Bug 284460 – net-dialup/pptpclient-1.7.2: wrong hardcoded path (/bin/ip iso /sbin/ip)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description yegle 2009-09-10 10:11:34 UTC]

I'm trying to connect to a pptp vpn server, and I found this in debug message:
ipparam vpn             # (from /etc/ppp/peers/vpn)
nobsdcomp               # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp)
nodeflate               # (from /etc/ppp/options.pptp)
require-mppe-128                # (from /etc/ppp/peers/vpn)
using channel 6
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/2
sh: /bin/ip: No such file or directory
sh: /bin/ip: No such file or directory
sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0x8b9918d> <pcomp> <accomp>]

actually the ip command is /usr/sbin/ip

I strings /usr/sbin/pptp and found this is hardcoded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge pptp
2.try to connect to a pptp vpn server
3.you got it

Sorry the ip command is here: /sbin/ip

$ strings /usr/sbin/pptp|grep ip
/bin/ip route delete %s
/bin/ip route replace %s
/bin/ip route get %s
