Lines: 14 Message-ID: <51rp80$o2@BLaCKSMITH.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: risky.blacksmith.com X-Newsreader: Alexandra.app (Version 0.8b) I have a dialup server running FreeBSD 2.1-stable and kernel ppp. I am having the following problem on the server side: Sometimes the pppd process will keep running even though the modem on the server has hung up on the dialed-in user. Is there some ppp setting for making sure that if the modem disconnects the pppd process should then go away? Thanks in advance, Kevin Swanson kswanson@blacksmith.com
