Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.3-20050321+2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I suggest that /etc/ppp/ip-up should *append* to the logfile, not
overwrite. The other scripts (ip-down, ipv6-up and ipv6-down) append.
Here is my patch:
debian:/etc/ppp$ diff -u ip-up.dist ip-up
--- ip-up.dist 2005-05-05 18:32:20.000000000 +0100
+++ ip-up 2005-10-07 16:00:13.000000000 +0100

# If /var/log/ppp-ipupdown.log exists use it for logging.
if [ -e /var/log/ppp-ipupdown.log ]; then
- exec > /var/log/ppp-ipupdown.log 2>&1
+ exec >> /var/log/ppp-ipupdown.log 2>&1
echo $0 $*
echo
fi
If you accept this patch then the logfile may start to grow. So you
might want to rotate the logfile by modifying /etc/logrotate/ppp
It makes sense to use the same options as for /var/log/ppp-ipupdown.log
so I suggest the following patch:
debian:/etc/logrotate.d$ diff -u ppp.dist ppp
--- ppp.dist 2005-05-05 18:32:21.000000000 +0100
+++ ppp 2005-10-07 16:18:24.000000000 +0100
