Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.5-5.1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I've been using the following entry in my /etc/network/interfaces
for years now:
auto Foo
iface Foo inet ppp
provider Foo
this used to start my PPTP VPN at boot, so it was always available
(I have it configured to only route some subnets). But "recently"
this has caused my machines to hang during the boot process.
Not sure what's going on, but it look like the ppp process is now
daemonized later (i.e. only after a successful connection). In my
case that ends up hanging because at the time the ppp process is started,
there is no network connection (the machine is a latop, connected via wifi
(when there's an available wifi network) setup by NetworkManager).
Stefan
