RE: [PLUG] remove an interface without rebooting?
|
Jeff,
They're unattached ppp interfaces that are screwing up incoming ppp
sessions. I kill -9'ed a few ppp processes rather than gracefully shutting
them down, and it left these zombie ppp interfaces hanging around, and
downing them wouldn't fix the problem. I was also just curious as to
whether or not Linux had the ability to delete an interface.
