Yeah, this is an issue with how it's reading profiles. Can you attach /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*? Created attachment 92570 [details]
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-UCI_lifeline
This is my PPP connection.
Created attachment 92571 [details]
/etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-lo
Created attachment 92572 [details]
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo is a symlink to /etc/sysconfig/networking/ifcfg-lo. I've attached all of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* now. (I someitmes connect this machine to Ethernet networks and sometimes use dialup, thus the presence of ifcfg-eth0 as well as ifcfg-UCI_lifeline.) If you need any more info or whatever, just ask. As of initscripts-7.25-1: "ifup UCI_lifeline" now ends with this instead: exec /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp ifcfg-UCI_lifeline But that still leads to: exec /sbin/ppp-watch ppp0 '' And that still fails with error 28. Created attachment 93253 [details]
patch against initscripts-7.28-1 to attempt to fix this bug
I don't know whether the bug is in ifup-ppp or in ppp-watch. This patch blindly
assumes the former.
This gets me to the point that redhat-config-network will dial up, and appear
to freeze at "Activating network device UCI_lifeline, please wait...". (Is
r-c-n waiting for ppp-watch to exit? I don't know how previous RHL released
worked in this regard, but ppp-watch doesn't exit on its own nowadays.) I'm
going to see what happens when I click "Cancel", but first I want to get this
attachment into Bugzilla.
Ok, clicking "Cancel" changes the message to "Cannot activate network device UCI_lifeline!" but keeps the dialog box on the screen and keeps the network connection up. Clicking "OK" dismisses the dialog box, but r-c-n still seems to think the PPP
connection isn't active ("Activate" is still clickable, while "Deactivate" is
grayed out). /sbin/ifconfig shows that the PPP connection is clearly up. r-c-n
is still clueless after I quit it and start it up again.
At some point during my last few comments, ppp-watch died but pppd lived on.
[root@i5000e network-scripts]# /sbin/ifdown ppp0
usage: ifdown <device name>
[root@i5000e network-scripts]# /sbin/ifdown UCI_lifeline
[root@i5000e network-scripts]# ifconfig ppp0

It looks like nothing short of actually killing pppd is going to terminate my
connection...
*** Bug 98781 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This should be fixed in initscripts-7.32-1; it requires changes to ifup-ppp, ifdown-ppp, and ppp-watch. 7.33-1, sorry. |
