Subject: kppp unusable for various reasons
Package: kppp
Version: 4:3.1.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: sid
Hello,
I've tried to use kppp today and I was unable to get it working.
The first problem I had was a permission problem.
I'm part of group dip and kppp and pppd have the following permissions:
ls -l /usr/bin/kppp
-rwxr-sr-- 1 root dip 480696 2003-05-26 07:26
/usr/bin/kppp
ls -l /usr/sbin/pppd
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root dip 234504 2002-11-24 12:58
/usr/sbin/pppd
which is correct.
Unfortunately, kppp was unable to talk to the modem (ttyS0, external
modem), probably
because of permissions:
delphine:/etc/devfs# ls -l /dev/ttyS0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5 2003-07-29 10:21 /dev/ttyS0
-> tts/0
delphine:/etc/devfs# ls -l /dev/tts/0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 2003-07-29 12:44
/dev/tts/0
As you see here, /dev/tts/0 is part of dialout. Not dip. So I need to
either add me
to the dialout group, or either change the group of /dev/tts/* in
/etc/devfs/perms
and reload devfsd.
After that kppp was able to talk with the modem and dial normally.
The underlying question is why two groups (dip and dialout) for modem
usability ?
Another question is that if kppp has the suid bit set, it should be able
to become root and open the /dev/ttyS0 normally. Strange.
The second problem is when it start pppd. Immediately after starting it,
the pppd
daemon exits with status 2:
extracted from 'man pppd'
2 An error was detected in processing the options given, such as
two mutually
exclusive options being used.
So it seems that kppp is starting pppd with a set of option that is
incorrect.
What seems amazing for me (I'm a long user of kppp) is the 'version of
pppd' field in
the configuration box: it is set to "unknown". The last time I could use
kppp it was
set to 2.4.0 or something like this.
This field is not writable by the user, as I think it is compile-time
option.
The other hypothesis would be that kppp could not even start pppd and
displays error
2; meaning 'No such file or directory'. There is no trace of pppd start
in
/var/log/messages.
It seems kppp is mostly unusable now. Fortunately wvdial works
perfectly, meaning
that my machine is not broken for other reasons.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Simon

Closes: 126406 203318 285883
Changes:
kdenetwork (4:3.3.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
+++ Changes by Christopher Martin:
.
* KDE_3_3_BRANCH update.
.
* Fix kopete's irc.protocol alternative to only be removed when
the package is removed - should avoid unnecessary resets of
the sysadmin's preferences.
.
* Fix debian/copyright to refer to License rather than to Copyright
when discussing KDE's licenses.
.
+++ Changes by Isaac Clerencia:
.
* Added myself to uploaders
.
kdenetwork (4:3.3.2-0pre1) experimental; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release.
.
* KDE_3_3_BRANCH update.
.
* debian/control:
- removed build-dependency on automake1.9.
.
* debian/patches:
- dropped 11_kget.diff, fix included upstream.
- added 11_kpf-non-ascii-too.diff, to make kpf produce valid links to
files with non-ascii chars. (Trivial) Patch backported from CVS HEAD.
(Closes: #285883)
.
+++ Changes by Christopher Martin:
.
* kppp overhaul: replace utterly broken 10_pppdargs.diff patch
with 10_kppp_options.diff. kppp now SUID. To connect with kppp,
users must now uncomment #noauth in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options,
and be part of the dip group. No editing of ppp config files,
pap/chap-secrets, etc. required. Updated the kppp
README.Debian to explain these changes and their security
implications. (Closes: #126406, #203318)
