>Description:

"rc.d/ppp restart" stops all running instances of ppp, but restarts only the one configured in
rc.conf.


	
>How-To-Repeat:

Start multiple instances of ppp (e.g. one for your dsl line and another with pptpclient to
use a pptp tunnel). Now do "rc.d/ppp restart" while both are running. After it completes,
only one of them is running.

	
>Fix:
Don't know how to fix this. If the tun device is known, the pid file could be used. But without that, it seems hard 
to find the right one.
