However, linkpidfile is never filled +in until create_linkpidfile has been called. + +IMHO the call should be made uncondtionally in detach() since +create_linkpidfile does its own check on linkname anyway. + +Please note that the version of pppd in woody always wrote the +linkpidfile after detaching. It did so in main() however. That +call has now been removed which is why I'm seeing this problem. + +[...] + +-- +Index: pppd/main.c +=================================================================== +RCS file: /var/cvs/snwb/packages/ppp/pppd/main.c,v +retrieving revision 1.11 +diff -u -r1.11 main.c +--- ppp/pppd/main.c 29 Nov 2004 22:49:23 -0000 1.11 ++++ ppp/pppd/main.c 5 Dec 2004 23:59:58 -0000 +@@ -819,8 +819,7 @@ + /* update pid files if they have been written already */ + if (pidfilename[0]) + create_pidfile(pid); +- if (linkpidfile[0]) +- create_linkpidfile(pid); ++ create_linkpidfile(pid); + exit(0); /* parent dies */ + } + setsid(); + |
