The patch above doesn't help with today's SVN. Full testcase: 1) Install VMware Server, make two virtual machines (Client and Server) that boot from the LiveCD and have their network cards on the same private network (e.g. /dev/vmnet2) 2) Boot the Server, remove the "login" line from /etc/ppp/pppoe-server-options, uncomment the example "jdoe" user from /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. 3) On the Server, modprobe pppoe pppoe-server -L 10.0.0.1 -R 10.0.0.2 4) Boot the Client, run net-setup, configure pppoe for eth0 with the "jdoe" user and "guessit" password. Note that the LiveCD doesn't use the stock BLFS script for pppoe, see http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/browser/trunk/packages/blfs-bootscripts/blfs-bootscripts-newpppoe-1.patch 5) On the Client, run this stupid command (it spawns two pppds that try to talk to each other, just to make sure that there is a pppd not belonging to the pppoe connection): pppd noauth pty 'pppd noauth notty' nodetach debug 10.0.1.1:10.0.1.2 6) On the Client, /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifdown eth0 This should (and does) kill only the pppd that is responsible for the pppoe connection, and should (but doesn't without the patch) print a green [OK] in the top line of the output.
