[Sheflug] Persistant PPP Problem

["Barrie Bremner" <nospam [at] barriebremner.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I've been messing about setting up a new netfilter firewall box up,
and in doing so, have found that the box refuses to drop the
connection when it's told to...it always seems to pick it up again.

I'm using the MasqDialer server to execute ifup and ifdown - the same
config as I use on my existing firewall.

Is there another file I've forgotten about that lets me stop this
behaviour?

Just as an aside, I can't see me using Netfilter for a while - wierd
protocols aren't dealt with, except ftp.
ICQ and streaming audio are next to impossible to cater for under
netfilter as far as I can see.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'm be glad to hear them.

Baz.
