Hi all, I'm trying to find that obscure option in pptpd that will keep an even idle connection alive forever...any ideas ?

Hi, should be named keepalive. But remember there could be many Hardware inbetween causing a hangup. If you want to be shure that the line is hold send 0 byte sized tcp packets. This is what ssh keepalive is doing. As workaround man ping. Greetings Dirk Miguel ALBUQUERQUE schrieb:

The keepalive options seems to be unknown to the pptpd deamon... ______________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ CODALIS SA www.codalis.ch 17, rue de la Fontenette, CAROUGE TEL : +41 22 827 30 30 FAX : +41 22 827 30 33 ______________________________________________________________ «¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤» ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ "Dirk Schreiner" <Dirk.Schreiner@tria.de> wrote on 26/04/2005 10:59:03:

What do the logs say? Something about e.g. idle time or lcp timeout? Are you sure the server disconnects and not the client? ciao Arvin

Yes, looks like the other side (the client). So, check the log on the other side. ciao Arvin

As SuSE uses defect dsl-client software I considered using adsl-client in the office (roaring penguin adsl and modified script with ddclient for dyndns-entry). This doesn't make any problems at all since over a year (only reboots due to frequent kernelupdates by SuSE :( which keeps my uptime low). As config I use: /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf [...] DEMAND = no CONNECT_TIMEOUT=0 CONNECT_POLL=2 PING="." SYNCHRONOUS=no CLAMPMSS=1412 LCP_INTERVAL=20 LCP_FAILURE=3 PPPOE_TIMEOUT=80 [...] If you are not so familliar with configureing it you can use webmin as there is a plugin for it. Maybe you give it a try and get better results. Reguards Philippe P.S.: Comparison of uptime with different clients: adsl-client-uptime: 100% SuSE-solution-uptime: every day down as a matter of fact this sucks and I switched and was happy. - -- Diese Nachricht ist digital signiert und enthält weder Siegel noch Unterschrift!
