Hi
Now that we can get free Internet evening and weekend access at last here
in the UK (24 hour is coming shortly), I need to get demand dialling
working properly. I have had diald working OK except it is rather more
complex than I need.
I am still using good old RH5.2 (2.0.36 vanilla) and I notice that
the ancient pppd version 2.3.5-1 that comes with this will only demand
dial to a fixed IP number, which I don't have. I don't want to upgrade
yet - I may go RH6.2 or Mandrake 7 - because it needs installation of a
new disk which I haven't room for in the chassis (something always goes
wrong so I always do a fresh install and mount the old system so I can
access it or reboot into it. Once bitten, twice shy.)
So my question is, given the libraries available under RH5.2, is there
either an RPM or a TGZ binary that I can copy or do I have to do a
complete recompile/install? The libraries currently used by pppd are
(from ldd):
/root # ldd /usr/sbin/pppd
libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40004000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4000b000)
libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x4000e000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40012000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4003f000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)
In general, RH6.x versions will I suspect not work.
Any advice please?
John
