I think I'll throw up if I read one more post like this: What is the best
XXX to install?. As the original poster might be able to discern from the
eager replies, what's stopping you from testing the stuff and forming your
own opinion?

Subject: Cisco RAS and callback.
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 18:24:48 -0000
My company has a RAS server which has a callback feature.
when you dail in (with win95) it prompts me for a number to call back
on......
but when I dial up with linux (with minicom) I get a username and password
and then get a RASbox> prompt.......where ppp is one of te options ....along
with a whole lot more.....
How can I get linux to use this callback service ?

Subject: Only 2 more _minor_ PPP questions!
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 12:03:11 -0600
Basically, my Redhat 5.2 PPP server is functioning. There are only 2 things
left that I need to figure out. The first is getting the PAP to do the
AUTO_PPP. More on that down below. The other thing is getting the DNS
entries out to my clients. On my Win '9x box, I can put the DNS numbers in
for our campus by hand, but I'd rather the server deliver them to the
client. It's delivering the IP from the options (options.ttyS#) and the
netmask (not really...), but I don't know how to make the options files(s)
send the client the DNS information. Maybe this isn't possible; I don't
know.
>chmod +s /usr/sbin/pppd as root.
Worked like a charm. Thanks.
>>The second problem I have is that it isn't routing my IP once I get logged
>>in via PPP. I can't ping or telnet, etc. I _am_ receiving my IP number

This option was already set.
>Make sure IPforwading in on. (etc/sysconfig/network FORWARD_IPV4=yes)
This option was _NOT_ set. It is now, and it works wonderfully. Thanks.
>>netmask 255.255.254.0
>Weird netmask. why the 254 rather than 255.
That's the netmask for the subnet the server is on. It's working now, even
though it's setting my '9x machine to FF.FF.00.00. No complaints - I just
wish I knew a) why it was sending the wrong one b) why it works.
>You have to decide how ou want them to log on-- whetehr with PAP or CHAP
>(better) or login. If with PAP or CHAP use AutoPPP in
>/etc/mgetty*/login.config.
In the following file:
/usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config
I uncommented this line:
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login kdebug 7 debug
But I still don't seem to be able to get the PAP working. I may not have
compiled the mgetty with the -DAUTO_PPP option done correctly. If I didn't,
exactly what do I put in the Makefile to have it do the AutoPPP?
This shows where I attempted to do it, not knowing what I was doing:
# If you want to support incoming FidoNet calls, add -DFIDO.
# If you want to auto-detect incoming PPP calls (with PAP authorization),
# add -DAUTO_PPP. Not needed if PPP callers want to get a real "login:"
# prompt first. Don't forget to activate the /AutoPPP/ line in login.config!
#
#CFLAGS=-Wall -O2 -pipe -DSECUREWARE -DUSE_POLL
CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -pipe -DAUTO_PPP
#CFLAGS=-O -DSVR4
#CFLAGS=-O -DSVR4 -DSVR42
#CFLAGS=-O -DUSE_POLL
#CFLAGS=-Wall -g -O2 -pipe
I think after I get mgetty recompiled, with the -DAUTO_PPP option right,
I'll be able to get my seamless login. After that and pushing the DNS
entries to the client, it ought to work fine.
Thanks for the past help and any future help you guys can offer.

I could be wrong, but this does not look like a chap session to me,
usually a CHAP authentication does not have a login prompt per se. I
have never been able to successfully connect to an ISP that uses NT for
authentication using the included ppp scripts (I know it can be done,,:)
). what I have done is download wvdial. it is really small, easy to
set up and really easy to use and it is intelligent enough to
differentiate between CHAP pAP and regular passwords. and best of
all....it's FREE! My ISP uses NT and for me I get something like this
when I use it
mhering@Darkstar:~$ wvdial &
[1] 2540
mhering@Darkstar:~$ --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.20
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ

--> Carrier detected. Waiting for prompt.
--> Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best.
--> Starting pppd at Mon Mar 22 11:28:46 1999
after this it is smooooth surfing!! and best of all, wvdial is free!!
ya can DL it (all of 93K)at http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial/
unpack, follow the instructions to compile set up and boom your' all
set!
Hope this helps :)

I checked my hosts.allow file and hosts.deny file and they seem to
be setup correctly, but it still does not work :-(
Here are my files:
#
# hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
# The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that
# the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular
# you should know that NFS uses portmap!
ALL EXCEPT in.ftpd: ALL
#
# hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are
# allowed to use the local INET services, as decided
# by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.
#
ALL: LOCAL, .cis.upenn.edu
Is there anything wrong with them? I added your stuff and
restarted the mountd, nfsd and inetd via killall -HUP, but
it still does not.

To All,
Recently (within the last month), I have had problems accessing my POP3
server and telnet when using a dial-up connection. When attempting to
access the POP3 server, I receive an error that lets me know the mail
server has terminated the TCP/IP connection. The same goes for TELNET. If
I try accessing the mail server through a direct (network) connection, I
have no problems. Any ideas as to why the connection is being reset?

Most terminal servers allow PPP or SLIP. I remember on the Xyplex
servers at my old university, it was the case, but the network office didn't
know how to use it. You just had to type "set port internet slip enable"
and have an IP address on the network. Boom, you were on, and could run all
