i am currently stopping wvdial with: killall wvdial
sometimes the permissions to /dev/modem (/dev/ttyS0) which are usually "root dialout -rw-rw----" do not get reset to this. i know that when pppd is running that it removes group "rw" to the device, effectively making the permissions "600", and then when pppd is shutdown properly it restores them to "660". so then it appears that pppd is not shuting down properly. 1) does anyone else experience this problem? 2) do you know why sometimes wvdial can "properly" kill pppd and other times it cant? 3) what solutions have people used for this problem? thanks, matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
