PPP Server with PAP + Mgetty
Frédérick Coutret
I try de set up my linux box ( mandrake 6.0) to use it as a PPP server
and to connect from W 95
I configure PPP with PAP Auth and Mgetty but I always have a auth error.
Here are the files i used
/etc/passwd :
ppp:x:102:102:PPP client login:/home/ppp:/usr/sbin/pppd
/home/ppp/.ppprc
lock
:192.168.1.2
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
# Secrets for authentication using PAP
# client server secret IP addresses
* * "" *
/etc/mgetty+sendfax/mgetty.config
port ttyS0
speed 115200
debug 8
init-chat "" AT&F1&C1E0 OK ATQ0&K3&D2S0=0 OK
statistics-file /tmp/statistics.2864
modem-type data
/etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config
/AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login modem debug
crtscts
When i try to connect from W95, i always have the same error :
/var/log/messages
Dec 2 19:42:19 localhost pppd[936]: pppd 2.3.7 started by root, uid 0
Dec 2 19:42:19 localhost pppd[936]: Using interface ppp0
Dec 2 19:42:19 localhost pppd[936]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Dec 2 19:42:22 localhost pppd[936]: PAP login failure for ppp
Dec 2 19:42:22 localhost pppd[936]: Connection terminated.
Dec 2 19:42:22 localhost pppd[936]: Connect time 0.1 minutes.
Dec 2 19:42:22 localhost pppd[936]: Exit.
But the user's passwd is OK
When i try to connect with another user which has shell access, it's OK
I think it comes from my PPP or PAP config.
I tried to compile mgetty with DAUTO_PPP option.
I add the detach option to pppd in /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config
Can u help me ?
Thanks

Is this the user? Are you sure that the shadow option is in your pppd?
Are you sure you have a password in the shadow file?
]/home/ppp/.ppprc
]lock
]:192.168.1.2
]/etc/ppp/pap-secrets

Try putting the user name as the first entry instead of *.

You have not switched on debugging.
daemon.* /var/log/messages
in /etc/syslog.conf
and then do
killall -1 syslogd
Also get a newer version of ppp. 2.3.7 was a bit buggy.

Some ppp-daemons have bug which not allows you to have empty passwords
Try to use this info...
