PPP: uu_lock()

[Daniel E Baumann]

I disabled the gateway setting code in PPP in hopes of getting it to dial in and
this is what I got (from /var/log/syslog):

May  6 00:39:51 localhost ppp[7087]: tun0: Phase: Parent: Child failed (errdead)

The main problem being:

May  6 00:39:51 localhost ppp[7088]: tun0: Phase: deflink: /dev/com0 is in use: 
uu_lock: creat error: No such file or directory

If you follow the code, this is the relevant snippet:

static int
physical_Lock(struct physical *p)
{
        int res;

        if (*p->name.full == '/' && p->type != PHYS_DIRECT &&
                 (res = ID0uu_lock(p->name.base)) != UU_LOCK_OK) {
                if (res == UU_LOCK_INUSE)
                        log_Printf(LogPHASE, "%s: %s is in use\n", 
p->link.name, p->name.full);
                else
                        log_Printf(LogPHASE, "%s: %s is in use: uu_lock: %s\n",
                                                                 p->link.name, 
p->name.full, uu_lockerr(res));
                return 0;
        }
        return 1;
}

I think it is returning UU_LOCK_CREAT_ERR, why would it not be able to create 
the
lock file? I was running it as root.

And if cynics ridicule freedom, ridicule community...if ``hard nosed 
realists'' say that profit is the only ideal...just ignore them, and use 
copyleft all the same.
