Hi all

Yesterday i found out that since last Thursday, April 24, 2008 all 10 minutes the following message is written in the messages log on /var/log of my Ubuntu 7.04:

Apr 27 07:50:01 test2 coova-chilli[16589]: ChilliSpot 1.0.8. Copyright 2002-2005 Mondru AB. Licensed under GPL. Copyright 2006-2007 David Bird <dbird at acm.org>. Licensed under GPL. See http://www.chillispot.org/ & http://coova.org/ for details

In the syslog is additionally mentionned, that there is a problem with the tun device:

As the chilli service hung, last Friday - the subscribers did receive an IP address, but were no longer redirected to the login page, i tried to restart the chilli service. But as chilli restart did not work, i tried also out the following:  chilli restart; chilli condrestart; chilli reload, as written wen just giving chilli and enter: start|stop|restart|condrestart|status|reload|radconfig . After each of them, the chilli seamed to be running, but the redirection only worked after a restart of the whole server. After restarting, the chilli service was up and the subscribers where redirected again, as usually, but only submentioned messages appear.

Can somebody imagine and describe, what i do wrong, where this messages are from, how and what occures and how can i remove them?

Thank you

Yours

Bruni
