Hi,
I recently did update my machine (didn't do so for a year <mehide> :) . It is likely that I messed up some things because I'm still not that familiar with portage/emerge as I should be, but I call this "learning by doing" ;-) . Today I'd ask for help concerning adsl. My machine automatically connects during boot, and this works great. When I shutdown the machine, I get an error that adsl doesn't seem to run. When trying to do an adsl-stop manually, I evenly get this message: adsl-stop: No ADSL connection appears to be running adsl-status is a bit more verbose: adsl-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.pppoe) And in fact, the file that the script is looking for simply doesn't exist: ls /var/run/ | grep adsl 63-adsl.pid 63-adsl.pid.pppd 63-adsl.pid.pppoe pppoe.conf-adsl.pid.start I checked /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and found the following lines: CF_BASE=`basename $CONFIG` PIDFILE="/var/run/$CF_BASE-adsl.pid" It appears to me that adsl-start creates another file that is searched by adsl-status or adsl-stop. But I wonder how this can be fixed? I really prefer to be able to kill my adsl connection without shutting down the machine, so any hints (even RTFM) are much appreciated.
