#1 Uninitialized variable *opts

[Anonymous]

After patching pppd in module auth.c:1811
variable *opts became uninitialized,
because function
/* ret = scan_authfile(f, client, server, secbuf,
&addrs, &opts, filename, 0);
fclose(f);
*/
where it got value is commented out!
In RedHat 7.3 cause pppd exit 11.

Solution:
replace line 1811:
- struct wordlist *addrs, *opts;
+ struct wordlist *addrs, *opts=NULL;

After that all works fine!
