Bug 49861 – net-dialup/ppp: /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 does not handle INITSTRING correctly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alin Năstac (RETIRED) 2004-05-03 10:03:34 UTC]

There is a small mistake in /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 related to creation of /etc/ppp/chat-* file. I guess the template of chat file got modified.

Old line: 
   sed -e "9i\\'OK\' \'${INITSTRING}\'"
Correct line:
   sed -e "12i\\'OK\' \'${INITSTRING}\'"

Maybe it's best to put something like:
   'OK' 'AT$INITSTRING'
in template chat file.

Reproducible: Always

Hi guys... Sorry for the delay in this bug. The net-dialup team was a little strained. I will be gathering up all the ppp bugs and features and rolling out a new release soon. Thank you for your patience and for reporting this bug!

if you are a little understaffed, I'm offering to do the job; I could donate 5-8 hours/week for this extraordinar distribution.
I'm a proffesional software developer and I have significant gentoo experience - about 1.5 years.

Created attachment 38798 [details, diff]
patch against net.ppp0

the patch is made against net.ppp0 from ppp-2.4.2-r2 ebuild.
with this script, INITSTRING line is inserted just above $NUMBER line.
