[pptp-server] sorry, forgot to mention

[Emir Toktar]

sorry, forgot to mentionOk, I read this in README.linux (ppp-2.3.11). I hope that help you.



"To talk to the new driver, pppd needs to be able to open /dev/ppp,

character device (108,0). If the special file node /dev/ppp is not

present, pppd will create it. However, if you are running with /dev

on a read-only filesystem, pppd will not be able to create /dev/ppp.

In that instance you should manually create /dev/ppp using the command

`mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0'.

If you use module autoloading and have PPP as a module, you will need

to add the following to your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules:

alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async

alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty

alias char-major-108 ppp_generic

  The only error messages I get in the logs are 
  Can't locate module char-major-5 
  Can't locate module char-major-108 

  What are these modules for and where to find them? 
  Thanks again.

  Importance:     High 

  Hi everybody, 
  I am baffled by the following problem. 
  Here is what I have: 
  SERVER SIDE 

  Red hat 6.1 
  Pptpd 1.0.0 
  Pppd 2.3.10 
  Mppe patch for 40 bit encryption applied 

  The modules load and register properly ( can see the corresponding lines in the logs) 

  CLIENT SIDE 

  Windows 98 SE 
  Usual stuff + use defaullt gateway on network and IP header compression CHECKED 

  PROBLEM: 

  If Require Data Encryption is UNCHECKED, everything works fine, I could see everybody else and they could see me in the NN

  If Required Data Encryption is CHECKED (I need data encryption) , I could logon, ping everything at the other end by IP address and by name BUT NOTHING in the NN. I can't map any drives because it can't find the computers. I have ms-dns and ms-wins in the /etc/ppp/option file. The file is as follows:

  name xxxxx 
  debug 
  auth 
  ms-dns DNS SEREVR IP 
  ms-wins WINS SERVER IP 
  netmask 255.255.255.0 
  lock 
  chap 
  +chap 
  +chapms 
  +chapms-v2 
  defaultroute 
  proxyarp 
  mppe-40 
  mppe-128 
  mppe-stateless 



  If anyone knows what is causing this or had similar issues before please help in resolving this problem. The only error I see in the logs is something like 

  Modprobe: can't locate module mod-char-5. Is it relevent? 
  Looking forward to hear from you and thanks a lot for the past help.
