should add to make it permanent? _________________________________________ Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramata ICQ#: 137562751 _________________________________________ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
