Hi all, I've been setting up a ppp-over-null-modem connection for a friend's Palm, and its working great, except for one point. I've created a user called 'palm', with shell /etc/ppp/ppplogin which looks like this: #!/bin/sh mesg n stty -echo /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach passive local noauth crtscts 192.168.1.1:192.168.1.2 I start the connection from the Palm then run 'getty -L 57600 ttyS0. The Palm connects and everything works fine. When I disconnect from the Palm, getty ends as expected and pppd shuts down, but for some reason the 'palm' user doesn't release ttyS0. The permissions are still set to crw------- 1 palm dip 4, 64 Apr 30 09:45 /dev/ttyS0 when it should be crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Apr 30 09:50 /dev/ttyS0 Also, fingering 'palm' says On since Sun Apr 30 09:45 (EST) on ttyS0 Why doesn't the user get logged out? Regards, Rob.
