Hello,
I have noticed that the use of the "-p file.pid" argument for loadproc is being
removed from BLFS bootscripts due to a bug in LFS bootscripts. Unfortunately,
the prohibition of the "-p" switch breaks the scenario when more than one pppd
is running in the planned update of the pppoe service. Please advise what
should
be done.
IMHO, the proper solution is to issue the LFS erratum, and mention it in BLFS.
The second possible solution is to ship the fixed "functions" file in BLFS
bootscripts, and let it overwrite the buggy file from LFS.
Here is a planned PPPoE-related diff of the BLFS bootscripts, that,
unfortunately, assumes non-buggy loadproc:
