I'm using mgetty to receive faxes and to accept a dialup ppp connection. I used to use something called ppplogin to handle the incoming ppp but decided to switch to pppd with FreeBSD 5.0 because my ppplogin is old and I don't even remember where I got it from. So now in /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config I have:
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login debug
The problem I'm having is that when an incoming ppp connection attempt is made my FreeBSD 5.0 machine freezes up. I can't even get to the debugger with Ctrl-Alt-Esc like I normally can. Here are the last few /var/log/ppp.log entries from before rebooting (entries are lost after reboot):
Mar 19 10:00:46 oasis pppd[620]: sent [LCP TermReq id=0x2 "User request"]
Mar 19 10:00:46 oasis pppd[620]: Modem hangup, connected for 1 minutes
Mar 19 10:00:46 oasis pppd[620]: Connection terminated, connected for 1 minutes
Mar 19 10:00:47 oasis pppd[620]: Exit.
I probably don't have /etc/ppp/ configured quite right yet but I expect I'll be able to figure that out later. Right now I'm hoping for help with the system freeze. Maybe a remote gdb? Or maybe it's because I'm using a USB keyboard? (Have atkbd disabled.)
System is current as of last night. I cvsup'd and did the steps 1 - 9 of /usr/src/Makefile (kernel stuff, world stuff, mergemaster). I'm using a custom kernel which is almost GENERIC except for addition of ipfw and a couple other tweaks. Diff available on request. Problem is still there. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks...
