Hello-
one thing you may need is to do is enable ip forwarding. I don't know if
that will help with the problem that you are currently having but, it may
help you down the road.
good luck,
brian

Subject: Mgetty - Dial-in Server ---- HELP
Debian 3.0
Kernel 2.4.18
mgetty 1.1.27-4.1
Trying to set up a dial-in server. I made the following changes:
Modem is installed on /dev/ttyS0
/etc/initab
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyS0 -D /dev/ttyS0
/etc/ppp/options.server
auth -chap +pap
modem
crtscts
login
netmask 255.255.255.0
proxyarp
lock
-detach
ms-dns xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
* * "" *
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0
10.0.0.10:10.0.0.16
(Server IP Address:Port IP Address)
/etc/mgetty/login.config
/AutoPPP/ - - /usr/sbin/pppd file /etc/ppp/options.server
Regardless, no user on the server can connect. I have discovered that
it never gets to the point of authorization.
Could the problem have to do with permissions to the port? Mgetty can't
assign it an IP due to permissions?
Thanks
