This is a modified version of a patch from openSUSE that enables PPP interfaces
to be called arbitrary names, rather than simply pppX where X is the unit
number.
The modifications from the stock openSUSE patch are:
- refresh patch on top of 018_ip-up_option.diff
- fix a printf format-string vulnerability in pppd/main.c:set_ifunit()
- clarify the pppd.8 manpage additions
- patch pppstats/pppstats.c to query renamed interfaces without complaint
