-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of George Yobst Sent: Saturday, March 27, 1999 12:56 AM To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: George Yobst Subject: Kernel pppd Hi all, I'd like to hang 2 modems off my FBSD box (that's already on the net & running 3.1-Release) so that I can dial-up to it from home (W95). I tried to configure pppd and looked at the Pedantic PPP docs, but it seems written for dial-out. It looks like it's dialing up, the modem answers so I get a connection, but then it won't go further. Right now, the log messages are: Mar 26 14:43:48 lincc pppd[1180]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyd0 Mar 26 14:44:18 lincc pppd[1180]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Mar 26 14:44:18 lincc pppd[1180]: Connection terminated, connected for 1 minutes Mar 26 14:44:19 lincc pppd[1181]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 I've changed so many parameters, that I'm just chasing my tail. Does anybody have multiple modems on their machine doing 'kernel ppp' care to share their configs in /etc/ppp - also pertinent parts of /etc/passwd & ttys would be greatly appreciated. Anything special on the W95 sw need to change? I got it working GREAT using the pap-secrets file BUT I'm battling to get it to work using the BSD password database. My setting are; 1. Make a file called /etc/ppp/server_options containing the following; /dev/cuaa0 115200 #whatever port your modems on crtscts modem connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc -f /etc/ppp/dialin" passive <Your Servers IP Here>:<Your Windows 95 IP Here> netmask 255.255.255.0 auth proxyarp ms-dns <Your Primary DNS Here> ms-dns <Your Secondary DNS Here> require-pap 2. Make a file called /etc/ppp/dialin containing the following; "" AT&C1&D3&K3&Q6S0=1&W OK ATZ OK #or whatever sets your modem to answer 3. Make a file called /etc/ppp/pap-secrets using this format; <username><tab><FQDN of Server><tab><password><tab>* george buggy.Foo.com abracadabra * 4. Make sure the pap-secrets file is read write only by root <chmod 600> 5. Use the following at the command line OR in you start up scripts; pppd file /etc/ppp/server_options I DID NOT Modify my tttys,rc.serial or any of the other files and I DID NOT use getty or any of the other stuff you see in numerous posts. While I'm sure I might not be 100% correct, I notice no other posts in helping you with your problem,and this worked great for win95 clients for me, and was very simple to set up. What I couldn't get to work was the use of the BSD boxes password database, If you add the <login> option to your options( server_options ) file AND then leave the password blank in your pap-secrets file it's supposed to use the normal BSD password database. But for the life of me I couldn't get this to work. The reason I'm using a file called server_options is that I presume your already running pppd for your other connection to the net. So you wouldn't want it to use the same options file as that connection uses, hence the pppd <file> statement instructs pppd to use a DIFFERENT options file for this connection.
