ppp and nodetach

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

with ppp-2.3.7 and linux kernel 2.0.36
I have 2 little mysteries, 

the first is these entries in the log,
when a dial-in user connects.

May  4 06:27:59 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-26
May  4 06:28:00 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-24
May  4 06:45:29 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-26
May  4 06:45:29 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-24
May  4 06:45:29 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-26
May  4 06:45:29 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-24
May  4 07:29:56 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-26
May  4 07:29:56 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-24
May  4 07:29:56 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-26
May  4 07:29:56 bara1 modprobe: Can't locate module
ppp-compress-24

Could someone please tell me what's going on?
I thought, I had updated the kernel, and installed the modules?
P.S. the link still appears to work ok, with M$ clients.

second is the use of nodetach,
where is the correct place for this option?
does it replace -detach?
can I place it in /etc/ppp/options ?
or on the command in /usr/sbin/ppp
e.g.. #exec pppd nodetach?
currently I'm using the second way (ppp) to
fire up the dial-in users ppp connection, but when i do a ps 
I get, the following, which looks a bit weird?

  103  ?  S     0:00 /usr/local/sbin/mgetty -n 2 -D ttyS3
  101  S1 S     0:00 -bash
  231  S1 S     0:00 -bash
  100  S0 S     0:00 -bash
  173  S0 S     0:00 -bash
  306  S2 S     0:00 -bash
  341  S2 S     0:00 -bash
  174  S0 S     0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach
  232  S1 S     0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach
  342  S2 S     0:00 /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach
  399  p0 R     0:00 ps -ax

thanks for any assistance
