Hello.

regretfully, I can not include the files required in the FAQ - I am at a
different location now, but I think my problem is not related with the
routing.

My problem is interesting - 'ppp -auto -alias' works fine, except it
refuses to hang up after the specified timeout.
I even tried to give 'set afilter 0 deny 0/0 0/0'. Supposedly, in this
config timeout counter should start to tick immediately after connect ?

byt, giving 'set log +debug' I found out that the timer responsible for
the connection timeout is ticking down ...err.. lazy. That is. What I
thought - It should be either be reset to the [timeout] value specified
in the config with each packet agreeing with afilter, and tick down each
second otherwise. What I see in the log is that is gets decreased by a
certain value (not 1 second, but several seconds), and then stays on
this value for undefined random period of time. Then it decreases again,
and the cycle repeats.
The trouble is that the value of a decrease is not equal to the time
being  spent by the timer in the previous value...

I even tried 'set log +TCP/IP' but even when 'tail -f /var/log/ppp.log'
shows no packets,
'show proto' informs that TCP/IP "in" packets are coming...

Did you have any questions of such kind ?


wbr,
andrew yourtchenko
