Hmm... Seems, some things changed a lot since I've used ppp last time...
Must have been a long, long time ago then. Last time I touched the ip-up scripts was in 2004 and smpppd hasn't changed much for even longer :-)
The workflow is: - ifup dsl0 starts /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/ifup-ppp calling smpppd-ifcfg --up what triggers smpppd to connect(?)
smpppd-ifcfg starts pppd directly itself. smpppd-ifcfg connects to smpppd to tell it about the connection status though.
would you take a look at this issue, especially why the ifup post scripts have been disabled in ip-up? Were there some problem with them?
Karsten disabled the calls due to bug 54048 in 2004. I didn't dare to touch that area again. Reading that old bug proper fix would have been to not take the link down in ifdown if DoD is configured I guess. (In reply to comment #14)
Maintenance,
Do we need a updates for this issue?
The bug (or missing feature) is really old and a workaround exists so no need for an update IMO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
