after updating coreutils to version 6.9-r1 I got complain from pppoe-setup-script, that there is no such file as /bin/id. $ pppoe-setup Welcome to the Roaring Penguin PPPoE client setup. First, I will run some checks on your system to make sure the PPPoE client is installed properly... /usr/sbin/pppoe-setup: line 50: /bin/id: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/pppoe-setup: Sorry, you must be root to run this script I was urged to make symlink '$ln -s /usr/bin/id /bin/id' and now my pppoe-client-connection works again.
