Bug#641718: /usr/sbin/pppd: pppd persist does not actually persist

2011-09-15 Thread Freddie Witherden
Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.5-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/pppd

Dear Maintainer,

From an PPPoE ADSL connection:

Sep 15 09:56:21 lithium pppd[2805]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
Sep 15 09:56:21 lithium pppd[2805]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery
Sep 15 09:57:26 lithium pppd[2805]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets

Sep 15 10:00:41 lithium pppd[2805]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery
Sep 15 10:01:46 lithium pppd[2805]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets
Sep 15 10:01:46 lithium pppd[2805]: Unable to complete PPPoE Discovery
Sep 15 10:01:46 lithium pppd[2805]: Exit.

The config file -- created by pppoeconf -- has the persist option set
yet pppd is exiting after a certain number of failed tries.  There was
no user interaction during this period.  According to the documentation
the persist option should cause it to retry indefinitely.

Reports elsewhere [1] suggest this /may/ be related to udev killing
pppd but there is no indication of a SIGTERM being sent to pppd in
this instance.

I am unable to test this (or spend any time on ppp FWIW).
I think that there are multiple bugs open about this (please have a look
at the bugs page), so if it is confirmed I could fix udev.
Try it...
