Hi, finally I got set up pppoe, which turned out to be surprisingly easy. It's working fine, though I'm getting a warning when the pppoe interface is brought up:
heimdali init.d # service net.ppp0 start * Bringing up interface ppp0 * Starting pppd in ppp0 ... [ ok ] * Backgrounding ... * WARNING: net.ppp0 has started, but is inactive heimdali init.d # Why is this warning showing, and what can I do about it? How does pppoe work together with shorewall and bind? When I stop the net.ppp0 service, shorewall is automatically stopped as well. When I start net.ppp0, shorewall is not started automatically. I would like to automatically have net.ppp0 first started and then shorewall. When net.ppp0 is stopped and restarted, I also must restart the name server (bind) :( Otherwise it is unable to resolve anything. Can this somehow be avoided? If not, can this be done automatically? The log files show martian sources from a bridge device which is used for the networking of a container: [1734776.722127] IPv4: martian source 255.255.255.255 from 192.168.1.1, on dev enp2s0 [1734776.722132] ll header: 00000000: ff ff ff ff ff ff 00 0b 6b 81 c9 44 08 00 ........k..D.. The enp2s0 interface is used for pppoe, 192.168.1.1 is the IP of the bridge. The bridge does not have a physical network interface assigned to it. The routefilter option is enabled on all interfaces. Why would there be such a broadcast originating from the bridge, and how can I prevent it? -- Again we must be afraid of speaking of daemons for fear that daemons might swallow us. Finally, this fear has become reasonable.
