L.S.
Here are two patches I've been using for a while on both 3.3R and 4.1R:
1. a pppd patch which sends the pppd messages to stderr.
This is useful for dialup connections under X (I use a script to startup
pppd, when the script is killed, so is pppd). Now the pppd startup
messages are sent to e.g. the xterm the script is started on (using
syslog.conf I can get this too but then all xterms get the messages
which is annoying; or is there a way to do this that I'm not aware of?).
Perhaps it's useful as a compile option or a runtime option.
2. a mkdir patch changing an error message.
If for example /tmp/aa does not exist then mkdir /tmp/aa/bb will report
/tmp/aa/bb: No such file or directory
This is true but not the point. The patch makes it say:
/tmp/aa: No such file or directory
