mgetty

[Chadley Wilson]

Greetings guys
I am struggling to understand how this works and how to setup up the most 
simple form of mgetty. 
I have the default version that is included in in FC3 mgetty-1.1.31-2

Firstly what I am trying to do is this,
We test all out faulty modems at our support desk,
Instead of dialing out to an ISP and paying the phone bills, I would like to 
be able to dial-in using the the internal phone lines, to my server. 
I have equipped the server (an exaggerated PC)  with an external Duxbury Full 
Duplex 56K v90 serial modem
The modem is installed and configured and works on dial out.

The problem is that I have no understanding for how to get this working for 
dial-in.

Is there some getting started with mgetty advice anyone here could offer 
please?
Or if you prefer to use something else and can pass some advise on that, it 
would also be appreciated.

The TLDP how-to just covers thing I don't know about, I doesn't cover my 
specific senario. ( As I would understand it)

Thanks

Hi Raul,

I am prepared to assist as requested as soon as I get this puppy bedded 100%

Here is where I am at after following the instructions on the link provided 
earlier:

I dialup and I get to logging on to network then the mgetty just dies and 
kicks me out of my ssh session.

as you can see

[root@chadlap chadley]# ssh preload
root@preload's password:
Last login: Thu Feb 10 18:28:03 2005 from chadlap
[root@preload root]# /sbin/mgetty ttyS0 -D ttyS0 -s 115200
Connection to preload closed.
[root@chadlap chadley]#

How can I find out why it is dying on me and kicking me out of the ssh 
session?

I presume it has to do with the authentication but I can't seem to get it to 
authenticate.

I have allowed ppp0 on my firewall and I have also set a passwd for a user 
copied from the example also ppp

please could some-one more knowledgeable help out here!

Guys where can I join a chat site for help?
Seems this list has become impossible and no-one has time anymore!
The only chat site I was able to register on is jabber and there nothing going 
on there.
Has the whole world dropped Linux.
I must be mad,

All I need is a bit of direction with this dail-in server. 
it has one modem and one client connection at a time.

This cant be an unresolved issue. Yet I have seached so much web that I am 
scared I might burn firefox out.

Please will some one just tell me where I can get some active help?

Thanks in Advance

Start by using '-x 6' in the mgetty startup command. This will give you a lot
of debug info, probably in /var/log/messages. But perhaps in
/var/log/mgetty.log.ttyS1.

As usual I am confused. On a ppp server , which I assume preload is
 supposed to be, one starts mgetty by having a line in the /etc/initab
 file as follows:
 S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty  -s 115200 /dev/ttyS0

mgetty runs all the time. I am not sure how you logged in to preload
 without mgetty already running. Then there is a line in the
 /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.conf file the reads something like this:
 /AutoPPP/ -     a_ppp   /usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap -detach login

that causes mgetty to answer the phone and do the authentication
 using the information in the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file.

What are you really doing and why do you try to run mgetty after you
 are logged in?

OK as I have very little knowledge in this regard maybe you could offer some 
guidance.

I have since learned that it is better to have mgetty start fro inittab, so 
that it respawns automatically.
I have also learnt that my config dir is /etc/mgetty+sendfax/ which I was 
scared of initially, as I thought that was just for setting up a fax machine.

I am using ssh to configure the Server which is in the server room. thats why 
I logged in with ssh. 
I am dialing up from the same PC for testing pruposes.

I want to setup a dialin server with one access point only and it must be able 
to access the internet. The firewall I believe I can do by myself by 
masquerading ppp0

Here is where I am stuck now:

I know that there is some thing missing in login config I am just unsure of

OH and my options file /etc/mgetty+sendfax/dialin.config

OK now it almost works and it seems now it seems to have something to do with 
authentication.
here is /var/log/mesages

One more to add:

Feb 11 16:18:45 chadlap pppd[11930]: By default the remote system is required 
to authenticate itself
Feb 11 16:18:45 chadlap pppd[11930]: (because this system has a default route 
to the internet)
Feb 11 16:18:45 chadlap pppd[11930]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret 
(password) for it to use to do so.
Feb 11 16:18:45 chadlap pppd[11930]: (None of the available passwords would 
let it use an IP address.)

Is this on the client or the server side:

Preload is the server and chadlap is the dialup

HDD Errors

[Leonardo Maguetas Devai]

What is the possibility of a HDD being damaged if there is NO errors
acused in SMART, after a 'long' smart self-test session , but the kernel
is throwing me messages of

hdd: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

hdb: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdb: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

?
What can be happening??

Thanks!

When do these errors show up?  Is this during an install or operation or
what?

How are hda and hdc doing?  Presumably they are sharing the same cables.

Hi
hda and hdc are ok, no errors...
And the errors showed up at boot time... at least for now, the messages
ceased.
What do that messages mean? Is it probably a software error instead a
hardware error?

I hate replying to myself:
Here is a very good how-to:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/howto/pppserver.html#id2466532

Just one question, which I am unsure of, it says it will use my local passwd 
file. but how do I configure a user for dailin in the passwd file?
