I got this test version of LRP here:
http://users.skynet.be/Etienne.Charlier/DachSteinPPPoEech.htm
The authors page says:
Edited syslinux.cfg to remove dhclient and add pppd and
pppoe packages
The image does have a pppd.lrp and pppoe.lrp
Well here is what I have found. When I use the lrcfg program to
backup packages I get error messages and /dev/ram0 has memory
filled even though there are no files in /tmp. (By the way, I
have never seen du on a lrp distribution). Here is a sample of
the kind of error messages recorded. Notice the // in the path
# lrpkg -l > /tmp/ng
cat: /var/lib/lrpkg//pppd.version: no such file or directory
sed: /var/lib/lrpkg//pppd.help: no such file or directory
# cd /var/lib/lrpkg
# ls ppp*.*
ppp.conf
ppp.help
ppp.list
ppp.version
It appears that the internals of the pppd package are listed as
a ppp package.
I looked at the lrcfg lrcfg.back, lrcfg.back and
lrcfg.back.script and they look like standard Dave kill a cop
scripts.
I can't prove this, but I wonder if the author renamed a ppp.lrp
package to a pppd.lrp package and this is causing the backup
scripts to go nuts and screw up memory - so that /dev/ram0 has
no available space after trying to do a backup. Perhaps the
problem then is not with the test_20010527 but the particular
pppoe implementation of this test version.
