The result of this is that if another program, like UUCP, would like to use this port, it appears like the lock file is stale since the PID listed within the file no longer exists. Below are examples of what I am talking about taken during 1 ppp session. silverado 81# ps ax | grep pppd 25852 s20 S 0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS20 38400 connect /usr/etc/chat -v " 25865 pp1 S 0:00 grep pppd silverado 82# more /var/run/ppp0.pid 25852 silverado 83# more /var/lock/LCK..ttyS20 25867 If I need to provide any more info, please let me know. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Kenny Wickstrom | gnu - a new generation in s/w devel/support kenny@kennet.com | Linux - a much improved Un*x clone (708)740-4008 | Debian - a Linux distribution setting the #include | standard for future distributions ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Kenny Wickstrom : New bug report received and forwarded.
