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.
