PPP-server using Linux 1.2.13

PPP-server using Linux 1.2.13

Post by Van Schaik Willem Anthon Joha » Sun, 23 Mar 1997 04:00:00



Hi there,

I'm working on setting up a Linux based PPP server, to enable people
to dial-in and have access to the net. I'm using Linux 1.2.13 / Redhat
3.0.3 (Rembrandt). I see after login in the ppp account and after
starting pppd an AT on the next line and not a continuous (unreadable)
byteflow, as I think should be normal.

My /var/log/messages shows:
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 login: DIALUP ttyS1, ppp
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 pppd[27069]: pppd 2.1.2 started by ppp, uid 506
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 kernel: ppp: channel ppp0 mtu = 1500, mru = 1500
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 kernel: ppp: channel ppp0 open
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 kernel: ppp: channel ppp0 closing.
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 pppd[27069]: ioctl(PPPIOCSINPSIG): Operation not permitted
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 pppd[27069]: ioctl(PPPIOCGDEBUG): Operation not permitted
Mar 22 23:52:56 mht3 pppd[27069]: Exit.

So for me it looks that the kernel has ppp compiled in, and that pppd does
start up. But what are those ioctl problems?

Who recognizes this (probably from his/her own wrestling) and can shine
some light on it.

Thanks for your help,
Willem

This means you have a modem chat connect script specified in the ppp options.
Obviously you don't want this on a server.

As far as I rememember, it's because pppd does not have permissions to
switch the modem to IP traffic.
You must grant the PPP user access to the modem by, for instance,
chown'ing the /dev/modem (or whatever :-) to group modem, and make
the user account which you use to log PPP in with, a member of the
same group.

Believe me, I had a *LOT* of 'fun' trying to figure the same thing
out!

1. strange problems 1.2.13 --> 2.0.0 --> 1.2.13

Hi,

I have some strange problems with the new kernel source tree...

after the installation of the new sysvinit-2.62 the linux-2.0.0 kernel
complains sh:/bin/bash cannot execute...
with 1.99.7 this works fine
and at least I'm totally unable to recompile the 1.2.13 source tree due
some strange asm errors in main occurring in asm/io.h referenced by
bugs.h  (also within the asm tree). Of course I checked the appropriate
links to for the linux source tree /usr/include/linux
                                                asm

Please help....
 Michael
