Description of problem: sytems hangs during startup with demand dial ppp interface Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1.enable on boot startup for interface 2. 3. Actual results: System attempts to start ppp interface and sits there whating to dial if it fails it just waits. Expected results: if the system fails to dial the interface skip and retry in the background Additional info: looking into this problem i found that the line in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp that reads [ "${TYPE}" = "xDSL" ] || exec /sbin/ppp-watch "${DEVICE}" "$@" the system hangs because to many options are being passed to ppp-watch placing a echo before that line taht reads echo "${DEVICE}" "$@" revealed that the following was being passed ppp0 ifcfg-ppp0 boot by changing the line to read [ "${TYPE}" = "xDSL" ] || exec /sbin/ppp-watch "${DEVICE}" "$2" and changeing the echo to reflect this echo "${DEVICE}" "$2" ppp0 boot are passed to ppp-watch and the system boots Ok every time.
