When you click on the KDE Internet icon, you get user owned kppp, which invokes a root owned kppp which fires up pppd... It's the user owned kppp that leaks... I believe the leak is related to the graphing; if you turn graphing off, the leak is not as bad, though still there. I haven't had time to dig into it; but I suspect it may be related to the debug logging, even when debug is not enabled. The clue is that there is a minimal log posted if the modem drops and offers to enable debugging. One of my remote users does this: - kppp to start connection - as root: "killall -9 kppp" to avoid leak - "killall -9 pppd" (or power off modem) when done Since reverting to her internal modem, she was unable to power off the modem and the kill -9 (pppd will not terminate on kill -15...) once left the modem online... had to talk her through using minicom and "+++ath"...
