didn't:
How? The contents of the relevant log file
/var/log/mgetty/mg_ttyS0.log
should give a clue. (Apologies if you have looked already)
Having turned on debugging, here is the output of my log file:
[ snip, snip ]
06/04 16:30:46 ##### data dev=ttyS0, pid=18440, caller='none',
conn='19200/ARQ/V34/LAPM/V42BIS', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd',
user='/AutoPPP/'
OK. So mgetty is quite willing to start up pppd for you. Good.
Authorisation should be done by pppd in your case (I assume that you
don't want people to use mgetty's login prompt). Does mgetty
recognise
dial-in attempts as PPP connections?
[Answering my own question, but wth]: yes
If it does, then you should be able to get more clues by adding
debug
to /etc/ppp/options.server and study /var/log/syslog (depending on
your
syslogd config). The pppd debug should tell you what is going on.
I'm afraid that the ball is back in your court....
