Bad Username

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

Just installed mgetty.  It does recieve the incoming calls, but it does
not let me use AutoPPP.  The following is the mgetty.ttys0 log.  it looks
fine.

But in the /var/log/messages, it says something about Bad Username.
Please take a look at the following logs.

conn='28800/ARQ', n
ame='', cmd='/bin/login', user='/AutoPPP/'

I used one of the regular login 'lhc' as my username on Win95 side.  But
it keeps saying that bad username.  What's wrong?

The following is how I put my /AutoPPP/ statment in login.conf.

/AutoPPP/ -     -       /usr/sbin/pppd auth modem crtscts lock -chap +pap
login proxyarp

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Looking forward to any help.

BTW, I'm running Linux 2.0.35 with IP_Masq enabled.  Just wanna be able to
dialup from somewhere to share the connection from my cable modem on my
Linux box.  Just wondering if mgetty would do the job.  I don't have any
valid IP address to give my 95 box once connected.  Would a 192.168.0.X
kind of IP do the job?  Please clarify.
