It means that your peer has decided to close the session. It could do so for any of a wide number of reasons, and this doesn't seem to indicate any details. For example, your peer: - may be rebooting or administratively disabled - may have a session time limit that's enforced by shutdown - may have a bug that causes the session to crash - may have detected some configuration problem - may have some other internal limitation It's really not clear without getting information from the peer. You might possibly try getting a tcpdump (or wireshark) trace on the Ethernet interface over which PPPoE is being run, and that might help reveal the events surrounding the connection closure. >> PADT: Generic-Error: RP-PPPoE: Child pppd process terminated >> Sent PADT >> Modem hangup >> Exit >> Connection terminated. >> ADSL connection lost; attempting re-connection Looks like all is working as expected following a disconnect by the peer. >> Please let me know if any configuration needs to be added. >> >> /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options >> # PPP options for the PPPoE server >> # LIC: GPL >> require-chap >> login >> lcp-echo-interval 10 >> lcp-echo-failure 2 Are you really running a PPPoE server? I had expected that you were running a client. What exactly are you doing with PPPoE? In general, if you're trying to connect to your ISP, then at least "require-chap" and "login" are wholly inappropriate. They demand that your peer identify itself to you -- which ISPs almost never do -- and weirdly ask to use both CHAP and local authentication, a combination that's _fundamentally_ impossible because CHAP doesn't reveal the passphrase on the wire. Whoever set up those options was probably pretty confused. If you can do so, I suggest running with "debug" and "updetach" options, and forwarding the complete trace output to the list. If there's a problem with pppd configuration (as opposed to PPPoE or some other issue), that should help reveal what's going on at the PPP level. -- 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
