ip-down.local does not run anymore/ SuSE 10.0
Hi! I discovered that from February 24. 2006 the call ip-down.local and the scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d from /etc/ppp/ip-down (symbolic link to /etc/ip-up) did not run anymore on my SuSE 10.0 box running as a router for a DSL-connection to the internet. But till now I had no time to look after that. ...now I tracked it down to the following: In /etc/ppp/ip-down in the case-statement case "$BASENAME" in the choice ip-down) the call to the function start_firewall does not return! Tracked further down into this function I found that the call to the external program /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 start does not return anymore when ip-down is run with its basename "ip-down". But It does return if "/etc/ppp/ip-up" is called... I worked around that for me that way that I put the call to start_firewall after the calls to ip-down.local and ip-down.d/* So does someone use the .local-function in ip-down and has (or has not) similar problems?
