Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Robert Vogelgesang 2012-07-18 11:28:40 UTC
Description of problem:
After installation of rp-pppoe, the pppoe-server is enabled by default

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rp-pppoe-3.10-8.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install rp-pppoe using yum or the GUI
2. chkconfig --list pppoe-server shows that pppoe-server is enabled
3.
  
Actual results:
pppoe-server gets started at each boot.

Expected results:
pppoe-server should not run by default, but only when enabled by the admin.

Additional info:
IMHO, the standard usage of rp-pppoe is running DSL connections as a client, connecting to some remote server, and not running a DSL network access server.

Current Fedora has this fixed, but this could be a side-effect of the conversion to systemd instead of SysV init.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-09-07 05:26:18 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
