Hello Debianites,
I am struggling to get the AutoPPP feature of mgetty to work.
I want to connect two Debian Maschines running (mostly) Hamm.
In /etc/mgetty/login.config of the PPP-Server maschine I have tested
the following lines by uncommenting each in turn:
#/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login
#/AutoPPP/ - @ /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap -pap login
/AutoPPP/ - @ /usr/sbin/pppd auth login +pap -chap modem crtscts proxya
rp lock
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets is set up to include:
# Every regular user can use PPP and has to use passwords from /etc/passwd
# Tested both:
#* fliwatut ""
* 192.168.0.1 "" *
And the options file for the modem is /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 includes:
# local-ip:remote-ip
#fliwatut.scifi.com:fliwatut.scifi.com-s0
198.162.0.1:198.162.0.50
to give the incoming connection an IP number
THE PROBLEM:
I tested this with a user called "eric" with password "secret" (just
kidding, in fact it was another PW). He called me (HOST: fliwatut) from
his debian maschine and mgetty took the call. His setup was done with
"pppconfig" and uses a simple PAP-authentification.
But a ppp connection could not be made. The reason showed in the ppp.log
file like this:
Feb 4 14:39:20 fliwatut pppd[1483]: pppd 2.3.5 started by /AutoPPP/, uid 0

Feb 4 14:39:23 fliwatut pppd[1483]: Hangup (SIGHUP)

The accompanying mgetty logfile has:

02/04 14:39:20 yS0 setenv: 'CONNECT=33600/LAPM/V42BIS'
Obviously pppd got started but athentification failed. I even added user
"eric" to group dip and dialout, just in case.
But what now? Did anybody here successfully set up a ppp server with
mgetty? Any tips where to look for mistakes?
Thank you very much in advance,
