Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-
My employer's windows vpn server, from time to time, times out my connection after a period of being idle. When that happens pppd disconnects but network-manager nor nm-applet reflect this change. As far as they are concerned the connection is still alive. I am using Ubuntu 6.10.
The following is all that I find in my /var/log/messages file when this happens:
Dec 21 05:37:49 bordet pppd[26785]: Modem hangup
Dec 21 05:37:49 bordet pppd[26785]: Connect time 702.1 minutes.
Dec 21 05:37:49 bordet pppd[26785]: Sent 3265062 bytes, received 27698473 bytes.
Dec 21 05:37:49 bordet pppd[26785]: Connection terminated.
Dec 21 05:37:49 bordet pppd[26785]: Exit.
the following is from /var/log/debug
Dec 21 05:37:49 bordet pppd[26785]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down started (pid 13322)

I hope that my log excerpts are helpful. Either way it would be way cool and reliable feeling if the nm-applet reflected the fact that my vpn connection has given up the ghost.
Thanks,
David
