I've noticed the same thing in Mandrake 6 -- I had to modify the paths in
/etc/ppp/ppp-down to get it to disconnect and hang up properly, but it
hasn't apparently caused problems (it's one thing I've successfully worked
around, though of course I'm still having my own share of troubles!). I
guess the thing I'm curious about is if that can cause any problems I'm
not aware of?
