Problem with dial-in

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

Hello -

I installed mgetty1.1.20-Jan17.tar.gz on RedHat 6 (2.2.5-25).  It
installed OK.  I want to be able to use it so I can dial into my home
office and see the whole network.  These are the steps I took:

/etc/inittab looks like this:

d2:12345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D -x7 ttyS1

I made my /etc/passwd look like this:

tcameron:x:500:100:Thomas Cameron:/home/tcameron:/usr/sbin/pppd

In my home dir, I have .pppdrc which looks like this:

-detach
modem
crtscts
lock
proxyarp

My /etc/ppp/option.ttyS1 looks like this:
:192.168.10.5

I configured my Windows NT 4.0 workstation to use clear text passwords
if necessary.  When I dial up from the Windows NT workstation, I get the
following messages in /var/log/messages:

What am I doing wrong?
Vielen Dank!
