Bug ID: 1156280

Synopsis: PPP causes system to crash

Category: network

Subcategory: ppp-kernel

State: integrated

Description:

Problem Description:

Using the PPP bundled with Solaris 2.3 causes the system to crash with
"panic sync timeout" or "panic data fault". This happens reliably every
time I attempt to use

The local machine is called "drill", and is running Solaris 2.3 The remote 
machine is "ups", running SunOS 4.1.3 and the public domain ppp-1.3. Both 
systems are SS1+.  ups currently has approx 6 ppp clients that work 
without a problem, all running the public domain ppp with no problems for 
nearly 12 months. Likewise we do not suspect any modem or uucp 
configuration problems.

The exact sequence to generate the fault is to stop the ppp daemon using 
"/etc/init.d/asppp stop", then restart the PPP daemon using 
"/etc/init.d/asppp start". If this is not done then it fails to dial out 
straight away. I then queue some packets for the destination, eg "ping 
ups". The PPP daemon dials the remote system using the uucp dialling files 
and logs in. As soon as it sends the password the PPP daemon disconnects 
and the system panics. Core files are available.

Work Around:

Integrated in releases: s494_prebeta3, s494_prebeta5,
