Problem on AutoPPP

[tboy]

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

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:

/etc/ppp/pap-secrets:

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?

How to pronouce Debian?

[tboy]

Hi all,

I'm not a native english speaker so i don't know how to pronouce Debian --- 
it seems somewhat strange to me.
When i introduce Debian to my friends i have to spell it out letter by letter. 
Any help from native english speakers?

in a most economic way? Would anyone mind giving me some suggestion?

Please detail your suggestion because I'm not a veteran. Thanks.

How to move system directory to other partitions?(debian 2.0)

[tboy]

I have several partitions and want to move my /home to another partition. How 
to do this and make it work properly?
I've tried this( / is in /dev/hda3):

mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb2 /home

But I couldn't execute any script in the new '/home',even as root.
BTW: I noticed that some directories have a strange mode, e.g. drwxrwsr-x. What 
does the 's' mean? System directory? Why all the documentation I read don't 
mention it?
