Hello all:
I'm a linux newbie. In fact, I've never manged to get ppp running yet.
I've got the RedHat 5.1 Manhattan distribution. After installing the
OS, which was successful, I setup all the pppd files as described in the
ppp HOWTO but I can't even start the daemon. It puts put a message
stating that my kernel lacks support for ppp. I checked whether it was
loaded as a module with 'lsmod' but the list was empty. I tried loading
it with 'insmod -v ppp' and I got a number of unresolved symbol messages
most of which had a prefix of "slhc_free_". Do I have to recompile the
kernel? If so, should I compile ppp support as a module or make it part
of the kernel?
I thought I would have to do nothing except set up the daemon files, of
course. When I installed linux I opted for dialup networking and not
lan networking. I certainly don't expect to have to recompile the
kernel! That sounds a bit too much. So I guess I must be missing
something.
I would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks!
