Incorrect argument passing from ip-up to ip-up.local

[Carsten Schneemann]

Binary package hint: ppp

The startup script /etc/ppp/ip-up optionally calls another startup script /etc/ppp/ip-up.local iff the latter exists and is executable. However, it incorrectly passes its command line arguments on to ip-up.local.

More precisely, line 47 in version 2.4.4rel-9ubuntu2 reads:
  exec /etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$*"
This invokes ip-up.local like
  /etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6"
(similarly for >6 arguments). Thus ip-up.local is called with only 1 argument. Instead, line 47 should be
  exec /etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$@"
which invokes ip-up.local like
  /etc/ppp/ip-up.local "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6"

A corresponding patch is attached.

Of course, /etc/ppp/ip-down has exactly the same problem.
Find attached a patch fixing this, too.

I can confirm this.

The described workaround fixes the problem. Thank you!

Marking as confirmed, could somebody please apply this patch? Thank you!
