For what it's worth, I don't see anything in pppd that could reasonably be affected by whether syslogd is running or not, and certainly nothing that would _stop_ working simply because syslogd is there. My guess would have to be a bug in the underlying operating system. Whatever it is, it's obscure. > but I can get a successful connection when I kill syslogd ,Why? There've been many postings about this problem over the past year or so. I don't think anyone knows how to fix the problem. The common components seem to be Linux and rp-pppoe. Pppd works fine on other platforms and when PPPoE isn't in use. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
