Hello all:
I'm attempting to configure a server to allow dial
in access.
I'm running debian wood on kernel 2.4.12. ppp
is compiled in.
my /etc/ppp/options:
--------------------------------
auth -chap +pap login modem crtscts debug proxyarp
lock
--------------------------------
my /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 (modem is on
com1):
--------------------------------
# If you need to set up multiple serial lines
differently, then copy this
# file to options.<ttyname> for each
<ttyname> with a modem on it.
#
# Example:
#
options.ttyS1 for the second
serial port (a.k.a. COM2)
#
# Edit the following line so that the first IP
address mentioned is the is
# the IP address or name of your host, while the
second is the IP address
# or name of the remote machine.
vpicserver:remotepeername
#
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2
10.0.0.1:10.0.0.2
# You may also put additional
settings in each file, just like in the
# general options file. For
example:
#
# noauth
# debug
# defaultroute
# mtu 296
#
#
Read pppd(8) for more information.
--------------------------------
from /etc/mgetty/login.config:
--------------------------------
#supposed to autostart pppd
/AutoPPP/ -
-
/usr/sbin/pppd
--------------------------------
from /var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS0.log:
--------------------------------
01/30 10:59:39 yS0 login:
'/etc/mgetty/login.config' must be root/0600: Invalid argument
--------------------------------
Also, there is no mention of pppd /var/log/debug
except of the instance where I launched it from the console. I added all
desired dial in users to group dip (debian way I think).
It looks like pppd isn't getting
called.
When I try to connect from a windows machine I get
a loopback error. I enabled the terminal login from dial up networking and
after entering my username and password I am at a shell prompt with none of the
ascii character garbage that pppd usually spits out.
Any ideas? Any help at all will be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks:
