initscripts/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp, branch initscripts-9.03.3-1

The adsl-* and pppd programs have been in /usr/sbin for ~10 years.

Ergo, stop checking if they're in /sbin.

Use $() instead of `` for process expansion.

Don't background logger, to avoid spurious SIGCHLD deliveries to execed pppd. (#448881)

Remove support for 'ifcfg-foo-bar' configurations that automatically inherit from 'ifcfg-foo'.

2009-03-16T20:02:19+00:00

1) I'm not sure of anything at all that ever supported this except for manual configuration.
2) '-' is a valid character in ethernet device names. So you can't have 'ifcfg-eth0-2' files that work.
3) Having it work for every '-' separated combination, except those that end in 'g' is just strange.

All networking scripts from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts call logger without
full path. This can prevent system from booting if let's say dcc is installed
when compiled with wrong parameters and  installs /usr/sbin/logger (see bellow)
It's not really a bug but this can be easily prevented. All /etc/init.d scripts
use full path for logger network-scripts should use it also

Use 0.0.0.0/0, not 0/0. (#460580)

Updated iproute doesn't like the old syntax.

pass path to '.' always (#206035)

Add METRIC= support for default routes (#124045)

2006-05-10T00:08:02+00:00

* ifup-ppp, network-functions: Save all default routes, lose no data.
* network-functions:
  - (find_gateway_dev): Fix - it should find the device while $GATEWAY is not
    the default route
  - (add_default_route): Don't use configuration for the device that is being
    brought down; document function purpose and bugs.

Don't unnecessarily keep the ifup-ppp process (#163950, patch by Avi Kivity
