The only difference that I spotted is the order in which the ip-up and ip6-up scripts are called. In the working case, ip6-up starts and finishes before ip-up starts. In the failing case, ip-up starts before ip6-up finishes. What do these scripts do? What might happen if they both run at the same time? > net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 > > May 23 21:38:49 alix-tst pppd[29490]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded. > May 23 21:38:49 alix-tst pppd[29491]: pppd

Well, at least it has been working for years in kernel 2.4 for me with pppd 2.4.2b3 to 2.4.4 (I've not upgraded my firewall to 2.6 yet). So it has definitely been working at some point.

AFAIK IPV6CP/PPP only allows to negotiate link local addresses. So I guess the global address and default route is assigned by another mechanism, maybe stateless autoconfiguration using router advertisement, although I was not aware it could be used on a PPP link because of the absence of MAC address. Enabling global forwarding (net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1) disables stateless autoconfiguration (see ip-sysctl.txt in kernel documentation) on all interfaces. I believe this is consistent with the observed behaviour. >>>>>When I start the ppp session with forwarding set to 0 I can ping out >>>>>and there exists a default route to ppp0 , then I switch forwarding to 1 >>>>>the default route disappears and therefore routing does not work any >>>>>longer. I have read reports about this. I guess the logic is that enabling forwarding turns the box into a router, so the default route learned from another router's advertisements by autoconfiguration should be deleted. Even the autoconfigured global address will eventually expire. > Well, at least it has been working for years in kernel 2.4 for me with > pppd 2.4.2b3 to 2.4.4 (I've not upgraded my firewall to 2.6 yet).

PS : Willy, do you plan to backport the security fix for the sit module from 2.6.25.3 into 2.4 ? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I've re-read the original mail more carefully and noticed that it was _autoconfiguration_ which does not work. For this, I don't know as I don't use it. My bad. > PS : Willy, do you plan to backport the security fix for the sit module > from 2.6.25.3 into 2.4 ? Yes, any security fix must be backported when appropriate. I just don't remember about this one, maybe I missed it. Care to send a pointer to the commit in 2.6 ? Thanks, Willy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
