[SLUG] pppd problems with mgetty

2001-02-04 Thread Richard Pang

Hi All,

I'm having problems with getting mgetty1.1.20 to connect a ppp connection.
I've done the following

i) Compiled with the line CFLAGS=-02 -Wall -pipe -DAUTO_PPP" in the Makefile
to enable PPP.
ii) Included the line "/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd auth login +pap -chap
/dev/ttyS1 crtscts proxyarp lock" in the login.config file
iii) Run the command "mgetty -D -a /dev/ttyS1"

In the log file I get the error "yS1  can't get group 'modem': No such file
or directory" and mgetty sends the modem to /bin/login rather than pppd.

Any ideas?

cheers,
Richard Pang

So, do you have a 'modem' group?

 iii) Run the command "mgetty -D -a /dev/ttyS1"

Dont use '-a' (autobaud), unless maybe if your modem is a museum piece.
