Description Jesus de Santos Garcia 2005-11-01 16:01:58 UTC

Tested with the latest stable build: 2.4.2-r15

In the stop section of net.ppp0 it looks for the pid of the daemon in /var/run.
That's correct when the file with the pid exists, but pppd will only create that
file when the interface is up.

I have a situation here, where the pppd daemon starts but it is unable to create
the interface ppp0 (Waiting por PADO packets os something similar). In this
situation, for each net.ppp0 restart that I try it creates a new pppd process.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

You have 2 options. Either use "updetach" pppd option (for forcing pppd to
detach only when the connection is up) or use the upcoming pppd net module found
in bug #53954.

Hopefully, the actual net.ppp0 - the one installed by net-dialup/ppp - will be
soon removed.
