AutoPPP with mgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I just switched from getty_ps to mgetty 1.0.0 and am quite pleased with the
results. I have a question about AutoPPP. I have several dialup users that use
Win95, when I use the AutoPPP feature the client connects and logs in fine.
They can get to any IP address out there, but it's as though named doesn't
work. The domain name that the dialup machine's name is
"bubber.atlanta.itserve.com". If I ping "bubber.atlanta.itserve.com" from the
Win95  box, it sees it fine, if I ping "bubber" it doesn't find the IP address.

If I don't use AutoPPP and just let the users log in and run a script to fire
off pppd it works fine. I don't have any name lookup failures.

Any Ideas?
