I am using pppd for dialup.
The method I am currently using is allowing users to login using getty
running the dialup com port.
Once logged in, the user runs a script to start pppd.
Everything works OK during a session, until the user hangs up their
line. Then the following errors are logged to /var/log/messages
--------------------------------------------

-------------------------------
Obviously as pppd is exiting, it performs some shutdown routines which
are causing these errors. Does anyone have any ideas???
I have included a copy of /etc/ppp/options below.
With thanks,
Mark.
