I've configued the rp-pppoe following the updated instruction in Gentoo |
| 2 |
Handbook, and my ADSL modem can be brought up at start up , however, the |
| 3 |
pppoe-status always returns message says that the PID file could not be |
| 4 |
found (which is definity wrong!). my network was working of course.. so. |
| 5 |
I found this issue was caused by the $PIDFILE which is defined in the |
| 6 |
/etc/ppp/pppoe.conf and read by pppoe-status script. but the comment right |
| 7 |
above that line says: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
# NB: Gentoo overrides PIDFILE when pppoe-start is run from the |
| 10 |
# networking scripts. This setting has no effect in that case. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
# below is the original definition |
| 13 |
#PIDFILE="/var/run/$CF_BASE-pppoe.pid" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
# Still wrong after I comment out the line above, so I have to change like |
| 16 |
this: |
| 17 |
PIDFILE="/var/run/rp-pppoe-eth0.pid" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
It works now though, I wonder if this is a small bug, i.e. the $PIDFILE has |
| 20 |
never been defined except in the pppoe.conf, |
| 21 |
and unfortunately, the only definition is not correct.. |
