Hi, I set up a php web page which enables the modem on my gateway to be connected and disconnect.
Essentially, I just added www-data to the dip group and get php to
call pon and poff.
But for some reason, when pon is evoked by the www-data, pppd listens
on *:www
lsof gives this (amoungst other things):
pppd 2448 root 16u IPv4 1243 TCP *:www (LISTEN)
Why does it do this?
If I then restart apache, it fails because something else is listening
on port 80.
pppd doesn't do this when I run it as any other user, so why as
www-data?
cheers
dc
