Unfortunately these can sometimes show faulty values because of integer wrap. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ppp-2.4.2-7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create /etc/ppp/ip-down.local script using $BYTES_SENT 2.run pppd over a link for a long time 3. Actual Results: BYTES_SENT most probably wont be correct CONNECT_TIME might show negative minutes. Expected Results: BYTES_SENT should always be number of bytes sent. Additional info:
Created attachment 121430 [details] Extends size of stats variables and corrects negative minutes One day the kernel driver will keep stats in __u64. When that happens pppd will be ready.
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Wouldn't it just be easier to check it out yourself? I have submitted the patch. See if the patch works (on FC4) then see if it works on latest release. I have ALREADY SOLVED A PROBLEM and have been generous enough to let other people know by submitting a patch. IT IS UP TO OTHER PEOPLE to decide whether they want this patch. Don't throw it back at me after REFUSING TO BOTHER LOOKING AT IT AND ASSESSING IT.
Fedora Core 4 is now completely unmaintained. These bugs can't be fixed in that version. If the issue still persists in current Fedora Core, please reopen. Thank you, and sorry about this.
Applicable to Fedora Core 6. Sorry about this.
Are you sure about the patch? - int t = (link_connect_time + 5) / 6; /* 1/10ths of minutes */ + unsigned int t = (link_connect_time + 5) / 6; /* 1/10ths of minutes */ I don't think this is necessary. - info("Connect time %d.%d minutes.", t/10, t%10); + info("Connect time %u.%u minutes.", t/10, t%10); This as well. - link_stats.bytes_out, link_stats.bytes_in); + (int)link_stats.bytes_out, (int)link_stats.bytes_in); Didn't you meant to cast these to unsigned? And it would be better if we wouldn't have to cast them in the first place.. Also, does the patch do any good at all since the kernel uses __u32 (equivalent to unsigned int on most architectures)?
You need to understand how %u and %d work. They don't know the type (unsigned/signed) of their argument. And it doesn't matter what the kernel uses. Again you have to understand how %d/%u work. Do you understand how %d/%u work in printf-like info? But in any case the patch fixes the problem. And all of the patch content is necessary to stop incorrect display of values.
Have you also tried and tested this patch against 2.4.4? If yes, it would be very cool of you if you could attach the new patch (well, at least the offsets would be corrected).
Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
