I can try with max_auth_failures, but didn't it ignore that completely when max_auth_failures is zero? I'm setting max-auth-failure=17, let's see what happens. (On the old box it was zero, and it worked on this line, but that was NetBSD 5.something.) > If it works on manual "ifconfig up" (without any further changes) your > provider probably had an internal temporary failure. It happens after the 24h disconnect, reproducibly.
