Emerged ppp-2.4.2-r2 and dialup is successful, but it leaves the /etc/resolv.conf file chmod 640 with owner/group of root. Since user apps need to be able to read this file (ie: ssh) in order to resolve targets, this is highly annoying. I have gone in to the /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 and disabled PEERDNS yet the remote DNS is still being applied and that is when the permissions get changed on the file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /usr/portage/net-dialup/ppp/ 2. emerge ppp-2.4.2-r2.ebuild 3. configure /etc/conf.d/net.ppp0 4. /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start 5. ls -la /etc/resolv.conf Actual Results: resolv.conf is set as 640 (-rw-r-----) Expected Results: resolv.conf should be set as 644 (-rw-r--r--) after ppp0 comes up, chomd 644 /etc/resolv.conf fixes user-level applications DNS failures...
I think your /etc/ppp/ip-up script is to blame. Could you confirm that?
dup - yes this should of been fixed ages ago. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 37886 ***
