For most distros, no. Network Manager does a pretty good job at it. The typical case is to use a plugin and propagate this information. When this software was written...

I checked with the network manager guys. Like any VPN, pppd will communicate the DNS information to network-manager via a plugin, and thus modifying /etc/resolv.conf is bad (we knew that)....

Their response: > NM does not want that ppp reconfigures the system (/etc/resolv.conf or systemd-resolved). Instead -- when pppd is run by NM -- pppd should report the information back...

I'd favor the suggestion of using /run/ppp/resolv.conf, and also move the pppd2.tdb and pidfiles there. Any objections, @paulusmack > /run/ppp/resolv.conf is tidier and could also be garbage collected by systemd,...

I am with @rfc1036 on this, pppd should not write to the /etc/resolve.conf (or the /etc directory in general). It's the distribution maintainers responsibility to configure this correctly. On my...

@rsend Would you be able to upgrade to the latest on at least either side, i.e. upgrade to pppd-2.5.0? Also, please attach the configuration you have, and add some line...

I think pppd-2.5.0 support is in progress, see here: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/12848 I've never compiled or loaded it onto a openwrt device before. The problem with pppd is that there are many...

I think @dfskoll is right in that the first step is to review the code differences between the two. And then perhaps if possible consolidation of said code. I don't...

@Neustradamus if you / Paul were to make a https://github.com/ppp-project/rp-pppoe-plugin (doesn't exist yet), would it be possible to assign "ownership" of the project (or joint ownership) to @dfskoll Note the...

@dfskoll is rp-pppoe (server) and utilities distributed as a package per Debian or Ubuntu? If not, you should probably file a intent to package or request to package for this...
