Package: pppoe Version: 3.5-4 Severity: important When the client exits a connection, pppd tries to kill the pppoe childrens it spawned:
pppd[7783]: Waiting for 2 child processes... pppd[7783]: script /usr/sbin/pppoe -n -I wlan -e 1:00:04:23:72:4e:6c -S '', pid 7853 pppd[7783]: script /usr/sbin/pppoe -n -I wlan -e 1:00:04:23:72:4e:6c -S '', pid 7784 It sends them SIGTERM: pppd[7783]: sending SIGTERM to process 7853 pppd[7783]: sending SIGTERM to process 7784 However, pppoe simply ignores the signal. As a consequence, every client connection will leave two additional pppoe processes behind. Soon, the system will not be usable anymore. Please do not make pppoe ignore SIGTERM! Alternatively, please coordinate with the ppp maintainer (Marco d'Itri) to have the pppd process send SIGHUPs instead. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (98, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-cirrus Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages pppoe depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii ppp 2.4.3-20041231+2 Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) daem -- debconf-show failed -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
