Using diald, I've encountered a problem while making a dialup connection
for one of my IP masq'd boxen that has made a request for the internet.
Using ping and lynx, I generated the same result. I run ping or lynx,
and my gateway will dialup as usual, but then disconnect soon after the
connection is made. The following from /var/log/messages shows how far
pppd makes it before something goes wrong:
Jun 8 20:12:27 gateway pppd[309]: Serial connection established.
Jun 8 20:12:28 gateway pppd[309]: Using interface ppp0
Jun 8 20:12:28 gateway pppd[309]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Jun 8 20:12:28 gateway pppd[310]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Jun 8 20:12:29 gateway pppd[309]: Exit.
Jun 8 20:12:29 gateway pppd[310]: Exit.
Jun 8 20:12:32 gateway diald[304]: Delaying 30 seconds before clear to
dial.
Jun 8 20:12:43 gateway diald[304]: SIGTERM. Termination request
received. /* This is where I killed the diald process to do */
Jun 8 20:12:43 gateway diald[304]: Diald is dieing with code
0 /* some work. */
In syslog, the following occurs:
Jun 8 20:12:28 gateway pppd[309]: ioctl(SIOCSIFMTU): Invalid
argument(22)
Jun 8 20:15:18 gateway pppd[362]: ioctl(SIOCSIFMTU): Invalid
argument(22)
that is for both attempts, the first is when I tried pinging a server on
the net from my masq'd machine, the second when I ran lynx from the same
machine.
I am assuming this is because I have not properly set up my routing
scripts for dialup and dissconnect when dealing with IP Masq. However
I'd like to first confir with the experts just to make sure ;) BTW, if
anyone knows of a good howto or web site that has an explanation of
what's to be done to setup diald with IP Masq, could you let me know?
Thanx a lot!
