I observed a peculiar situation today on an ADSL link using pptpclient and the userland ppp daemon: the LCP negociation hunk in state Ack-Rcvd for almost 3 hours (until I killed it) without any progress, but without timing out, either.
Here is an excerpt from the log: Apr 3 05:25:02 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: State change Initial --> Closed Apr 3 05:25:02 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: State change Closed --> Stopped Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: LayerStart Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: Warning: deflink: Reducing configured MRU from 1500 to 1480 Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendConfigReq(1) state = Stopped Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: ACFCOMP[2] Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: PROTOCOMP[2] Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: ACCMAP[6] 0x00000000 Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: MRU[4] 1480 Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: MAGICNUM[6] 0x91e371fe Apr 3 05:25:03 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: State change Stopped --> Req-Sent Apr 3 05:25:06 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendConfigReq(1) state = Req-Sent Apr 3 05:25:06 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: ACFCOMP[2] Apr 3 05:25:06 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: PROTOCOMP[2] Apr 3 05:25:06 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: ACCMAP[6] 0x00000000 Apr 3 05:25:06 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: MRU[4] 1480 Apr 3 05:25:06 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: MAGICNUM[6] 0x91e371fe Apr 3 05:25:09 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendConfigReq(1) state = Req-Sent Apr 3 05:25:10 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: ACFCOMP[2] Apr 3 05:25:10 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: PROTOCOMP[2] Apr 3 05:25:10 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: ACCMAP[6] 0x00000000 Apr 3 05:25:10 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: MRU[4] 1480 Apr 3 05:25:10 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: MAGICNUM[6] 0x91e371fe Apr 3 05:25:10 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvConfigAck(1) state = Req-Sent Apr 3 05:25:10 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: LCP: deflink: State change Req-Sent --> Ack-Rcvd Apr 3 08:11:27 melusine ppp[53064]: tun0: Phase: Signal 15, terminate.

Any idea why it did not time out? Thomas. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
