well, i got everything up and running with one minor hitch... i cannot get it to authenticate with a user that i create manually. if i allow root to login on ttys0, then i can dialin with the root username and password, and it will dialin fine, but the internet will still not work. the ip address is being properly assigned, as is evidence by the syslog entry:
Jun 27 14:05:21 firewall pppd[1739]: pppd 2.4.1 started by mike, uid 99 Jun 27 14:05:21 firewall pppd[1739]: using channel 1 Jun 27 14:05:21 firewall pppd[1739]: Using interface ppp0 Jun 27 14:05:21 firewall pppd[1739]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0 Jun 27 14:05:24 firewall pppd[1739]: user root logged in Jun 27 14:05:24 firewall pppd[1739]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp Jun 27 14:05:24 firewall pppd[1739]: local IP address 192.0.1.7 Jun 27 14:05:24 firewall pppd[1739]: remote IP address 192.0.1.60 after dialing in and authenticating, if i bring up a command prompt and ping an external (internet) ip, i get the following: "reply from 192.0.1.7: destination port unreachable" 192.0.1.7 being the LRP's IP address. in /var/log/syslog, i get the following message (repeated a few hundred times) (note: 65.121.99.12 is a dns server for the external interface on the lrp): Jun 27 14:06:02 firewall kernel: Shorewall:all2all:REJECT:IN=ppp0 OUT=eth1 SRC=192.0.1.60 DST=65.121.99.12 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=127 ID=65 PROTO=ICMP TYPE=8 CODE=0 ID=1536 SEQ=512 now since 192.0.1.x is my internal network, there shouldn't be any issues of proper masqing since i assign the dialin client a 192.0.1.x number, correct? or are there additional parameters required to masq the ppp0 interface? one more caveat that i remembered while i was configuring the LRP for PPP was that i had no /var/lib/dialer directory, as the directions state: /var/lib/dialer/dialer.conf: Change LEASE to YES /var/lib/dialer/ppp-on: I commented out everything from "cat" on - prevents use of multiple lines where do i change these variables in bering? thank you for the continued help. -matt russell ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
