Bug 98781
Description

does a # usernetctl <provider_name> up work? or a # /sbin/ifup <provider_name> ?? both as root.. the initscripts call wvdial like this: /usr/bin/wvdial --remotename <providername> <providername> and later on pppd calls: /etc/ppp/ip-up which then uses $LOGDEVICE (which is the remotename) to determine the config script. Then ifup-post does the DNS setting... in your case $LOGDEVICE is not set to providername, thus the setting fails. you can either rename the <providername> device to ppp0 by changing its Nickname in redhat-config-network or we debug, why ifup/usrnetctl does not work. *** Bug 98786 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 92835 [details]

ls -l of files where EACCES = access(file, X_OK)
/etc/bashrc, /etc/sysconfig/init, /etc/sysconfig/i18n are present and readable
by anybody, but do not have execute permission, hence testing for X_OK fails,
although the shell will still execute them.
err... # sh -x ifup <provider> would be more readable :) or # sh -x /sbin/ifup <provider> Created attachment 92838 [details]
cd /etc; find . -name '*<provider>*'
All the files in /etc or below with <provider> in the filename.

The suggested workaround: "wvdial --remotename <provider> <provider>" FAILS to set DNS. [Note <provider> appears twice, once for --remotename, and once more.] I still have to copy the DNS server settings manually from /var/log/messages to the Network Configuration > DNS tab, then File > Save, and then DNS works. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 97845 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
