Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.3-20041231+2
Severity: important
Hi,
I upgraded ppp to the latest version today (2.4.3) and found out that I
wasn't able to start it with "pon" or via "ifup".
So I tried starting it from the command-line with "pppd call provider".
Still didn't work.
Stracing it I found out that it stopped after parsing /etc/ppp/options.
For testing I renamed the file, tried again and lo and behold it worked.
Going through the options file entry by entry I found out that the
following line is the problem
active-filter 'outbound'
If I remove this line the daemon starts up without a problem.
For testing purposes I reverted back to ppp_2.4.2+20040428-6 and it
worked there WITH active-filter enabled.
Kind regards,
Michael
