Hi, We seem to be having a problem with user ppp on our dialin lines. I look after an intel FreeBSD machine running 2.1.0-Release. We have 2 cyclades 16ye boards with about 18 modems of various types attached so far. I compiled a kernel with 20 tun devices and 20 slip devices for our use but we are having lots of trouble with dialin PPP. The slip interfaces work fine. The error occures just after the user logs in. They get: > Starting PPP for cuac0 > can't find ifindex. > oen_tun: Device not configured and the line drops of course.. ifconfig -a only show 12 tun devices configured which is a bit suspect. Is there a hard limmit on the number of slip/ppp/tun devices we can use? The devices are there, I made 20 in /dev. We can sometimes get up to three people in with PPP before it fails. But can't predict when it will fail. At the moment we have only one on and all other attempts are failing :( So far I have tried upping maxusers to 15 and 4 other kernels with different numbers of devices with no better luck. I'm about to install a kernel now with 20 ppp devices in case we have to move over to kernel ppp (which will be a last resort..) Any ideas folks?? ciao dave -- Dave Edwards davo@katy.apana.org.au || davo@frisbee.net.au Adelaide, South Australia ----
