Public bug reported:
pppoe-server starts pppd with local and remote IP addresses specified in
command line even if this is not configured.
But if pppd using it's own configuration for endpoint addresses, then command
line options, added by pppoe-server interfer with pppd configuration and
precent from normal working. The are no any way to turn off this behaviour of
pppoe-server and it adds it's own IP addresses to every spawned pppd.
I'm using radius plugin in pppd for authentication and address
assigment, but when pppd starts from pppoe-server with addresses
specified in command line, then pppd using this addresses instead of
those, configured by radius server.
By analogy, pptpd daemon have configuration option "delegate", which
turn off this behavior and delegate address assigment to pppd.
I created a patch for pppoe-server, which add new command line option
"-D", which cause pppoe-server to skip adding local and remote addresses
to pppd command line and delegate address assigment to pppd
configuration.
This is working fine for me many years and I think it may be very
usefull for other ISP like me. Please consider to include this patch to
distribution.
