Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pppoe
SUMMARY: pppoe-server, which is part of the pppoe package tries to invoke /pppd instead of /usr/sbin/pppd. BACKGROUND: When it receives an auth request from a pppoe client, the pppoe-server daemon needs to invoke /usr/sbin/pppd. After the daemon is started, it chdir()'s to "/" and on receiving an auth request, it invokes the "pppd" binary from current dir (which is /). It should actually invoke /usr/sbin/pppd instead. A bug has been filed in debian but has been left unattended for long. This probably effects dapper too. This forum thread describes one practical instance of this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=291926&highlight=pppoe Debian Bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=380584 ** Affects: rp-pppoe (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- pppoe-server compiled with incorrect path to pppd https://launchpad.net/bugs/72967 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
