Debian dial in server -web access under squeeze

2011-10-26 Thread Peter oliver

trying to create a dial in box from modem to Ethernet (LAN DSL)
using IBM netvista P4 (2.26c 512mb) with external us robotics 56k modem on com2
System is using new Squeeze install (nuked the XP install on the system)- 
command line no gui--
need to connect a windows box using ppp to this server to use one of our extra 
IP address assignments (ISP provider simplybits)

Server box will access the net thru eth0 (apt-get update/install works fine)

windows machine can call and log in, can ping local address on box and access 
its Apache placeholder page
I do not appear to be getting routing, or DNS services - IE explorer times out/ 
incorrect address, cannot ping external ip

Most of the documentation on this is outdated / and or depreciated on doing 
this. (the last time I tried this was in DOS 25 years ago). And was not my idea 
just someone too cheap to buy an ISP service with enough pull at work to 
wrangle me into it.. and have allready spent a couple of days fussing with it.  
 also setting like the /etc/ppp/options file ie MS-DNS,
 
thanks 
Peter

Sounds like you need to make sure that IP forwarding is enabled,
and either do manual routes, or, more likely, masquerading.

Those key words will get you what you want.

Ich muß mich wieder mal korrigieren: an -detach kann es nicht liegen.
Hier funktioniert der Befehl korrekt. -detach dient lediglich dazu, die
pppd Logmeldungen im Terminal zu loggen anstatt sich in der Hintergrund
zu verfrachten.

Versuch doch mal, egal ob jetzt freenet oder dein dial-in Server:

pppd debug call freenet -detach

Auch beim Hinweis mit on signal 2 stimmt meine Aussage IMHO so nicht,
da daß nicht unbedingt der exit status des pppd sein muß. Gr

Ich habe mir die Anleitung nur kurz angeschaut. Soweit ich das sehe,
darf *kein* ipppd mit dem interface ippp0 laufen, sondern ein pppd. Das
ist ein Unterschied.

Das wäre dann der Punkt:
#-
Nach der Konfiguration muss noch der PPP-Daemon
gestartet werden. 
Wichtig: 
#--
Dieses Wichtig erscheint mir ausschlaggebend.

Wenn du nach der Anleitung diesen Punkt (starten des pppd) bist poste
doch mal die Ausgabe von:
ps ax|grep ppp

Auf die Idee mit alten Verbindungen kam ich durch Googlen, wenn dann
z.B. beim Testen versuchte Verbindungen noch offen gewären wesen. Dann
würde die Meldung Sinn machen.

Durch Neustarten des ISDN-Subsystems bzw. killen der ipppd/pppd bzw.
wenn du unsicher bist durch Reboot sollten diese Rest-Verbindungen aber
geschlossen sein.

Wenn du aber IMHO einen ipppd statt/und eines pppd laufen hast wäre die
Meldung auch nachvollziehbar.

Das sind aber leider nur Vermutungen meinerseits, ich kann das Mangels
hisax nicht nachprüfen.

  b) Keine freier B-Kanal zu diesem Zeitpunkt?

 Was versteht man da unter einem freien B-Kanal? Ist das so gemeint das
 einer von den zwei möglichen ISDN Kanälen frei sein sollte? Die waren

Das meinte ich damit, ja.

Den isdn Loglevel höher stellen. Ob das bessere Infos bringt mußt du
sehen. Müßte in der isdn.conf oder in der control-Datei für das
Interface ippp0 zu finden sein. Kann da jemand was zu sagen?

Re: I want to set-up dial-up server

2004-10-28 Thread John Hasler
Use Pppconfig to configure the server for demand dialing and make it the
gateway for all the other machines.  You'll want to configure NAT and a
fire wall.

You may also want to set up Fetchmail to download mail and feed it to Exim
or Postfix for delivery to the local machines, perhaps after virus and spam
filtering.  The server can also be your smarthost for outgoing mail.

