Hi Brian, Today, after few hours of fighting with FreeBSD, I found one nasty bug in your PPPoEd implementation. It all started with accidental patching of RASPPPoE windows PPPoE client (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~normanb/).
There is a patch for RASPPPoE, which allows it to connect to non-RFC compliant PPPoE servers, like 3Com modems. PPPoEd supports such clients, however - after processing request from such client, it doesn't talk to normal RFC-compliant clients anymore :( - it looks like a quite nice DoS attack possibility for me, ISP, lots of RFC-compliant users, and one kiddie with patched RASPPPoE...Patched clients can connect without problems, PPPoE receives requests from normal clients, however it (probably - didn't check it) answers them with modified ether-type, which makes it impossible for them to 'hear' the answer. Hope you can come up with a fix soon :) Best regards, Pawel 'ofca' Tyll. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
