Also, to create a user, you have to create a line in both the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files. In /etc/shadow, copy the root line, insert your new user name where root is, then delete the corresponding password. Apparently LEAF needs the additional info on the shadow line or it doesn't "take"

Actually, the instructions for 2.9.4 aren't too far off - I used what I had set up 2.9.4/2.9.8, and copied the ppp.lrp and mgetty.lrp directly to Dachstein. The only real change was using the larger Dachstein kernel that had serial support compiled in. You will probably need to find new modules

You need to backup etc.lrp - that holds the network.conf file. Anytime you make changes to files or create new ones, they must be backed up to the floppy. Good Luck, Jon Dave Sorf wrote: > > Hello, > i have bad question. > I don't know how save and finish configuring files in Oxygen in first t

Hi Charles, Um, my mindset was probably the old "if you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" situation. I have always required a proxy-arp situation, so I hadn't considered separate ppp "hosts". So you can drop the : (lets client specify) and proxyarp, and just get a ppp interface,

At the risk of speaking without a clue as to your actual setup... On an LRP box you can associate the PPP server IPs with the internal masqueraded network, rather than with an external network (still proxyarp). You may need to add a network card to create a fake internal net... Hope this is so
