Hello all,
I am trying to set up PPP 2.1.2d on Red Hat Linux Picasso
(release 3.0.3) and have had enormous difficulty
establishing a connection with the daemon. First, a little
background... I set up an account on the machine for the ppp
login (username ppp) and, as was suggested in the
instructions, I created a shell script /etc/ppp/ppplogin
that serves as the login shell for the account. Contained
in that shell is the following:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/pppd passive
There is an /etc/ppp/options file that contains the
following:
-detatch
modem
crtscts
proxyarp
defaultroute
lock
PPP has been properly installed as far as the kernel goes as
evidenced by /proc/net/dev:
Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |packets errs drop fifo frame|packets errs drop fifo colls carrier
lo: 0 0 0 0 0 51 0 0 0 0 0
dummy: No statistics available.
ppp0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
ppp1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

plip1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
eth0: 1009 0 0 0 0 59 0 0 0 1 0
BUT the system logs show this kind of activity when the
"client" dials up and tries to make a connection:
Jul 10 19:15:28 ppp login: DIALUP ttyS0, ppp
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp pppd[233]: pppd 2.1.2 started by ppp, uid 502
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp kernel: ppp: channel ppp0 mtu = 1500, mru = 1500
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp kernel: ppp: channel ppp0 open
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp kernel: ppp: channel ppp0 going down for IP packets!
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp kernel: ppp: channel ppp0 closing.
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp pppd[233]: ioctl(PPPIOCSINPSIG): Operation not permitted
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp pppd[233]: ioctl(PPPIOCGDEBUG): Operation not permitted
Jul 10 19:15:29 ppp pppd[233]: Exit.
As you may notice, this dial up session (and all the others
I have tried for that matter) last less than a second before
ppp closes the connection. I am particularly interested in
the message that is returned by ioctl. Has anyone seen this
before and have any idea of how to remedy this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Brennan
