Greetings, I have setup a computer to be a dialin server, which works ok when I dial in from a windows host, but I can't seem to get my linux box to connect.
I have setup the dialin server as shown at: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=88137&highlight=mgetty+autoppp The mgetty log on the server shows what happens when the windows hosts conencts: 11/21 14:18:19 yS0 wfr: waiting for ``RING'' 11/21 14:18:20 yS0 send: ATA[0d] 11/21 14:18:20 yS0 waiting for ``CONNECT'' ** found ** 11/21 14:18:33 yS0 send: 11/21 14:18:33 yS0 waiting for ``_'' ** found ** 11/21 14:18:35 ##### data dev=ttyS0, pid=2514, caller='none', conn='38400/31200 LAP-M', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/' But when the linux host attempts to connect (where XXXX blanks my username): 11/22 07:10:54 yS0 checking if modem is still alive 11/22 07:10:54 yS0 mdm_send: 'AT' -> OK 11/22 07:10:54 yS0 waiting... 11/22 07:59:39 yS0 wfr: waiting for ``RING'' 11/22 07:59:39 yS0 send: ATA[0d] 11/22 07:59:39 yS0 waiting for ``CONNECT'' ** found ** 11/22 07:59:53 yS0 send: 11/22 07:59:53 yS0 waiting for ``_'' ** found ** 11/22 07:59:54 ##### data dev=ttyS0, pid=5927, caller='none', conn='38400/31200 LAP-M', name='', cmd='/bin/login', user='XXXXX' I'm no expert but it looks to me as though when the linux host is connecting /bin/login is executed instaed of pppd. I am not sure how to fix this though. I am using wvdial to connect (because it is needed by rdial: www-jcsu.jesus.cam.ac.uk/~acw43/rdial/rdial.shtml) Both hosts use the same username and password. /etc/options.server looks like: debug asyncmap 0 modem crtscts lock require-pap refuse-chap vj-max-slots 16 predictor1 deflate 15,15 bsdcomp 15,15 login proxyarp ms-dns 192.168.0.1 ms-dns 202.154.83.53 192.168.0.8:192.168.0.10 /etc/mgetty*/login.config look like: /AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server * - - /bin/login @ Any suggestions are appreciated, Kadmos -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
