Using baselayout-1.10.1-r2 and rp-pppoe-3.5-r1 Per our conversation earlier today. Here is what happens when I try to start adsl via net.eth0: # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start * Bringing eth0 up... * eth0 adsl * Starting ADSL for eth0 adsl-start: Cannot read configuration file '/dev/fd/63' /sbin/runscript.sh: line 1: 6848 Broken pipe cat ${cfgfile} [ !! ] Using '/etc/init.d/rp-pppoe start' works fine, as does running adsl-start manually. I ran the net.eth0 with NET_DEBUG=1. There was a lot of output and I couldn't figure out how to pipe it to a file, but here is the interesting bit that you might want, nothing too informative though: ++ cat /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf + /usr/sbin/adsl-start /dev/fd/63 adsl-start: Cannot read configuration file '/dev/fd/63' /sbin/runscript.sh: line 1: 6960 Broken pipe cat ${cfgfile} I have no idea where it's getting '/dev/fd/63' from. The only parts I have changed in /etc/conf.d/net are: ifconfig_eth0=( "adsl" ) ifconfig_eth1=( "172.16.30.1 broadcast 172.16.30.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
FYI that was with bash 2.05b-r10. I'm emerging bash 3.0-r4 now. I'll report back.
I simply don't think that adsl-(start|stop) can read the config from stdin. It doesn't say it can in the documentation. I changed it to use a temp file, and this error is gone.
yes, latest rp-pppoe (3.5) has changed formats i've got a patch to fix this as i just debugged it on my little netwinder ... i'll post it here shortly
not sure how this could be coded, but here's how we fix this problem: iface_start_adsl() { local cfgfile iface=${1} user="${2}" # Decide which configuration to use. Hopefully there is an # interface-specific one cfgfile=/etc/ppp/pppoe-$iface.conf [[ -f ${cfgfile} ]] || cfgfile=/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf # Start ADSL with the cfgfile, but override ETH and PIDFILE einfo " Starting ADSL for ${iface}" GENTOO_PIDFILE=/var/run/adsl-${iface}.pid \ /usr/sbin/adsl-start ${iface} ${user} ${cfgfile} > ${devnull} eend $? || return $? } then we'd have to have a variable in /etc/conf.d/net: ifconfig_eth0_user="my-adsl-user" then when we call iface_start_adsl, the first param is the iface and the second param is the ISP account name (ifconfig_eth0_user) under this setup, the user would not have to setup anything in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf ... just /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (the password)
also, the stop function will need similar updates to make it work properly
why not use the init script from rp-pppoe?
because it doesnt provide the net.* stuff that it should perhaps if it was named 'net.adsl' instead of 'rp-pppoe' besides, if we went that route, it would require users setting up all the ppp files ... going the current route we are, they have to setup just one, pap-secrets
seems 1.11.1 and the new net module system makes this much worse now when i try to start an adsl interface, i get this error: Configuration not set for eth0 and then it defaults to dhcp !
fixed in latest baselayout-1.11.x (the only one currently available) and rp-pppoe-3.5-r3
