Howdy,
I'm trying to set up a PPP server (this is an extension of my earlier queries on how
to log in with mgetty)
So far everything is doing pretty good, I've read most of the PPP-HOWTO, I'm using
wvdial (as the HOWTO recommends) and getting as far as authenticating, however it
fails when the PPP server tries to start. After looking in the log files I'm afraid I
haven't got something right with the IPs. I'm connecting two boxes (the client is on a
LAN connected to the Internet, the server is atm, but won't be once it's moved to it's
real home), with the goal of getting a TCP/IP connection (we aren't trying to proxy or
masquerade out to the Internet right now) between the two.
I'm a little confused by the following line in the PPP-HOWTO:
"The 'proxyarp' option sets up (surprise!) a proxy ARP entry in the PPP server's ARP
table. It basically says "send all
packets destined for the PPP client to me". This is the easiest way to set up routing
to a single PPP client. You cannot,
however, use this if you are routing between two LANs. You must add proper network
routes that can't use proxy ARP."
Could someone explain that?
The options set in the server's /etc/ppp/options file are:
debug
crtscts
lock
modem
asyncmap 0
netmask 255.255.255.0
Log file entries follow
Here's the client's /var/log/messages:
Jan 8 20:28:09 garnet kernel: tty_io.c: process 23505 (statserial) used obsolete

Jan 8 20:49:30 garnet exiting on signal 15
However I do not think it's the client's problem. I must say I have no idea why the
mgetty on garnet (client) is doing anything while I'm dialing /out/. Is that normal?
Here's the tailing end (failing end) of the client's wvdial output:
CONNECT 115200
