Furge >Organization: Home user >Release: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386 >Environment: /etc/gettytab entry: dial.115200:\ :np:to#30:sp#115200:pp=/usr/sbin/pppd >Description: With the timeout option enabled in a gettytab entry (:to#30:) and pppd invoked when getty automatically detects a ppp header, pppd dies with SIGALRM when the timeout occurrs. >How-To-Repeat: Add the ':to#30:' option to a getty dialup config. Set the 'pp' option to automatically start pppd when getty detects a ppp frame. Pppd will then die when getty should have died due to a timeout. >Fix: Apply the following patch to main.c of the getty source. This patch is relative to -current as of May 31, 1997. *** main.c.orig Sat May 31 14:42:56 1997 --- main.c Sat May 31 14:43:01 1997 *************** *** 349,354 **** --- 349,357 ---- alarm(TO); } if ((rval = getname()) == 2) { + oflush(); + alarm(0); + signal(SIGALRM, SIG_DFL); execle(PP, "ppplogin", ttyn, (char *) 0, env); syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: %m", PP); exit(1); >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
