I'm using the new baselayout to get a pppoe-connection. My /etc/conf.d/net:
config_ppp0=( "ppp" )
plugins_ppp0=( "pppoe" )
pppd_ppp0="defaultroute"
link_ppp0=( "eth1" )
username_ppp0=( "xxx" )
I've a program updating my dyndns-account, which is started by
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local and stopped by /etc/ppp/ip-up.local.
It's started without problems, but when I do a /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 stop it's
not stopped.
But: If I pull out the cable from the pppoe-modem, the connection drops, the
status of the /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 scripts gets inactive and the program is
stopped (=> the /etc/ppp/ip-down.local-Script is working!). After plugging the
cable in again the program is also started properly again...
A short search in /lib/rcscripts/net/pppd.sh lists me the following line which
stops the ppp-connection:
start-stop-daemon --stop --exec /usr/sbin/pppd --pidfile "${pidfile}"
When I manually stop the ppp-daemon with this command (by replacing
"${pidfile}" with /var/run/ppp-ppp0.pid), /etc/ppp/ip-up.local has also stopped
my dyndns-program!
Only if I stop it via /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 the script /etc/ppp/ip-down.local
seems not to be run.
It's not really important that this feature works for my dyndns-script, but I
have thought about some advanced routing, then it would become important...
I don't know why or how to resolv this "anomaly", maybe the ppp-connection is
set down or something like this before ppp is stopped, so that ppp doesn't run
etc/ppp/ip-down.local?!
It's reproducible on several machines, all running sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.1
and net-dialup/ppp-2.4.3-r16.
I've not tried if the problem exists with older versions of the packages.
Any more infos needed?

I can confirm this behaviour. Since one of the last versions of baselayout,
ip-down.local isn't called anymore, though ip-up.local is. I do some "nasty"
things in ip-up/ip-down (i.e. VPN restart, etc.), so I know well if it is
called or not (SYSLOG entries are written).
But I haven't investigated further...
