Hi all,
I posted on this before, but something is not working out for me. Please
help.
What I am trying to do: I would like my box to dial-up on it's own when it
is turned on without my having to log in.
What I have done:
nano -w /etc/init.d/startwvdial
into the file I type in:
wvdial verizon
# (This command works for me when I am logged in to dial up using my verizon
connection.)
update-rc.d startwvdial defaults
This is what happens on bootup:
/etc/init.d/rc: line 30: /etc/rc2.d/S20startwvdial: Permission Denied
I am VERY new to Linux, so please make the instructions as detailed as
possible. I am not opposed to using pppd ether, if that makes things easier.
Too complicated: /etc/network/interfaces can contain:
----------------------
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#the comments with ## were set hvw 10/18/2004
auto ppp0
#iface logical-interface address-family name-of-method
#method ppp uses pon/poff
iface ppp0 inet ppp
pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules
------------------------
and pppd will dial whatever you setup in pppconfig.
I select dialup or not voa boot cmdline.
