Hi, I set up a php web page which enables the modem on my gateway to be connected and disconnect. Essentially, I just added www-data to the dip group and get php to call pon and poff. But for some reason, when pon is evoked by the www-data, pppd listens on *:www lsof gives this (amoungst other things): pppd 2448 root 16u IPv4 1243 TCP *:www (LISTEN) Why does it do this? If I then restart apache, it fails because something else is listening on port 80. pppd doesn't do this when I run it as any other user, so why as www-data? cheers dc -- David Purton dcpurton@chariot.net.au If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
