I'm trying to set up a PPP server using mgetty with AutoPPP option enabled. But my user cannot establish a connection using win95 dialup client.
Here's an excerpt of my ppp.log: Jul 19 15:28:51 hylx pppd[839]: pppd 2.3.5 started by a_ppp, uid 0 Jul 19 15:28:51 hylx pppd[839]: Using interface ppp0 Jul 19 15:28:51 hylx pppd[839]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 Jul 19 15:28:51 hylx pppd[839]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic 0x221ab194> <pcomp> <accomp>] Jul 19 15:28:51 hylx pppd[839]: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth pap> <magic 0x221ab194> <pcomp> <accomp>] Jul 19 15:28:53 hylx pppd[839]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x3 <asyncmap 0xa0000> <magic 0x359b31> <pcomp> <accomp> <callback 0x602>] Jul 19 15:28:53 hylx pppd[839]: sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x3 <callback 0x600>] Jul 19 15:28:54 hylx pppd[839]: rcvd [LCP ConfReq id=0x4 <asyncmap 0xa0000> <magic 0x359b31> <pcomp> <accomp>] Jul 19 15:28:54 hylx pppd[839]: sent [LCP ConfAck id=0x4 <asyncmap 0xa0000> <magic 0x359b31> <pcomp> <accomp>] Jul 19 15:28:54 hylx pppd[839]: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x0 magic=0x221ab194] Jul 19 15:28:54 hylx pppd[839]: rcvd [PAP AuthReq id=0x1 user="guest" password=""] Jul 19 15:28:54 hylx pppd[839]: user guest logged in Jul 19 15:29:31 hylx pppd[839]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Jul 19 15:30:11 hylx pppd[839]: sent [PAP AuthAck id=0x1 "Login ok"] Jul 19 15:30:11 hylx pppd[839]: write: warning: Input/output error(5) Jul 19 15:30:11 hylx pppd[839]: sent [IPCP ConfReq id=0x1 <addr 192.168.0.73> <compress VJ 0f 01>] Jul 19 15:30:11 hylx pppd[839]: write: warning: Input/output error(5) Jul 19 15:30:11 hylx pppd[839]: ioctl(PPPIOCSASYNCMAP): Input/output error(5) Jul 19 15:30:11 hylx pppd[839]: Exit. It seems that once 'guest' logged in, the pppd would not try to exchange packets with the remote peer anymore util the connection was dropped upon connection timeout. My configuration is as following: Hardware/software environment: An ethernet LAN with Internet access. One of the PCs acts as the PPP server, running Debian 2.0 with mgetty (package version 1.1.18-1) and ppp (package version 2.3.5-2) installed related section in configuration files: /etc/inittab: T3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -x2 -D ttyS1 /etc/mgetty/login.config: /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /etc/ppp/ppplogin * - - /bin/login @ /etc/ppp/ppplogin: #!/bin/sh mesg n stty -echo /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server /etc/ppp/options.server: ms-dns 192.168.0.1 asyncmap 0 auth crtscts lock modem netmask 255.255.255.0 -detach +pap -chap proxyarp login /etc/ppp/options/ttyS1: 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2 /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: * * "" * root * "*" * the "guest" entry in my /etc/passwd is: guest:x:1003:1003:,,,:/home/guest:/bin/bash I'm puzzled. Please help me - thanks a lot! And, would someone mind showing me how to set up a PPP dialup account with shell access and a PPP dialup account without shell access, respectively?
