LCP problem

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

Hi all,

I am trying to get a windows machine to log on automatically to my linux box
without scripts or any such things.

I have read my /var/log/messages file and it appears it is in fact the peer
which cannot establish the link. My messages file is as follows:

Apr 18 16:20:31 Prometheus pppd[108]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Apr 18 16:20:31 Prometheus pppd[108]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 18 16:20:31 Prometheus pppd[108]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS3
Apr 18 16:20:34 Prometheus pppd[108]: user andy logged in

Apr 18 16:20:40 Prometheus pppd[108]: LCP terminated at peer's request

Apr 18 16:20:41 Prometheus pppd[108]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Apr 18 16:20:41 Prometheus pppd[108]: Modem hangup
Apr 18 16:20:41 Prometheus pppd[108]: Connection terminated.
Apr 18 16:20:41 Prometheus pppd[108]: Exit.

I am correct in assuming then that it is a setting on the peer and not on
the server which is causing the Hangup. Or could it be some setting on the
server that the peer does not like?

However, If I change to pppd 2.3.5 without any config file changes it looks
like this :

Apr 18 16:54:18 Prometheus pppd[161]: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0
Apr 18 16:54:18 Prometheus pppd[161]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 18 16:54:18 Prometheus pppd[161]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS3
Apr 18 16:54:21 Prometheus pppd[161]: Connection terminated.
Apr 18 16:54:21 Prometheus pppd[161]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Apr 18 16:54:21 Prometheus pppd[161]: Exit.

Can anyone tell me what is going on here. I am not sure if the problem is on
the Peer (windows) or the server (linux). Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Kind regards
Andrew Higgs

P.S. mgetty is working great.
