Andrew, this is a pretty much out of date set of notes. I set my system up
some time in the middle of last year, its worked fine since then so I have
had no reason to update the versions of PPP used. I believe that PPP has
changed quite a lot since then. Maybe it will be of some help....

Hi, I have posted this doc a couple of times before and people seem to have
found it usefull. It is notes of how I set up MY dial in server, its not a
general thing, translate things to suit your system, particulary IP NUMBERS !
RH5.0 may be getting a little out of date, I have used 5.2 elsewhere, seems
no different in the relevent parts.

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
++++++++ Make sure you don't use my ip numbers
++++++++ or all hell will break loose !
[root@biotest ]# cd /etc/ppp
make options files that look like these :
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS0
131.172.140.47:131.172.140.210
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS4
131.172.140.47:131.172.140.214
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS5
131.172.140.47:131.172.140.215
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS6
131.172.140.47:131.172.140.216
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options.ttyS7
131.172.140.47:131.172.140.217
[root@bctest ppp]# cat options
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.254.0
proxyarp
lock
crtscts
modem
ms-dns 131.172.2.2
ms-wins 131.172.140.1
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
s4:345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS4
s5:345:respawn:/usr/local/sbin/mgetty -D -x2 /dev/ttyS5
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, get them to type in a passwd using the
passwd program while you, as root are logged in (if that suits ...)
