/etc/ppp/ip-up contains code that runs sendmail. (Shown in the patch.) I think it should belong to another package (say, sendmail-common), and be placed in a separate file: /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/sendmail. Then it will be easier to turn it off. --- /etc/ppp/ip-up~ 2002-10-15 12:23:10 +0400 +++ /etc/ppp/ip-up 2002-11-21 23:12:04 +0300 @@ -36,9 +36,9 @@ IP_UP_LOCAL=/etc/ppp/ip-up.local [ -x \"$IP_UP_LOCAL\" ] && \"$IP_UP_LOCAL\" \"$@\" -SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail -if [ -x \"$SENDMAIL\" ]; then - \"$SENDMAIL\" -q &>/dev/null & -fi +#SENDMAIL=/usr/sbin/sendmail +#if [ -x \"$SENDMAIL\" ]; then +# \"$SENDMAIL\" -q &>/dev/null & +#fi exit 0 --- ---
there was a discussion of \"SysV\"\'ization of interface events, look in sisyphus/devel for my and MhZ\'s messages (keywords: sysv, ppp.d). MhZ proposed that this be implemented as more general scheme, whilst I was intending to do that for pppN initially. Ivan, look there for real. Hopefully together we (three+) could rush that in the right direction :-)
