PPP - sh: /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer: Permission denied HELP!

Post by s » Sat, 04 Jul 1998 04:00:00



I can manually set up a PPP connection by following the PPP-HOWTO, but
when I try to run the automated scripts I get this permission denied
error.  The scripts are all chmod'ed 777, and I'm running them as
root.  In /var/log/messages, pppd says that the chatscript
(ppp-on-dialer) failed.

Here's my ppp-on script:
#!/bin/sh
TELEPHONE=XXX-XXXX      # Left out number for posting
ACCOUNT=XXXXX                # Left out account name for posting
PASSWORD=XXXXX            #Left out password for posting
LOCAL_IP=0.0.0.0                
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0    
NETMASK=255.255.255.0  
export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD
DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/chatscript
exec /usr/sbin/pppd -d -detach lock modem crtscts /dev/ttyS3 38400 \
        asyncmap 20A0000 escape FF kdebug 0 $LOCAL_IP:$REMOTE_IP \
        noipdefault netmask $NETMASK connect $DIALER_SCRIPT

Here is my ppp-on-dialer script:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/chat -v                                  \
        TIMEOUT         6                               \
        ABORT           '\nBUSY\r'                      \
        ABORT           '\nNO ANSWER\r'                 \
        ABORT           '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r'    \
        ''              \rATZ                           \
        'OK-+++\c-OK'   ATH0                            \
        TIMEOUT         30                              \
        OK              ATDT$TELEPHONE                  \
        CONNECT         ''                              \
        ogin:--ogin:    $ACCOUNT                        \
        assword:        $PASSWORD                       \
        >               ppp  

I run ppp-on and then almost immeadiately it gives me the permission
denied error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you sure your are running your script and not some other ppp-on
script which may be residing in your path. Try "./ppp-on" in the
directory you have your script.

 Which shell do you use? The scripts are for bash and dont work in a
tcsh, for example. They look different for csh's.

Steve,
Another idea: do you have write permission for the directory that the
chat script will create the file "ppp" in?

1. Ask ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer for ppp connection

hi,
   After 4 housrs trying to make ppp connection, I believe I fail on
   "chat" program.

   I got slackware96 kernel 2.0.0 and pppd-2.2, ppppd-2.1, pppd, ppp-on
   ppp-off in my /usr/sbin directory, also in my /etc/ppp directory,
   there are "options" and "ppp-on-dialer" there.

   I change the phone number, login process in those files to fit my
   situation, and use the "pppd-2.2" in the ppp-on script.

   Login as root, /dev/cua1 as my modem line, then make ppp-on script
   to run in the background.

   THe modem light is on, but it did not dial and ppp-on exit after
   a while. I check the /var/log/message, I found the following:

   OCT 12 ,120, ....  : ppp connect --> /dev/cua1
   ...............chat: expect ('')
   ...............chat: alarm
   ...

   The modem is setup correctly according HOWTO ppp, I just wonder is
   anyone can send me the those 3 scripts, and which version pppd
   I should use with slackware96 ?

   Any help is appreciated.
