Hi, i second the request in this bug report - its very inconsistent to not be able to set a default route from within the pppd config.
If this has been refused by the pppd upstream please provide some way
of triggering a script in ipv6-up.d in a obvious/documented way:
pobox:~# cat /etc/ppp/ipv6-up.d/routing
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "${CONNECT_TIME}" ]; then
if [ "${PPP_IPPARAM}" = "ipv6default" ]; then
ip -6 route add default dev ${PPP_IFACE}
fi
fi
Setting "ipparam ipv6default" in the ppp peers file together with this
shell script can be an option but there should be a standard way of doing
so probably even setting a default route by default as long as there is
no ipv6 default route.
Not providing a default route on availability of ipv6 is a show stopper for
ipv6 deployment - dual stack should simply work without need of the user to
know about it ...