Other services to consider are Privoxy or similar for Web proxying and
Leafnode or similar for news.

First things first I guess. You will want to get a working dial up 
connection going right away. Research into setting up an external modem 
and get connected. It's easy after that to set an internal nic to do ip 
forwarding for internal clients.

This stuff is contained in a number of HOWTO's.

Simple approach:
Read the docs installed for apps mentioned below
in /usr/share/doc/package 
I assume that you do not want dial-on-demand.
The stuff below is for analog modems and external ISDN-TA's, you will
need the isdn equivalents for internal ISDN cards (in
/kernel/drivers/isdn; and install ipppd, isdnutils-base, isdn-utils,
etc - I have never used internal ISDN cards ...)

1. Install the modem on the Debian machine and get it working.   
   To do the above run modconf on the Debian machine and ensure
   that, at least, the following are loaded (may be a little
   different with your kernel version ...);  
 in kernel/drivers/net ppp_generic, ppp_async, slhc 
 in kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter ip_tables, iptable_nat, ip_conntrack, 
ipt_LOG, ipt_MASQUERADE (I think that would be it?)   
apt-get install ppp pppconfig 
   Go to http://freshmeat.net/projects/iptables-firewall/?topic_id=151
and grab a copy of Arno's Firewall script. It is well commented and
contains Debian specific references. 

2. Once your modem is working (using pon / poff on the Debian machine) 
   apt-get install linesrv 
Go to either http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~sfuchs/LineControl/
 or http://linecontrol.sourceforge.net/, download the Windows client
 (WLC) and windows docs. This allows Windows clients to open / close
 the connection.
 linesrv contains a Linux client (lcc - console based), there are   
 some GUI ones at the above URL(s).

I think that should do it. If it is not clear, shout.

Have fun.

ISDN Dial-in Server?

2004-10-12 Thread Jan Kesten
Hallo, alle zuammen!

Gibt es irgendwo ein How-To wie man unter Debian (sarge) am besten einen Dial-in 
Server aufbauen kann? Hatte einiges schon bei google gefunden, aber das war immer nur 
fuer SuSE gedacht und mit yast umgesetzt.

Was ich suche ist folgendes: Ich hab einen Rechner mit einer ISDN Karte (AVM Fritz, 
leider passiv) und moechte gerne einem User ermoeglichen sich von aussen einzuwaehlen 
(auch zweien wenns geht). Er soll dann eine IP, das Gateway und den Nameserver von 
meinem Einwahlrechner zugewiesen bekommen, damit er sich dann in dem Netz des 
Einwahlrechners bewegen kann und Zugriff auf die dahinterliegenden Rechner bekommt. 

Wie gesagt, hatte schon gesucht, aber irgendwie keine Erklaerung fuer Debian gefunden..

Schoene Gruesse,
Jan

Aber Zusatzfragen, weil es mehr als einen Ansatz gibt:

a) Welcher Kernel soll/muß verwendet werden (2.4 oder 2.6)?

b) Soll/muß die ISDN-Karte unter CAPI laufen, also z.B. noch

Das ist eigentlich egal, zur Zeit läuft jedoch ein 2.6.7 auf dem

Einwahl-Server alleine reicht vollkommen, ich muss nur von aussen

my Debian laptop to dial up in a pattern lets say ring, hungup ring 
ring hangup, ring ring ring then have my server say eureka thats for me 
then answer be for the answering machine?

I have built dial in servers for office environments in the past with a 
with pppd and adding lines like
S2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS2 -D /dev/ttyS2 to my inittab, But I 
have not found any solutions to adapt this setup for my home use.

Hi all,

I am trying to setup a Dial in server with Debian, basically I want to
be able to dial in and access my network and internet from another location.

I haven't manged to find any good HowTOs/tutorials on this for Debian.

What I have manged is setting up my modem I can dial out, modem is setup
as /dev/ttySHCF0.

