Hello : User-land ppp of 2.2.5-Release is broken and can not work with mgetty. fetch a newer version. TfH > I have a FreeBSD 2.2.5 system attached to a 28.8 Multitech modem. I'm using > this modem to both connect to my ISP, and I've also set it up to allow > other people to dial into my FBSd system to send and receive mail. I have 2 > problems: > > 1. I'm using mgetty to take incoming calls. So far so good. A user dials > in, but then they cannot connect using PPP directly. The remote user is > using windows 95. I worked around that by opening a post-dial terminal > screen in win 95 and making the user type their username and password, and > giving them a login shell like this: > > #!/bin/sh > exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct PAPServer > > This works fine. However, I had understood that with mgetty one could use > PAP with passwdauth set in the ppp config. I made sure that the /AutoPPP/ > section in mgetty's login.conf was set correctly. Any ideas? > > 2. This is a more serious problem: After one user has dialled-into my FBSD > machine, when they disconnect from their end, the modem on my end does not > hang-up. The carrier detect stays on all the time, and if I do a ps ax, I > see the ppp -direct process still running. I have to kill the ppp process > and then only does the modem hang-up.
