I have this in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 # Ick. Trick adsl-start into thinking we're in demand mode. But not pppoe-connect if [ "$0" = "/usr/sbin/adsl-start" ]; then DEMAND=yes else DEMAND=no fi I don't want demand mode -- I don't want pppd to wait until there's outbound traffic; I need it to connect *immediately* and remain connected whenever it can. This is especially relevant because most of the outbound traffic on this interface is IPv6 -- and that doesn't even cause a demand-dial, because the default IPv6 route is only set from ip-up when the connection is actually made. I can't just rely on the occasional outbound ntp packet to keep the connection up, which is why a lot of people don't notice this bug and just use 'DEMAND=yes' mode. But I *do* need 'DEMAND=yes' in /usr/sbin/adsl-start, because there it does something completely different -- it means that the script doesn't wait, and delay my boot, until the ADSL line is synced and the connection is actually made... and it means that the script doesn't *kill* the running pppoe-connect dæmon script when it fails to connect quickly enough. How can we fix this so that I don't have to evil things in my ifcfg-ppp0 script?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'. 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 13'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 13 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
