Re : [expert] Problem with ifup ppp0 in LM 8.0
I puzzled yesterday w/ my ifup-ppp without any success.
I just checked the CVS for initscripts.
It seems that in 7.2 ifup-ppp :
1) did not run ppp-watch when ifcf-ppp0 had DEMAND=yes
2) did a shift before invoking ppp-watch "${DEVICE}" "$@"
Does anyone know the meaning of this change ?
Shouldn't we insert a shift before calling ppp-watch ?
Someone must know...
TIA
RE: [expert] Problem with ifup ppp0 in LM 8.0
I tried that already and it didn't work either. My only solution was to install wvdial and use it instead of ifup ppp0 on my connection script.

You need to use the Networking tab in Mandrake Control Center to setup your ppp... if you use Linuxconf, it won't be configured right. I figured this out by trial and error (and have posted this before so please check the list archives next time). Anyway, yes, /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 does get used, and here is the contents of mine (notice the difference): connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0" -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], ICQ#: 25370820, OpenPGP key at www.keyserver.net 1024D/39F0BBF4 2024 B7CB 10BF 6BE7 2ECE E0FD 1360 0181 39F0 BBF4 Current Linux uptime: 10 days 15 hours 5 minutes.

RE: [expert] Problem with ifup ppp0 in LM 8.0
I have the same problem on 8.0 and also traced it back to the ppp-watch line. I tried to run it manually and it does not work either. I had the same problem the first time I installed 7.2, but I solved it by removing the WVDIAL... variable in the ifcfg-ppp0 file, and then it worked. It seems to have some problems that it tries to use wvdial, but wvdial does not come with the Mandrake distro., it comes with RedHat. I installed wvdial to see if it solves this problem, and it does not work either. I've also seen a weird behavior prior installing wvdial. Everytime you run an ifup ppp0 a file named /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 is created and the contents have connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --remotename ppp0 --chat prtc.net" I don't know if ppp-watch reads this file and that is the problem.
