Package: pppoe
Version: 3.8-1
It seems that pppoe-server distributed with etch has been built
with incorrect setting for PPPD_PATH in build environment.
The server would send PADT to the client immediately after PADS.
Running strace led me to this call in pppoe-server process:
execve("pppd", ["pppd", "pty", "/usr/sbin/pppoe... (irrelevant stuff)) =
-1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
As far as I understand, execve needs the full path to the executable file,
so it cannot run pppd and the child process of pppoe-server dies, which
results in session termination.
I installed sources for pppoe package and after building it with 'go' script
everything works fine. Running strace now gives:
execve("/usr/sbin/pppd", ["pppd", "pty", "/usr/sbin/pppoe... (same
irrelevant stuff)) = 0
Respective line in the source code is (I think)
execv(PPPD_PATH, argv);
It's called from startPPPDUserMode() and startPPPDLinuxKernelMode()
so I guess it's just incorrect setting for PPPD_PATH that broke the thing.
Best regards,
Artem.
