Hi, all ! I'm using my linux-box as dail-in server using mgetty + pppd. I have an auth-up script, which stores new connection info in file. Everything works OK usually, but some times this hungs. In "ps afx" I see something like 1500 ? S pppd 1503 ? Z \ (auth-up) My question is : In what situation process becomes Zombie ? TIA, Alex
