description:
The documentation of the package say that
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post is called
when any network interface is brought up ( except a SLIP ones )
But, it seems that it doesn't work with ppp0
I use kppp to launch pppd, on a normal modem connexion.
Once the connexion is established, pppd execute the script
/etc/ppp/if-up.
This script execute /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, but it doesn't
execute /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post since
th variable $LOGDEVICE is empty.
This variable correspond to the 6th parameter of /etc/ppp/ip-up.
The ppp documentation say it is ipparam, which can be used on the command
line to pass a parameter to if-up script.
To give a exemple, the wondershaper script cannot be used out of the box since
the script is put in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup.d/ and is not executed
when ppp0 come up, while the documentation state that it should. Some
program such as ddclient, or ntp, could be used with a simple modem,
and it is easier to drop a file in a directory than writing in a file.
I suggest a patch, to use the REALDEVICE name instead of the LOGDEVICE if
the former is empty.
I don't think this break anything.
First, if-up source the config, which should not break anything.
It brings up static route if it can, but , since there is no static route, this should
not be a problem.
Then it replace the nameserver if they are not already specified.
It sends a signal to report the net connection to some program ,and run the
script in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup.d/
The same patch modify /etc/ppp/if-down, which has the same problem.
