Dial-in PPP connection to Shiva Lanrover server from Linux

by Jozef Dodzi » Fri, 06 Sep 1996 04:00:00

I have not been able to establish such a connection. The server asks for
my userid and password and the replies with "shell access denied".

How do I tell it to start ppp?

Will appreciate any help!

1. Accessing Shiva Lanrover from Linux using PPP and Dial Back

Our company has implemented a system for dial in/dial back
access to the Local Area Network. This is done with a Shiva
Lanrover and the protocol chosen is PPP.

Now everybody should be happy since Linux is able to dial in
connect with ppp to remote servers or allow users to dial in
and connect to the Linux box with PPP.

But unfortunately the Linux PPP implementation does not
support the Dial Back implementation used by Shiva. I
believe this autentification protocol is called Shiva PAP or
SPAP for short.

This protocol is implementet by shiva in dials clients for
MacOS and Windows 3.1. With Windows95 the Shiva TCPIP stack
and dialer is an integrated part of the product. So for
these platforms there is no problem.

But what about my Linux box ?

Does anyone here know about support for SPAP in any ppp
implementation for Linux ?

I sincerely detest the idea that I should boot my machine in
Windows to acces the company net. So I hope someone out
there is able to help me.
