Number: 26605 Category: docs Synopsis: The documents for ppp(8) have some inconsistencies with its
behavier. Confidential: no Severity: serious Priority: medium Responsible: freebsd-doc State: open Quarter: Keywords: Date-Required: Class: doc-bug Submitter-Id: current-users Arrival-Date: Sun Apr 15 17:00:00 PDT 2001 Closed-Date: Last-Modified: Originator: Hiroyuki CHIBA Release: 4.2-Release Organization: IMASY Environment:

Description:

ppp(8) doesn't work when the phone number includes "#" and is not embraced with """ in ppp.conf. It has not been occuered with 4.1R or earlier.

1) all examples of "set phone" in /usr/share/ppp/ppp.conf have raw phone numbers without embracement.

2) Manual pages of ppp(8) has an ambiguous example as: set phone telno[|backupnumber]...[:nextnumber]... without any descriptions that suggest of embracement.

Note: The phone number with "#" is used for designation of protocols such as "PIAFS" by a Japanese carrier company. It may be machine-independed, I think.

How-To-Repeat:

For examples, including "set phone 1234567##4" in ppp.conf ppp doesn't dial to any distinations, "1234567##4" or "1234567" .

Fix:

1) embrace all phone number of examples with """. (/usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample) 2) clarify that it is needed embracement for phone number.

or 1) (same). 2) clarify that "#" in phone number is needed a quotation with "\" .
