[LineControl-development] feature request

[The N. <neu...@pa...>]

I have noticed two features that are missing from current LineControl server and client software.

The current software does not terminate the dialup process when I terminate the client and I am the only user. That is, sometimes I start the client and I am the only user authenticated, so the server starts PPPD or any other dialup tool; during the connection process, I decide to terminate it, and I think that the server has terminated the running dialup program. But that's false.
I have noticed it using lcc, because with xlc when the server is connecting, the disconnect option is not available.
Looking at the sources, specifically in server/proc_lcp3.c and debugging, I saw that the client sends a offline command only when a
connection has been instanciated. If I terminate the client during a connection, the client only gets a 'kick'.

There is another feature that is missing, IMHO. I cannot specify in the configuration file whether or not retry the connection if it fails.
