I originally sent this message to misc@ on April 17/2011, but I never
got a response and I can't find it in the archives. (I found this copy
in my sent mail).
I guess it never went through. Since I never heard anything back, I
figured I'd wait a while and see if the problem got corrected after the
kernel hackathon finished. (It didn't.)
I gave the most recent snapshot (June 29) a try, and the problem
remains, so I'll try sending this "again". I haven't seen anything
about this on the list since; surely I can't be the only person who has
run into this.
My original message:
After some experimenting, I've discovered that userland ppp stopped
working normally at some point between the March 24th and April 8th
snapshots.
I've been using the same ppp.{conf,linkup,linkdown} files for 6 months
now with 4.8-stable without any problems. This weekend I decided to
change firewall hardware and use -current, and the same configuration fails.
It's not the hardware: 4.8-stable and snapshots up to Mar. 24th work
just fine. The next snap I have in my collection is Apr. 8th, and
everything since then including Apr. 17th, fails.
Replication is simple:
- clean install, not an upgrade. No customizing/tweaking anything.
- copy my known-good ppp.* files over
- "up" the interface my DSL modem is on
- adjust syslog.conf to allow ppp logging to /var/log/ppp.log
# ppp -ddial mlppp (config file below; normally this done from rc.local)
- with anything <= Mar 24th, the connection works straight away
- with anything >= Apr. 8th, the ppp process loops continuously trying
to establish the connection
Looking at the log, the old version shows "LCP: 2: RecvConfigReq", after
which my MRU drops from 1500 to 1492, and the connection ultimately
succeeds. The new version only shows "LCP: 2: SendConfigReq" and the
redial process loops until manually stopped.
Does anyone have any idea if my config needs adjusting, or have I found
a bug? The only variable is the version of -current I use, and the
ppp(8) man page is the same. Nothing to indicate that my config needs
adjusting.
I'm not sure if the following log snippets show the proper information,
so I'll wait for requests for full logs instead of spamming the list
with a hugely long post.
Thanks,
- Scott
