Hello all, I have a Debian 1.3.1 box running kernel 2.0.33 up and running. Not too long ago I added Diald so that I would not have to stay connected 24-7 to the internet. I am also using IPMasq All seems to work fine. Diald starts the connection when it is needed, but there are a few problem with it that I cannot figure out why they are doing what they are doing.
My most puzzling problem is the ip-up script. I have my time synced and the IP address ftped to my .plan file of my Linux server at work in ip-up. Recently I thought it would be nice to add a little script that sends an epage to my pager informing me that the home system has connected and is online (and give the IP address). What I have noticed is for each connection ip-up is run several times for one connection. The day I set this up it sent out 4 pages back to back telling me about the same IP address. For the same connection. That was the worst case. Sometimes it is only 2 or 3 times a connection. It holds true for the ftping of the IP address to my work server. Once I looked in the xferlog at work I found a similar thing. Here is the latest entry: ---SNIP--- Tue Jan 20 13:05:29 1998 1 ppp0151.remote.louisville.edu 15 /home/jybarb01/.plan b _ i r jybarb01 ftp 1 root Tue Jan 20 13:07:01 1998 1 ppp0151.remote.louisville.edu 15 /home/jybarb01/.plan b _ i r jybarb01 ftp 1 root Tue Jan 20 13:08:39 1998 1 ppp0151.remote.louisville.edu 15 /home/jybarb01/.plan b _ i r jybarb01 ftp 1 root ---SNAP--- As you can see, this transfer is only a couple of minutes apart from the same IP address. I have pppd setup to idle disconnect after 2 mins. Does anyone know why this is working like it is? Does anyone have a recommendation to how to fix it?
