Description Francois Joannette 2007-04-01 15:13:12 UTC
The following commands part of the  net-dialup/rp-pppoe-3.8 packages are broken:
pppoe-start, pppoe-stop, pppoe-status, pppoe-connect 

The bug displays "You must be root to run this script" when you uses then even if you're root. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge rp-pppoe USE="-X"
2.pppoe-start


Actual Results:  
Console message:"You must be root to run this script"
Impossible to set a dsl connection.


SOLUTION TO FIX IT:

It's simple. In all pppoe-* scipts, it refers to the "id" command located in /bin/id. It's instead in /usr/bin/id.

It just need to be set and everything is then good.

Please file ebuild bugs in the 'Gentoo Linux' product instead of Developer Relations.
Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-01 15:36:16 UTC
Please search. Plus use baselayout instead of this deprecated cruft.
