Hi, we recently migrated from Slackware to Red Hat and we're having
trouble getting our ppp server operational again. We're using ppp 2.3.3
and Red Hat 5.1 Intel. The modems are USR Courier V.Everything (external).
Here's a log of the ppp sesssion on the server. It is the same whether the
client is another linux box or win95 using a script that completes
successfully.
Aug 19 17:06:24 linux pppd[6010]: pppd 2.3.3 started by astrope, uid 574
Aug 19 17:06:24 linux pppd[6010]: Using interface ppp0
Aug 19 17:06:24 linux pppd[6010]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1
Aug 19 17:06:24 linux pppd[6010]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic
0xffff06ad> <pcomp> <accomp>]
Aug 19 17:06:52 linux last message repeated 9 times
Aug 19 17:06:55 linux pppd[6010]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Aug 19 17:06:55 linux pppd[6010]: Connection terminated.
Aug 19 17:06:55 linux pppd[6010]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Aug 19 17:06:55 linux pppd[6010]: Exit.
pppd is started by the user logging into the shell with a script and then
executing startppp which is an alias for "exec /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1".
The modem is on /dev/ttyS1 too.
As you can see from the log, pppd gets started, but a ppp session fails to
negotiate.
Here is the /etc/ppp/options file:
115200
-detach
lock
asyncmap 0
crtscts
modem
debug
kdebug 25
And here is the /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1 file:
192.168.1.1:192.168.1.10
proxyarp
pppd is running as both a client and a server, so that is why proxyarp is
in the options.ttyS1 file. I've also tried using the /AutoPPP/ feature of
mgetty with the same results. I have ppp support compiled into the kernel
and use ip masq and have ip forwarding compiled in as well. The outgoing
ppp connection works fine.
Like I said, we had this setup working great on Slackware using ppp
2.2.0f. I've also tried using 2.2.0f on the RH box with the same results.
I have no idea what I can be doing different this time around.
Any help is appreciated.
Tia,
Trevor