I have recompiled mgetty but am still unable to get it to pick up the
incoming call.


thanks in advance.

I have never tried it; but there is DHCP server for Debian.

I'm not sure what you'd accomplish by this that you couldn't easily 
accomplish using different local addresses for each port.  For DNS and

Re: dial-in server

2002-10-09 Thread Joey Quevedo


Hi,

For my dialin server setup problem, i just installed mgetty and ppp. I also
made sure my modem is Linux friendly. There's no problem with that.
Wvdialconf can detect it at ttyS0.

In my /etc/mgetty/login.config, I enabled the /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp
/usr/sbin/ppd auth -chap +pap login -detach

In my /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0, it has entry for the IPs.

I also have /etc/ppp/pap-secrets which I use for authentication.

In the /etc/inittab as suggested, I also have the /sbin/mgetty line.

I also perform #kill -SIGHUP 1 to refresh the init.

Now with my problem:
1. I'm using a W2K dial-up client, it doesn't connect to the dialin server.
Error is port not connected. When I analyse the process, I've noticed
that pppd doesn't fire up automatically as set in the
/etc/mgetty/login.config file (/AutoPPP). This result (for what I think) to
the error message of W2K dialler to port not connected.

Could you please enlighten me about this? How come W2K client cannot
connect to the dialin server? Do I miss something?

Regards,
Joey

Try to connect using HyperTerm, and see whether you could get the login:
prompt. If you could, then the problem is in the PPP settings.

I've tried the HyperTerm and login prompt appears.

What do you have in /etc/ppp/options?
The following is mine:
asyncmap 0
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
debug
proxyarp

How do you set your /etc/ppp/options.ttySn?
It should be local IP: remote IP, in which the local IP is basically
the same with the IP of your NIC, and remote IP is the IP you'd provide
for the client machine; of course, both should be in the same network
number.

I set mine with server IP:client IP. Both in the same network of

In relation with this, can I set the assignment of IPs to be handled
automatically. In my Windows RAS, assignment of IPs for dial-up is
automatically assigned by the DHCP server. Is this possible also in Debian?

You'd need the mgetty package.
To set it up, I think webmin-ppp would be helpful.
But if you'd need only terminal connections, then mgetty would be
sufficient; you need to edit /etc/inittab though:
# Example how to put a getty on a modem line.
#
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 ttyS0 
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 ttyS1

The lines would depend on where your modems are located.
Make sure that you execute telinit q after you edit the inittab file.

there's probably howto on ppp servers..

Re: dial-in server

A few words about modems:

First, the Winmodem term is actually copyrighted and trademarked by
3com/USRobotics.   They at least are honest about labeling their modems as
such.Other makers label them as, Host-based modems, Controllerless
Modems, the most notorious for issues, the chips for them are manufactured
by PCTel, and sold under the name HSP (host signal processor) modems.  These
should be avoided at all costs.   Even zoom manufacturers some.

1 - External modems are almost always hardware modems, the few exceptions
use the USB interface.
2 - If a Modem states it supports DOS it is probably a hardware modem.
However, some winmodem makers have caught on to this little trick and will
says, Supports DOS within the Windows environment, ie it is a winmodem.
3 - Most internal modem makers make both soft/winmodems and hardware
modems.  Generally speaking anything under $45 is a soft modem, anything
45-60 could be a softmodem, and anything over $60 is a hardware modem.
4 - There are 4 parts to a modem, I forget exactly what they are, and a
hardware modem has a chip or chips that peform all 4 functions, software
modems have at least 1 function fulfilled by software.  The partial soft
modems are often the cause of the biggest headaches for people setting them
up under Linux.  They will often do things like dial, but not handshake.
5 - There are some drivers available for softmodems under Linux, but I
have not got them to work as reliable as a hardware modem in any instance I
have tried.

