if in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf CONNECT_TIMEOUT is equal to anything other than 0, adsl start but the only pid is ppp0.pid, /etc/init.d/rp-pppoe fail to start and is in a stopped state. ifconfig ppp0 show the link. but on a router (whithout X don't know if ... ) if link shut down it is not restarted. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot the computer ( ppp0 is up but rp-pppoe don't know... ) 2./etc/init.d/rp-pppoe status say "stopped" but it is false! 3. Actual Results: Change CONNECT_TIMEOUT=80 to =0 /etc/init.d/rp-pppoe start all is then ok ;) Expected Results: put in /var/run/ a bunch of files to realise that it is started ;) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.6 Portage 2.0.51-r3 (gcc34-x86-2004.2, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.9-g entoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor distcc 2.18.2 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disable d] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/fa x /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control /var/spool/fax/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks fixpackages sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://mir.zyrianes.net/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts clamav crypt cups encode f77 fam foo maticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod motif m peg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python quicktime readli ne samba sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
please remove --quiet from start-stop-daemon parameters and put some logs/outputs in here. I see in adsl-start that if CONNECT_TIMEOUT is 0, then it will not run adsl-status to see if connection is started or not.

sorry but i can't stop the two computers during day ( link via internet between two networks at work ) and rp-pppoe-3.5-r5 come and solved the pb before i come to the place of one of them: "/etc/init.d/rp-pppoe stop" don't try to stop a process not running ( even if it was ;) ) and a hard 'kill' on all process should have leave me in a very bad peace of life from home ;) beside this fact even if i was unable to test, the naming of pidfiles was the pb, this change in 3.5-r5 and work fine now. thanks for all and sorry
you should have told me the issue was resolved in -r5.
