Hi,
I recently setup my freebsd box (2.0) to allow for dial-in ppp
access. The one problem I have is to kill off the pppd process
once the modem hangs up. At the moment pppd will continue to run
and keep its connection to ttyd1 thus stopping any one else from
dialing in afterwards.
my /etc/ppp/options file is as follows:
crtscts # Hardware flow control
netmask 255.255.0.0 # Netmask
134.226.33.217:134.226.33.216 # localip:remoteip (aisgremoteserver:slip001)
proxyarp # answer requests for aisgremoteserver with
# our ip (pc144)
debug
domain cs.tcd.ie
passive
modem
-detach
Has anyone else had similar problems?
Should I use a logout script to kill off the process or is there
an option I can set in /etc/ppp/options that will cause pppd to
close once the modem line is dropped?
Any help would be appreciated..
Justin.
