Description Ed Wildgoose 2009-11-09 19:59:43 UTC 
Given it's desirable to use PPP on embedded boxes, could we please have the /etc/ppp/ip-[up|down]/40-dns.sh scripts ammended to use the short readlink option which is then compatible with both busybox and also the full size readlink tool.

eg:

--- /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/40-dns.sh  2009-11-09 14:47:44 +0000
+++ overlay/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/40-dns.sh   2008-02-29 00:06:20 +0000

                # follow any symlink to find the real file
-               REALRESOLVCONF=$(readlink --canonicalize /etc/resolv.conf)
+               REALRESOLVCONF=$(readlink -f /etc/resolv.conf)
 
                if [ "$REALRESOLVCONF" != "/etc/ppp/resolv.conf" ]; then
