I`am trying to make a dialin linux server. I want that people
with win95 could dialin in to my server only using a password
and a username but without a login script.
I am using linux redhat 4.2 mgetty and pppd. I have recompiled
mgetty with the option autoppp. I have edited the configuration
file according to the indication that i have read in the net.
When i try to connect to the linux server from the win95 station
the modem on the server answer immediately but when it try
to verify username and password it fails and disconnect the line.
I have tried to change many times the configuration file
but the result is the same.
Could anyone help me?
Thank you
