Listerines... Aug 19 19:13:26 ciderbox pppd[11078]: Couldn't create new ppp unit: Inappropriate ioctl for device
I get this error after a while with pppd with persist option. I need to kill the pppd and restart it which is annoying since I host my email/dns via this link. Any hints would be welcome... Here is a more complete log...
