Hi,

I'm having trouble setting up pppd on redhat 6.1
I've created the configuration files:

I edited/created all these files:

1) /etc/resolv.conf
2) /etc/ppp/options
3) /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
4) /usr/sbin/ppp-on
5) /usr/sbin/ppp-off


When I had written all the files, and the ppp-off script, I typed:

# cd /usr/sbin
# chmod a=rwx ppp-on

To set correct file permissions for other users.

Then I logged in with another console, and I type:

# tail -f /var/log/messages

To constantly display whats going on.

Then in the first console I type:

# ppp-on


I change to the other console, and after a second, it displays this:

modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108
pppd[633]: pppd 2.3.10 started by root, uid 0
chat[634]: send (0845-blah-blah^M)
chat[634]: expect (CONNECT)
chat[634]: alarm
chat[634]: failed
pppd[633]: Connection script failed
pppd[633]: Exit.

:(

can anyone help??
