Hi Everyone, I`m having problems with a PPP dialin server running Redhat 7.2, totally fresh install - out a the box.
Firstly, I`m not a linux sysadmin expert - so please be gentle Secondly, I`ve followed almost all the How-to stuff on the net with marginal success? Thirdly, I`m using an external Aopen 56k modem (stock standard thing) The Linux machine picks up the line after I dial it using Win2k Pro, they have a chat and eventually it seems like the linux box drops the line first and Win2k sais Authentication error. Upon opening a terminal after dialing in I get the Redhat 7.2 Greeting in plain text, requesting a logon. I logon to the machine via the terminal, and can then manualy invoke pppd with an alias I setup in bashrc. I then get the "normal" ppp gobbldy gook but don`t know what to do then?????? My problem I believe is this: mgetty is not using it`s AutoPPP feature when I try to login??? Maybe I`m not even getting logged in??? (as win2k pro sais) Does anyone think they can help me out with a quick fix? Possibly config files that is working for you NOW on a similar release? I`ve used so many different methods to do this but they all seem to render similar results, or sometimes none at all. Scrambling!
