I *just* installed RH 5.2 and gnome-linuxconf looks awesome. My ethernet network is configured. Now I want to put in a modem.... This is my first time setting up a dial-in PPP acount. I added a modem and editted my inittab: # /etc/inittab # Dial In Modems cua3:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS3 38400 I can now dial into my server and get a login prompt and login in under a normal shell account. No problem. Next, I went into linuxconf and added a PPP user. Linuxconf wrote this to /etc/passwd: yuenlo:x:501:230:Yuenlo is Jackie Chan:/home/yuenlo:/usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/ppplogin I'm using Windows 95 Dial Up Networking to establish a PPP connection. It fails. I see that /usr/sbin/pppd needs to be suid to root so I # chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd # ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 106876 Jun 8 1998 /usr/sbin/pppd I dial in again and it fails - can't establish a compatible set of protocols. This is what was put in the messages file: Dec 22 14:00:56 yuenlo mgetty[242]: data dev=ttyS3, pid=242, caller='none', conn ='38400', name='', cmd='/bin/login', user='yuenlo' Dec 22 14:00:59 yuenlo PAM_pwdb[242]: (login) session opened for user yuenlo by (uid=0) Dec 22 14:00:59 yuenlo login[242]: DIALUP AT ttyS3 BY yuenlo Dec 22 14:00:59 yuenlo login[242]: LOGIN ON ttyS3 BY yuenlo Dec 22 14:00:59 yuenlo PAM_pwdb[242]: (login) session closed for user yuenlo Dec 22 14:01:00 yuenlo kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the Univers ity of California Dec 22 14:01:00 yuenlo kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) Dec 22 14:01:00 yuenlo kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 199 5 Caldera, Inc.

I've tried deselecting software compression in Windows, IP header compression, etc. but no luck. It's wierd because I *can* dial into my ISP's modem and they give me a PPP session without problem. Any ideas? Thanks! -Eric Wood --- You are currently subscribed to linuxconf as: [[email protected]] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