Hope that helps.

the good modems i was referrng to are those that have

- if you do NOT see a uart, stay away from it cause it probably
is a software modem and brings lots of fun with it

2002-06-05 Thread curtis



On Tue, Jun 04, 2002 at 04:29:54PM -0700, curtis wanted to write, but
didn't:


How? The contents of the relevant log file


/var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS0.log


should give a clue. (Apologies if you have looked already)


Having turned on debugging, here is the output of my log file:


[ snip, snip ]

06/04 16:30:46 # data dev=ttyS0, pid=18440, caller='none', 
conn='19200/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', 
user='/AutoPPP/'




OK. So mgetty is quite willing to start up pppd for you. Good.


Authorisation should be done by pppd in your case (I assume that you
don't want people to use mgetty's login prompt). Does mgetty


recognise


dial-in attempts as PPP connections?



[Answering my own question, but wth]: yes


If it does, then you should be able to get more clues by adding




 debug
to /etc/ppp/options.server and study /var/log/syslog (depending on


your


syslogd config). The pppd debug should tell you what is going on.



I'm afraid that the ball is back in your court


Here's all I get relating to pppd in my syslog file.

Mgetty - Dial-in Server - LAN access -- HELP

2002-06-05 Thread curtis
OK, I have gotten mgetty  pppd to permit me to dial in and authenticate 
on my server (see previous posts for further details).


However, an obvious reason why I can access other computers on the LAN 
would seem to be this:


Our network structure is 10.0.0.1-254, netmask 255.255.255.0 (BTW, isn't 
that more simply written 10.0.0.0/24?)


However, upon logging in the client is assigned by pppd 10.0.0.16 (which 
is correct), but the netmask is 255.0.0.0 (although I have a line in the 
options.server for the correct netmask).
Further, the ppp0 listing in ifconfig is: inet addr: 10.0.0.10 (server 
address), P-t-P: 10.0.0.16, Mask 255.255.255.255


why?

Probably not, as mgetty will run as root...

 Maybe mgetty can't assign it an IP due to permissions?

Long answer: IP addresses are assigned by pppd; mgetty merely answers
the phone and starts up pppd. Besides, the TCP/IP layer of the
connection will only be brought up once the two sides have successfully
authenticated each other. If things go wrong before authentification,
then IP addresses are irrelevant.

Short answer: No.

the phone and starts up pppd. Besides, the TCP/IP layer of the
connection will only be brought up once the two sides have successfully
authenticated each other. If things go wrong before authentification,
then IP addresses are irrelevant.

Short answer: No.

Re: Mgetty - Dial-in Server ---- HELP PLEASE!

2002-06-04 Thread Karl E. Jorgensen
Please place answers *below* questions; it makes it easier for other to
read too.

On Tue, Jun 04, 2002 at 04:29:54PM -0700, curtis wanted to write, but didn't:
 
 How? The contents of the relevant log file /var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS0.log
 should give a clue. (Apologies if you have looked already)

 Having turned on debugging, here is the output of my log file:
 
[ snip, snip ]
 06/04 16:30:46 # data dev=ttyS0, pid=18440, caller='none', 
 conn='19200/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', 
 user='/AutoPPP/'

OK. So mgetty is quite willing to start up pppd for you. Good.

 
 
 Authorisation should be done by pppd in your case (I assume that you
 don't want people to use mgetty's login prompt). Does mgetty recognise
 dial-in attempts as PPP connections?

[Answering my own question, but wth]: yes

 
 If it does, then you should be able to get more clues by adding 
debug
 to /etc/ppp/options.server and study /var/log/syslog (depending on your
 syslogd config). The pppd debug should tell you what is going on.

I'm afraid that the ball is back in your court

y lo compare con /etc/passwd, que creo que es con el pap-secrets.

Agradezco toda la ayuda que me puedan dar.

Absolutely.  I do it with my machine at home.

All you have to do now is set up mgetty to let you dial in.  It should
not interfere with the dialout at all.

