Dear Tru64 Unix Managers,
I have an XP1000 running Tru64 UNIX V5.1 and I am trying to setup
a dial-in connection with a U.S. Robotics 56K external modem connected to
tty00 to make a ppp connection with a remote PC running Win98. I have
looked through the manuals and previous posts to tru64-unix-managers, but I
still haven't figured this out yet.
I am able to connect to the unix server from the PC using the windows
hyperterm application so I think that the hardware setup is O.K. Here are
some of the things I've tried...
1. added a line in /etc/remote as follows
modem:dv=/dev/tty00:br#115200:pa=none
2. added a line in /etc/inittab as follows
modem:23:respawn:/usr/lib/uucp/uugetty -r -t 60 tty00 115200
and did "init q" to get the process running.
3. set the modem to autoanswer, quiet mode, echo off, etc. as described in
section 6.3.2.1 of networking docs.
4. created a new account ppp with the following
ppp:*:200:15:Remote PPP access:/usr/users/ppp:/usr/sbin/startppp
listing for startppp file
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bin bin 1274 May 27 2036 /usr/sbin/startppp
the file contains only one non-comment line
exec /usr/sbin/pppd
listing for pppd
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root daemon 206608 Aug 24 2000 /usr/sbin/pppd
Contents of /etc/ppp/options file
asyncmap 200a0000 # XOFF, XON, and ^] (the default telnet escape)
escape 7e,7f,fe,ff,93 # 7-bit and 8-bit variants of rlogin escapes
# 0x93 is XOFF or-ed with top bit (0x80)
mru 296 # IP header plus 256 more octets
Contents of /etc/ppp/options.tty00 file

proxyarp
ms-dns 128.91.2.13
ms-dns 128.91.254.4
Contents of /etc/ppp/chap-secrets file
ppp hostname "secret password(s)"
When I dial from the PC, I hear the modems handshake and connect, but the
pppd never gets started and I don't get anything in the ppp log file
/etc/ppp/ppp-log
When I change the ppp account to login into a shell with
ppp:*:200:15:Remote PPP access:/usr/users/ppp:/usr/local/bin/tcsh
I can connect to the server from the pc, manually login via a terminal
window, and start the ppp daemon with
"/usr/sbin/pppd proxyarp"
The ppp connection starts and then dies and creates the following output in
the log file:
May 27 220824 host pppd[53461] pppd 2.3.1 started by ppp, uid 200

It seems to me that I am having a problem with the ppp authentication step,
but I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.
