Dear Mandrake Users;
I am using a 'PPP' link to my IPS. Usually 'pppd' creates a
'/var/run/ppp0.pid' which contains the PID of that process. You can use
this to kill the PPP process and break the connection later. But in case
of Linux-Mandrake 'pppd' creates a '/etc/ppp/ppp0.pid' file instead, which
is not standard. Because all '.pid' files should go to '/var/run'
directory and not some place else. I want to know how can I fix this. I
mean how can I make 'pppd' to create it's 'ppp0.pid' in the '/var/run'
(standard place) and not '/etc/ppp'.
Sincerely,
Hassan
