I've tried the same configuration from a laptop and it worked fine.
I was confident in trying it on an ARM box running Slackware ARM 14.1 freshly updated but it fails.
I started pppoe-start in debug mode and got
this log file.
The only thing that seems to give error is setsid .... but it's there and it's not missing any libs. Anyone have any ideas as to why it's not working ?
