Package: ppp Version: 2.4.3-20050321+2 Severity: important File: /usr/sbin/pppd
My dsl provider (Arcor, Germany) has a 24h auto disconnect to ensure a certain user doesn't occupy the same IP address forever. Though, after the disconnect from the provider, pppd doesn't reconnect. It hangs and takes 100% CPU until I kill and restart it. The syslog messages are like this: 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppd[10326]: LCP terminated by peer 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppd[10326]: Connect time 1440.1 minutes. 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppd[10326]: Sent 34253560 bytes, received 603944042 bytes. 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppd[10326]: Connection terminated. 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppd[10326]: Serial connection established. 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppd[10326]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/13 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppoe[11449]: PADS: Service-Name: \'\' 13:32:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppoe[11449]: PPP session is 865 13:33:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppoe[11449]: Session 865 terminated -- received PADT from peer 13:33:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppoe[11449]: Sent PADT 13:34:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppoe[10337]: Inactivity timeout... something wicked happened on session 330 13:34:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tooar pppoe[10337]: Sent PADT The last 2 messages repeat forever if I don't kill pppd. If I kill pppd and restart it everything works as expected. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11tooar2 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages ppp depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpam-modules 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpcap0.7 0.7.2-7 System interface for user-level pa ii makedev 2.3.1-77 creates device files in /dev ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii procps 1:3.2.1-2 The /proc file system utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.2 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
