Hello, I cannot login with modem connection to my SuSE 9.0 AMD 64 from a SuSE 8.1 system and other systems???, I don't know. The chat-script failed. I get the login prompt and can send the password and than fails the procedure, minicom cannot login also. The modem devices are "/dev/ttyS0" or/and "/dev/ttyUSB0". The way in return direction (9.0 --> 8.1) works for chat and pppd. I tested it with setuid-bit for pppd, but no success. If I login in a opened xterm via $ su - ppploginname than pppd server starts. If I login on ASCII console (Alt-Ctrl-F1) then pppd cannot start properly. No answer for pppd on stdout. Has anybody the same problem? Is there a bug in mgetty or/and pppd? My system is. username@mond64:~> uname -a Linux mond64 2.4.21-193-default #1 Thu Jan 22 16:49:48 UTC 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux username@mond64:~> The connection to the internet service provider works also. The direct connect without modem I didn't test. Gruss Lothar Hansche, Berlin
