Subject: Bug#284382: ppp: linkpidfile is not created upon detachment
|
|
From: <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
|
|
|
|
Package: ppp
|
|
Version: 2.4.2+20040428-2
|
|
Severity: wishlist
|
|
|
|
When pppd detaches from the parent normally, that is, without nodetach
|
|
or updetach set, the linkpidfile is not created even when linkname is
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
This is because the create_linkpidfile call in detach() is only made
|
|
if the linkpidfile is filled in. However, linkpidfile is never filled
|
|
in until create_linkpidfile has been called.
|
|
|
|
IMHO the call should be made uncondtionally in detach() since
|
|
create_linkpidfile does its own check on linkname anyway.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the version of pppd in woody always wrote the
|
|
linkpidfile after detaching. It did so in main() however. That
|
|
call has now been removed which is why I'm seeing this problem.
