[RP-PPPoE] Error message for pppoe-server - no client slots

[Insane Laughing Clown]

Hi,

What it means is that you have reached the maximum number of possible 
sessions.

When you start pppoe-server one of the paramaters is the number of 
sessions to allow because each pppoe session requires 1 slot for 
management purposes. Short term you should look thru your active 
sessions and just verify that there is not some user using a whole bunch 
- check by mac address (used something like ps auxw and then sift thru 
the output). Session control is weak (no offense david) and its 
possible, without external intervention, for sessions to pile up for bad 
clients (many many out there). Later versions of the server have 1 
session per mac control but only if you enable it.
