Hi!
I still get from time to time the following errors when trying to use
ppp:

I didn't change my ppp configuration for months so I think it's a kernel
problem.

Did you load the 'ppp_async.o' module?

Sorry, I forget to look for that, but:
I have the following line in /etc/modules/conf:
alias char-major-108 ppp_async
alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp
alias ppp0 ppp_generic
alias ppp1 ppp_generic
alias ppp ppp_generic
alias ppp-compress-18 ppp_mppe
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate
So it should be autoloaded. I've added now "probe tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async
ppp" and hope it helps.
So, if ppp_async gets not autoloaded, why? And why does'nt this happen
not allways but only sometimes?
Bye,
Manfred

Just out of curiosity, what pppd are you running, with what patches?
I don't recognize the message about 'perms of /dev/ttyS0'.
Or does this message come from the passwordfd.so plugin?

No ppp_async loaded - that's the problem.
