Bug 20938

Summary:	ppp barfs on tabs in certain places in ppp.conf
Product:	Base System	Reporter:	petervd <petervd>

Description petervd 2000-08-30 11:20:05 UTC

The line
 add default HISADDR			# Add a (sticky) default route
apparantly triggers some parsing bug in /usr/sbin/ppp. Removing tabs
helps.

Fix: 

Workaround: remove tabs (or, just to be sure, everything) after 'HISADDR'.
How-To-Repeat: 
Add above line (which exists in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf by default after a
recent cvsup) to ppp.conf and try to use ppp. It will most probably
complain about failing to add a route, and after dialin will not set
a default route.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

Fixed in -stable and -current.  Ppp was mistakenly considering the extra 
whitespace as an extra empty argument
