[SuSE Linux] KPPP for SUSE 6.0 dying unexpectedly
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/09037314c44160dbf1a33008ebd537a0.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I'm having trouble with my KPPP for SUSE 6.0. Under 5.3 it worked like a charm, but this version is giving me a little trouble. I set it up as I did under the previous version. I'm using a local ISP, so all I had to set was the login ID and DNS settings--everything else was the default (as it was under SUSE 5.3). I tried telling it to use CHAP, SCRIPT BASED, PAP, Etc. Nothing works. It dials out just fine, but as soon as it connects, it comes back with a message that says "PPP daemon died unexpectedly". Does anyone have a clue as to why? I'm very anxious to get this working because as soon as I do, I can delete my Redhat 5.2 partition.

Sounds like you might want to press <help> when in kppp. Look for the FAQ section.

The kPPP developer has changed the locking of kppp. You need to remove the lock option from /etc/ppp/options. But this could cause trouble, if you also use ppp-up, wvdial or other dialers.

If you do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" will logging in to ISP the kerenl will return a message a PPP probalby because you do not have PPP have compiled in or as a module! Andrew Kroll wrote:

Possibly one or more things: 1. /etc/ppp/options has a line starting with "Lock".. delete it. 2. /etc/ppp/options has a line starting with "-XIP"... delete it. 3. everytime YaST is run it resets the permissions to /usr/sbin/pppd Do a "chmod a+sx pppd" on it. There is a line in the /etc/permissions file which has the default permissions for a bunch of files, including pppd. Changing it from ?754 to ?757 is supposed to prevent YaST from messing with it. But that doesn't work for me so everytime I use YaST I do a chmod on pppd. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
