Mgetty and AutoPPP!

[kj6eo]

:confused: Hello -

I am trying to set up a dial-in ppp server. I am running RedHat 7.2 with a 2.4.7-10 kernel. I have compiled and installed ppp-2.4.1-2 and mgetty-1.1.28. Mgetty with compiled with the auto ppp option "CFLAGS=-02 -Wall -pipe -DAUTO_PPP and the corresponding line to enable AUTO PPP was edited:

/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/ppd file /etc/ppp/options.server

The problem is that Mgetty totally ignores the above instructions to read the options.server file and reads by default the options file. The instructions on how to get the server going are quite simple by mine doesn't work. Can somebody tell me what I am missing here?

Regards,

Bill KJ6EO

not sure what you mean about auto-ppp
what i know about this is nothing !!!!!!!!
possibly this will help:
mgetty controlls the connection
/etc/mgetty/dialin.config
/etc/mgetty/login.config controlls starting pppd service and authentication
/etc/mgetty/mgetty.config

add mgetty to /etc/inittab
this happens automatically yes ??????
has to be set to respawn

to enable windows machines to dialin
add dns to /ect/ppp/options
modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
to use etc/passwd

sorry i can't actually answer your question
