G'day all,
	I have a few questions.

1. I once had a stubborn process that would not die, kill -9 did not
work. It eventually disappeared after the process list cycled through.
However, is it possible to kill it by removing /proc/PID where PID is
the PID of the offending job? Would this cause the end of the universe
as we know it?

2. Setting up PPP on a server. I have found that some dial-up users can
get around with no problems using particular IP addresses, but others
cannot. There does not appear to be any range of IP's that work and I
cannot find any reference to any restrictions on the IP's I use. By this
I mean the last part of our class C address space. Any thoughts on this.

Thanks as always, Dave.
