Userland PPP fails to load via rc.conf (7.2/amd64)
Hi Guys, I ran into the same problem as this person did (see the link below): http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-...@freebsd.org/msg24337.html ppp starts fine if invoked from shell prompt, however the problem above occurs for me when I attempt to start it automatically at boot via /etc/rc.conf Funnily enough, the solution presented in that article seems to fix the issue.. But why? This problem is very easy to reproduce, how could it have been overlooked? I just happened to find the article in the link above, out of desperation, it's not good that I had to Google for a solution. Is the solution given safe? Should I open a PR?

Actually I did change the root shell to bash. U think that might cause it?

Definately. before ldconfig is run, only the system libraries in /lib and /usr/lib are known. Doing a su -m root at that time, as /etc/rc.d/ppp is doing, will result in the error message you got, as bash wants to load libintl.so.8, which lives in /usr/local/lib.

Re: Userland PPP fails to load via rc.conf (7.2/amd64)
Thank you Ruben :-) :-) I wouldn't have thought in a million years that could be the issue, but what you have said makes perfect sense. Looks like its back to /bin/sh for root. Cheers, Alex.
