Description of problem: If the syslog service is running, which it generally is, clients attempting to connect to the pppoe-server fail to negotiate a PPP link. Ethernet-encapsulated PPP frames transmitted by the pppoe application do not get transmitted onto the Ethernet. If the syslog service is stopped then the pppoe-server works as it did in previous releases. This problem has been reported on the Roaring Penguin forum to affect FC6 as well but I haven't verified this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.5-31 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure syslog service is running. 2. Start pppoe-server. 3. Attempt to connect from a client on the LAN. Actual results: After exchanging PADI, PADO, PADR, PADS frames Wireshark will show the client periodically sending PPP LC Configuration Request frames without receiving any response. Eventually it gives up and send a PADT. Expected results: As above, but the client receives PPP LC Ack, PPP LC Configuration Request, the PPP session sets up and communication is established.
