I loaded 3.3.2b4 (right?) on my Portmasters this week and have been
studying the results of the termination logging today. I've gotten
three interesting types so far that I'd like to report.
First: I have a few customers that get:
User Error - PPP NCP Active to Request
The release notes mention that the client erroneously sent a PPP packet and
the Portmaster hung them up. The two clients that I've verified so far
that get this error are Trumpet (not sure of the version yet) and a MSDOS
program called "IP Route" that a customer is using to connect a few
machines with. There are more customers getting this as well, but I've not
identified them or contacted them about their software yet.
My question: Has ComOS always had this behavior or is this disconnect new
in 3.3.1? If this is new behavior, then it may explain the reported
increase in disconnects (especially if your clients use Trumpet a lot -
mine don't, really).
I have also gotten these two pretty frequently over the last two days:
NAS Error - PPP Unknown State
and
No Event Identified
These recurred in a similar fashion each time. I'll try to get some
examples together and send to support since the release notes say to
report these to Livingston. Luckily, these never seem to disconnect a real
session - ie. they always occur on an empty port or after a failed
login attempt.
Note that I read the digest, so I won't get any comments until tomorrow
unless you CC me.
Later!
