Hi people.
I finally got ppp-up(thru yast) and masquerading to work. I just have three more things to solve before being HAPPY with it.
1. Right now, only root can start the connection. How can I let ALL users dial out? (the permission stuff, and which files?)
I added my normal user account to the dialout and uucp groups via yast and am able to dialout as a non-root user.
2. How can I define my own set of modem init strings? (which file)
Sorry, I can't help you there. Maybe you can take a look at the individual scripts the /etc/ppp directory. When I set up my connection as directed by the ppp-howto, I created a script that had some modem init values in it, maybe if you check out the howto, it'll point you the the right file
3. Where and how can i set the MTU? Currently set to 1500, but I would like to make it lower. Anybody have suggestions on the best MTU settings for a 56K modem?
I think that MTU and MRU are set in the /etc/ppp/options file. I just checked and that's where you set it. Use mru ### and mtu ### to set the values. I don't know how yast sets up ppp, but the modem init string appears to be in the ppp-on-dialer script from the ppp-howto. There's a line that reads like: OK ATDT$TELEPHONE where ATDT is the init string (I think) and $TELEPHONE is your isp's ph #.
