If you have used rpm to install then it puts the pre-compiled binaries in
appropriate places, just edit the config files and run.
You appear to want to do your own compile, (better), get the source and
then, in the source directory, run 'make' and 'make install'. You better
remove the rpm first.
If your dial in is coming from an NT, I believe that you will need to look
into chap authentication in pppd. I cannot help you there, my users use
only win95/mac at home.
Below is my notes that I made while setting up five modems to accept dial
in calls using ppp. My ip numbers will not apply to you of course, I have
replaced them xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx !
Setting up the PPP dial in services on RH 5.0 linux
-----------------------------------------------------
Doc : modems.txt
get source for ppp-2.3.4 and mgetty, copy to /usr/local/src
Tell pppd to put its binaries in /usr/local/sbin but must
let it keep it's config files in /etc/ppp (hard wired).
Need to edit ppp Makefile to send files to /usr/local/~
BINDIR /usr/local/sbin
MANDIR /usr/local/man
ETCDIR /etc/ppp
cd /usr/local/src/ppp-2.3.4
./config
make kernel
(now go and rebuild kernel :
cd /usr/src/linux
make dep
make clean
make boot (may need to edit out bad define)
copy new kernel to /boot (backup old first)
return to /usr/local/src/ppp-2.3.4
make
make install
substitute Correct IP for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in next block
[root@biotest ]# cd /etc/ppp
make options files that look like these :
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS0
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS4
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS5
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS6
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS7
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options
asyncmap 0
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
proxyarp
lock
crtscts
modem
ms-dns xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ms-wins xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
to help with logging :
[root@bctest ppp]# cat ip-down.local
#!/bin/bash
base=`basename $2`
echo -n $3 >> /var/log/pppd.$base
echo -n ' ' >> /var/log/pppd.$base
date +%H:%M >> /var/log/pppd.$base
Make it executable - chmod u+x ip-down.local
(make sure the other scripts are executable too)
Compile mgetty
cd /usr/local/src/mgetty-1.1.14
cp policy.h.dist policy.h
edit Makefile, ~ line 110, add -DAUTO_PPP
CFLAGS=-O2 -Wall -pipe -DAUTO_PPP
make
make install
cd /usr/local/etc/mgetty+sendfax
vi login.config and set the following :
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap
[Line Continued] login proxyarp kdebug 0
Add a group called modem
ie groupadd -g 800 modem
cd /etc
Add this to /etc/inittab, uncomment where req
# ------------------------------------------------------
# Modem lines 4-7 on multiport card, internal on Com2, S1.
# s0:345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS0
s1:345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS1

s6:345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS6
s7:345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS7
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
set the following line :
FORWARD_IPV4=true
Add to /etc/rc.d/rc.serial
${SETSERIAL} -v /dev/ttyS4 irq 5 autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS}
${SETSERIAL} -v /dev/ttyS5 irq 5 autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS}
${SETSERIAL} -v /dev/ttyS6 ${AUTO_IRQ} autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS}
${SETSERIAL} -v /dev/ttyS7 ${AUTO_IRQ} autoconfig ${STD_FLAGS}
Note that the first two lines manually specify the IRQ and the second
pair allow autoconfig. Both methods should work with the AST Fourport
board.
---------------
Create devices for the FourPort card to talk through if not already
there.
[root@bctest /dev]# cd /dev
[root@bctest /dev]# ./MAKEDEV ttyS4
[root@bctest /dev]# ./MAKEDEV ttyS5
[root@bctest /dev]# ./MAKEDEV ttyS6
[root@bctest /dev]# ./MAKEDEV ttyS7
And set their owners :
[root@bctest /dev]# chown uucp ttyS*
[root@bctest /dev]# chgrp modem ttyS*
[root@bctest /dev]#

As set up above, anyone with a valid users name / passwd can log on
and use the system. They do not need a valid shell. They do not need
to be a member of modemuser, that is just a convience.
Add a group called modemuser
ie groupadd -g 801 modemuser
Add each user with a false shell, a member of modemuser
/usr/sbin/addusr -s /bin/false -g modemuser -n <usr_name>
Each user will have a blank passwd, copy the encrypted passwd from
that users bioserve account to the /etc/passwd file.
{ -s shell; -g group; -n no_autogroup }
---------------------------------------------------
Good luck
