[SuSE Linux] PPP connection
Hi everyone, I need your help on one problem. I used to connect to the Internet using Dial Up Networking in Win98, checking the option "Bring up terminal window after connecting". That is in a terminal window I give my username and password, after a string of weird characters appear and I press "continue", and within few seconds I'm connected. I recently switched on Linux (SuSE 6.0) and I'm here to stay - that's for sure. I tried to connect using a KDE tool, very similar to Dial Up Networking, and I also have the option of logging onto network using a terminal window - and everything works smoothly until I see the characters string and I press the "continue" button. In within seconds I get a message saying that "The pppd daemon ended unexpectedly" and I'm disconnected. Can you help me by telling what I should do? I'm not afraid to learn how to edit configuration files, so if you think I should'n use the KDE "dial up" environment and if you could suggest me an alternative way, I'm also very interested. Thank you very much.

Edit the file /etc/ppp/options and delete the `lock'. And read the kppp help.

I am not particularly fond of the kppp program although it does work and I know people use it here successfully. To me, there are a number of options you can use and still use kde overall. The easiest tool I have seen for dialups will not do the term window but all it creates is one file to edit when you use it. Check out wvdial which is included in the suse cds. Another one I particularly like is xisp. Xisp can be set to bring up a term window. I think others can give wisdom on why kppp does what it does. -- Michael Perry mperry@basin.com ---------------------- -- 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>>
Dan, In addition to what Stephan said you may want to su to root and "chmod a+xs /usr/sbin/pppd" Every time you run YaST it uses the /etc/permissions file setting to reset pppd. Change the setting in pppd so YaST won't reset it every time you run YaST. JLK Dan Tudor wrote:
