Message-Id: <200805221054295315414@foxmail.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ppp@vger.kernel.org Hi,all: (1)when a pppoe connections established ,pppoe-server spwans a child process "pppd". I modified the pppoe-server code a little, and let pppoe-server send SIGTERM to the child process. pppe-server die not the child pppd die. (2)But if I use command "kill pppd pid" in SHELL to kill the child pppd , the result pppd die is what I expected. why?