I'd recommend downloading the mgetty package and going as far as you can
getting that working.  You'll want to use the AutoPPP feature.  

Write back if you have problems.

Do you get a log from mgetty and/or ppp?  Let's see as much logging

I definitely suggest making the shell stuff work first (you could
HyperTerm from Win95, if that's what you're using).  Then, move on to
AutoPPP, Windows Dialup, and telnet.

Dial in server

1999-08-06 Thread David Warnock
Hi,

We want to setup a machine on our lan so I can dial in from home and
gain access to my mail, cvs etc. I will also want to access the internet
in this way (calls from home to office are free, home to internet is
not).

My wife will also want to be able to connect from home but she will be
using Windows 98. She will need to access samba facilities (printer,
network drives) and the internet.

We have a working firewall (running potato) and also a file/app server
(currently slink, will move to potato soon). The firewall has a 64k
permanent link to the internet.

Which packages should I start looking at installing on the dial in
server?

Thanks

mgetty if you use modems, isdn does handle this internally (isdnctrl setting).

How to build a dial-up server?

1999-02-25 Thread Jim Power
I've setup a www server using Apache but I have no idea on how to deal with PPP 
 SLIP connections.
What packages do I need to enable my server to handle PPP connection? And how 
to configure?

Could someone give me some detailed instructions? Telling me where to find 
related online
reference will be appreciated too.

I'm sorry, but I think I don't understand exactly what you want. Do you
want to run a www server over an PPP connection? Do you want to let
users dial into your system using PPP or SLIP? Or do you just want to
connect to the internet using PPP or SLIP? Could you clarify this?

P.S.:
If you mean the last question: just install pppd and pppconfig, run pppconfig,
answer the questions, add your user account to the group dip with 
# adduser yourUserName dip
and dial into the internet with the command 
$ pon

Easy, huh?

Hi Jorge,
I did set up a ppp server just yesterday after A LOT of problems. But now it
is working, yeah.

-= THE GOAL =-

The dialin server has the IP-number 192.168.0.1 in my LAN. Incoming
connections shall get the IP-Number 192.168.0.50. All normal users on 
192.168.0.1 should be allowed to dial in using their passwords. 


-= THE RUN =-

First I installed the usual packages, i.e. pppd and mgetty. 
They have to be configured. Don't change /etc/ppp/options! Put inbound 
options in the options file for your modem port.

My [EMAIL PROTECTED] sits at ttyS0 so I edited /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 
(copied from options.ttyXX) to give the incoming calls the right IP-Number: 

---
# /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0:
# Edit the following line so that the first IP address
# mentioned is the is the IP address of your host while the second
# is the ip address of the serial port
192.168.0.1:192.168.0.50
# DEBUG is good at first
debug
# END options
---


Now comes the critical part:
Win95 prefers PAP so I had to setup the file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
The secrets file in my pppd-package has a bug, I think, which caused
authentification to fail. The right way is this:

---
# /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
# INBOUND connections

# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
# From debian mailing list:
*  * 192.168.0.50
#  ^ this number HAS to be the SAME as in 
#the file options.ttyS0 (IMPORTANT)
# UserIDs that cannot use PPP at all. Check your /etc/passwd and add any
# other accounts that should not be able to use pppd!
guest   fliwatut* -
master  fliwatut* -
rootfliwatut* -
support fliwatut* -
stats   fliwatut* -

# OUTBOUND connections
# your stuff here [...]
---

The last file to check is /etc/mgetty/login.config
The line starting with /AutoPPP/ should be uncommented and read something
like:
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth +pap -chap login -detach 
^ this can also be 'a_ppp' or just an '@'
  and you maybe don't need the -detach option.


