Mac OS X 10.7 VPN PPTP 'Disconnecting' pppd process hang
The PPTP client on Mac OS Lion will not discconect from a Win 2003 PPTP Server.
I experience a forever 'Disconnecting' in the status bar.
Running a process list i.e
# ps -eaf | grep pppd
I can see pppd is still running, despite the disconnection request.
I also have a Fortinet SSL VPN client which once disconnected - I can't re-establish a connection, again due to pppd hanging.
sudo kill -9 <pppd proc id> won't work. The only way to re-connect is to reboot the laptop.
This takes forever as I assume the O/S is trying to kill all processes and pppd won't close!
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
