Namespaces and pppd

Namespaces and pppd

[Goran]

I'm trying to get pppd to create a ppp0 device inside a namespace.

I've tried something like this

ip netns add physical
ip link set enp5s0f0 netns physical
ip netns exec physical pppd call my-isp

pppd starts, I can see it in the process-list, but no ppp0 device is created.

Is there a solution?

Regards
Goran

I assume that you read the log and you can see it connect successfully?
I was just thinking if one could test this by creating a ppp device manually
with ip link add, but I thnk we can only create one with an ioctl().

And you looked within that netns for the ppp interface??
(I'd expect it to show up inside)

I also want to do what you just described.