-= THE SMOKE TESTS =-

On the client side there should be no further configuration necessary. 
Just make a new dialup connection to your debian machine as described 
in /usr/doc/ppp/win95.ppp

Now watch incoming calls in the following two places:

/var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS0.log
* should show mgetty starting the pppd
  Example: 
[...]
02/08 15:58:40 yS0   tio_set_flow_control( HARD )
02/08 15:58:40 yS0   print welcome banner (/etc/issue)
02/08 15:58:40 yS0   getlogname (FIDO AUTO_PPP), read:~[ff]}#[c0]!
02/08 15:58:42 yS0   input finished with '\r', setting ICRNL ONLCR
02/08 15:58:42 yS0   tio_get_rs232_lines: status: RTS CTS DSR DTR DCD

02/08 15:58:42 yS0   match: user='/AutoPPP/', key=''
02/08 15:58:42 yS0   match: user='/AutoPPP/', key='/AutoPPP/'*** hit!
02/08 15:58:42 yS0   calling login: cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', argv[]='pppd auth 
+pap -chap login -detach'
02/08 15:58:42 # data dev=ttyS0, pid=1063, caller='none', 
conn='33600/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/
usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/'
[...]

/var/log/ppp.log 
* shows the gory details of two pppds talking to each other, checking 
  passwords and negotiating IP adresses.

One last tip: 
If you can do, then try dialing into the debian machine from another debian
or linux system. You will get a lot more debuging info this way.

Hope this helps. Happy dialing,

net-acct and a ppp dial-in server

1997-05-19 Thread John Foster
Hi,

I've been trying to get nacctd to work with a dial-in server.

To get traffic figures per user I need to create lookup files in
/var/run, each one is named with the remote IP and contains the
username of whoever is using that address.

pppd will delete the files after the user has logged off, that's easy,
as ppp has a setting for a command to run on disconnection.

It's creating the files that's driving me crazy.

I tried this script from mgetty instaed of just the call 
to pppd:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login defaultroute proxyarp
whereisuser=`w | grep $1 | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2 `
addressuser=`grep $whereisuser /etc/hosts | expand | tr -s ' ' | \ 
cut -d ' ' -f 1`
echo $1  /var/run/$addressuser

and the clients can dial-in OK, but the latter part (from wherisuser
on) doesn't get run until the client logs out (ie after pppd dies), so
the greps fail and no file is written. Before the pppd there is no way
of telling who the user is ( Just AutoPPP!).

I need to know how much traffic each user is generating, as I suspect
that some are setting up servers at home that are just a bit illegal
here in sunny Queensland (come to Queensland and turn the clock back
25 years!). 

Surely someone somewhere has got nacctd working with mgetty and ppp
for dynamic IP.

Any suggestions at all are welcome, as I'm starting to really hate
this machine!

/var/run, each one is named with the remote IP and contains the

Unless the code has been patched I wouldn't bother with this.  We went and
set all this up quite a while ago (as far as I know nothing has been added
to this program for *well* over a year though I haven't looked recently)
and found that the code in nacctd was buggy.

I didn't seem to update the mapping between users and the dynamic IP number
so it became all but useless.  If you give out static IP#'s it *should*
work okay but I'm not positive.

You should be able to do everything you want (ie. monitor per user volume)
with ipfwadm installed in the kernel though I'm not sure exactly how.

yes, that is normal behaviour - pppd is being run in the foreground
(with control of the tty) in this situation, so the remainder of the
script doesn't execute until pppd exits.

That's how it's supposed to be, so don't waste any time trying to get pppd
to run in the background.

One of pppd's features is the ability to run a script when a link is
established and another when it is terminated. These are the 'ip-up' and
'ip-down' scripts, and they reside in the /etc/ppp directory.

you need to edit your /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ip-down scripts. the
documentation for net-acct tells how to do it for slip logins...it's not
very difficult to apply the same principles for ppp.

try adding something like:

/usr/bin/whoami /var/run/$5

to /etc/ppp/ip-up, and add:

rm /var/run/$5

to /etc/ppp/ip-down

this is the bare minimum you need to get it working.  

NOTE: these changes are untestedhowever, from my understanding of
the docs, they should work.
