Hey Group,

I'm needing to dial up to my SuSE 7.3 machine. Can't find much in the manuals about setting up the mgetty for dial in.

try man getty instead or man agetty

The agetty has a couple of examples. Dial in not out right?

...

Has anybody set up a dial in connection to a SuSE machine lately?? This is for a standard analog modem on a serial port.

Not dial up but a straight serial connection.

Hi David, You didn't look too far on the URL I gave you in the last reply. Have another look at this page http://alpha.greenie.net/mgetty/ Under the heading "Some pointers to other related sites on the Net..." You will see a number of pointer to AutoPPP and dialin examples. These document what you have to do to set up a dialin service. Also if you install the mgetty package there is a fair bit of info supplied in the setup files located in /etc/mgetty+sendfax. Regards Graham Smith

Hey Gang, Sounds pretty straight forward......thanks for that!! um, on more question......do I need to do something to user groups or permissions so that a user has the rights to dial in ppp or is the dial up access considered to be the same as a terminal login?? I have the modem answering, but for some reason I can't log in.....it just dumps me off. Maybe I don't have the right permissions??? Cheers Rich

# mo:235:respawn:/usr/sbin/mgetty -s 38400 modem

Uncomment the line and either change modem to ttyS0 (assuming your modem is COM1) or make sure /dev/modem is linked to ttyS0.

Type init q or reboot and you should be given a login when you dial in. Works well.
