Created attachment 266007 [details, diff] Reintroduce previous fix for bug when using ppp + demand dialing It appears that somewhere along the way bug #145034 has been re-introduced into openrc? The background is that if you use pppd with the "demand" option then pppd creates a default route and brings up the interface if it sees traffic on the link. However, net.lo:stop() deletes all ip/routes associated with an interface, thus breaking the "demand" feature after the first dial/hangup round It appears that Roy fixed this in baselayout 1.12.5, but either it never made it to openrc-2 or it has been lost along the way (sorry not checked the source repos) The attached patch re-introduces Roy's fix from #145034, but also makes use of the IN_BACKGROUND variable to limit when we use this behaviour. This change should be safe because largely PPP should be managing it's own IPs/routes anyway, openrc is really just being a touch over thorough in this case Demand dialing is a less used feature, but some of us are still on dialup or have 3G connections that should not stay up except when required Grateful if you could apply
Your patch is applied in git, commit 60d8d4f. Thanks for the report and patch.
