Is this still the case with the initscripts package from Raw Hide? There's no mention of this file in our latest build tree. closed, lack of input. |
When a ppp connection starts /etc/ppp/ip-up creates a file called /var/run/ppp-logical-device.dev which contains the interface device name of the ppp link. This file is never deleted. It should be cleaned up by /etc/ppp/ip-down. This can be done by adding this line (which is an overkill but anyway): [ ".$(cat /var/run/ppp-${LOGDEVICE}.dev)" = ".$REALDEVICE" ] && rm /var/run/ppp-${LOGDEVICE}.dev
