Good that it's rescanning from time to time (probably 10 minute intervals or so, I'd guess), but that's just a band-aid over a design flaw in the daemon. If the system architecture really requires all those separate bound sockets, then it should be listening on a routing socket to get a timely notification of interfaces coming and going, and using a scan only as a back-up in case a message gets lost (the kernel's writes into routing socket listeners are non-blocking and thus not entirely reliable under stress). Of course, if the system architecture doesn't require a zillion open sockets, then that's even better. In any event, not really a pppd issue, but rather an ntpd/xntpd issue. -- 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
