Hi,
after the latest updates I just noticed a different behaviour of ppp.
in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup I had an additional line
iface clear
for my profile to get rid of stuffed up IP pairs. After the latest update
this entry also clears my defaultroute, but only after redialing.
I now had to put the "iface clear" into /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown, but then
the old IP pair is still there during the next connection.
Were my assumptions wrong (regarding the "iface clear" command) or is
something
broken in ppp?
I have an idea which might cause the accidential removal of the defaultroute
after redialing:
Before the first connection I have to set a dummy IP pair:
set ifaddr 172.23.11.1/0 172.23.11.2/0 255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0
so my defaulroute will be set to 172.23.11.2
After dialing I'm getting a different destination IP address from my provider,
and
the old route will be deleted:
route del $OLDADDR
But after that, even if my own address will be different, the destination
address will be the same:
tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
inet6 fe80::2e0:7dff:fe75:fdfb%tun0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
inet 217.224.28.71 --> 217.5.98.90 netmask 0xffffffff
inet 217.224.27.153 --> 217.5.98.90 netmask 0xffffffff
so after executing "iface clear" from /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup, ppp will also
delete
the old route - but this time the old route is the same as the current one.
BTW: If I disable IPv6 in the kernel, ppp won't start at all. It will spit out
tons of messages
Error: iface_Add: socket(): Protocol not supported
