Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ppp
The startup script /etc/ppp/ip-up optionally calls another startup
script /etc/ppp/ip-up.local iff the latter exists and is executable.
However, it incorrectly passes its command line arguments on to ip-
up.local.
More precisely, line 47 in version 2.4.4rel-9ubuntu2 reads:
exec /etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$*"
This invokes ip-up.local like
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6"
(similarly for >6 arguments). Thus ip-up.local is called with only 1 argument.
Instead, line 47 should be
exec /etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$@"
which invokes ip-up.local like
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6"
A corresponding patch is attached.
** Affects: ppp (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
