Created attachment 23457 [details, diff] Fix for the stated bug This is a (the) fix for the stated misbehaviour. Note that I also did some prettyprinting, message consistency stuff and a nicer "whoami" test. Please review and commit upstream.
ARGH! Wrong click... please reassign to the correct people. Sorry!
Created attachment 23471 [details] fixed vpnclient file i am truly sorry, but the patch doesn't solve the problem for me. i am running a 2.6 kernel with udev. i don't now if the problem is related to that, because it is actually the modprobe, which doesn't work for me. so i changed the modprobe to insmod and rmmod. now the script is working. i recreated the whole script with your and my changes.
I'll take a look at it when I get a chance.
Fixed in CVS...
the script isn't working in course of the /sbin/insmod -qs ${PC}/${VPNMOD} (line 38). remove the -qs and it will work.
Why would I need to remove the quiet and syslog flags? They work with both modutils and module-init-tools.
root@vapier 0 root # /etc/init.d/vpnclient start * Starting Cisco VPN Client... insmod: can't read '-qs': No such file or directory if i change the syntax to be 'insmod cisco_ipsec -qs' i then get this: insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.3-rc2/CiscoVPN/cisco_ipsec': -1 Unknown symbol in module if i remove the '-qs' it works :P
That is very strange. What do you get when you type a insmod --help? On several of my systems it works perfectly, so I am wondering if it is something with the version of insmod. Also, what if you remove the path from the insmod line? I'll change it if it "fixes" the script, but I don't understand why legitimate commandline options are not working, so I would prefer to solve that rather than work around it if possible.
sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.0_pre9 root@vapier 0 root # insmod --help insmod: can't read '--help': No such file or directory root@vapier 0 root # insmod cisco_ipsec -qs insmod: can't read 'cisco_ipsec': No such file or directory
I guess I'll be changing it, then... This just pisses me off, because I *liked* being able to force the module load to be quiet and log via syslog. By the way, sys-apps/module-init-tools-0.9.15_pre4 is what I'm running on, the latest stable x86.
Fixed in CVS
