AutoPPP error

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

Here are a few things that may help...

chmod u+s /usr/sbin/pppd

The above line allows a normal user to run pppd (not sure how mgetty handles
the pppd.  If may not be needed.)

in the AUTO_PPP line in the login.config you may need more parameters to
start pppd.  for example my auto_ppp line looks as follows...

/AutoPPP/ -     a_ppp   /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login kdebug 7 debug 152.
20.5.11:152.20.5.5

Hope this helps...
