Thats *exactly* the problem I had when I reinstalled a server with 2.2.5-RELEASE ! Background: I had one server with 3.0-971117-SNAP installed on it; mgetty + user PPP worked very well in this situation. Then I had to reinstall the server (partitions were corrupted due to malfunctioning memory that has been installed later). Since this was a (probably unstable) SNAP I decided I should go for 2.2.5-RELEASE. After I have reinstalled everything, compiled mgetty taking care to insert "CFLAGS=-DAUTO_PPP" in the Makefile (shouldn't the packager patches be modified to do that ?), configured and rebooted the user ppp comported weird: Placing a call & connecting as well communication was OK, but when the uses hang up the PPP daemon wouldn't exit. > > Do I need to patch ppp, so that it "exit()s" when the ppp connection > is over or is there a newer version of ppp ? (or am I missing some > black magic in the configuration files ?) I have tried to manually patch the src/usr.sbin/ppp/main.c file based on the CVS log, but nothing changed. Thing is that 3.0-971117-SNAP has *NO* problem like that. And further more, the version of ppp in the 2.2.5-RELEASE seems to be far too old, many commands that appeared in the 3.0-current branch I couldn't find in the 2.2.5 branch... > > Thanks in advance > > TfH > > Work : thierry.herbelot@telspace.alcatel.fr > Home : thierry.herbelot@wanadoo.fr Ady (@warpnet.ro) Warp Net Technologies To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
