Hello!
I'm just trying to setup a FreeBSD 2.0 (950412-SNAP) host as
a dial-in PPP gateway to our LAN.
Following Problems occured:
First tried pppd with the ppp0 pseudo-device:
kernel crashes reclaiming a non-existend page
(this problem was already posted by someone else here),
Then tried the ppp user process with the tun0 pseudo-device:
A PPP connection works for a few minutes, resulting
in sporadical hangups of the modem. Few Kernel-Crashes.
Weird routing problems, mainly attributable to 'routed'.
When using tcpdump -i tun0 on the pseudo-device,
system-crash with panic: bpf tun0 ... (too fast to look at,
but no more than two lines).
Has someone experienced similar problems with PPP and 950412-SNAP?
Who has already used FreeBSD for a ppp-gateway?
Please reply by email.
Thanks.
