Amost the same as that provided in the ppp.conf.sample in 2.2.8. I want to use the VPN in the -auto mode because the vpn session is routed over a standard on demand ppp connection to an ISP. The problem that I am having is that when anything (including the idle timer) causes the link to come down and ssh terminates, ppp also terminates with a discripter 0 error. I have tried listing multiple instances of !/etc/ppp/secure in the device statement in ppp.conf hoping that when ppp sees the failed device it would try the next, but it doesn't. It appears that when ssh terminates and closes stdin/stdout it causes a fatal error that ppp cannot recover from. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this? mike@netronix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
