I'm trying to setup a dialup ppp server using only 1 real internet IP. Is this currently possible using Linux?
Currently, I have 2 ethernet adaptors, eth0 is the local network and eth1 is the internet. IP masquerading is working, so eth0 can access the internet through eth1. I also have Bind setup and running correctly. What do I need to do in order to get Linux to assign the dialup user a local ip (192.168.1.x), setup ip masq, and establish a ppp connection? I assume that I need to add entries to the /etc/hosts file and in bind. I'm confused on what IPs need to go into those files.. Here is what I have so far: (I have no idea if any of it is correct, but it currently does not work) /etc/hosts: 192.168.1.1 ppp1-serv.domain.net ppp1-serv 192.168.1.2 ppp2-serv.domain.net ppp2-serv .... /var/named/db.domain.net: .... serv IN A 198.109.162.43 ppp1-serv IN CNAME serv.domain.net. ppp2-serv IN CNAME serv.domain.net. .... /etc/ppp/options.ttyS1: serv:ppp1-serv /etc/ppp/options.ttyS2: serv:ppp2-serv .... /etc/ipmasq.conf: EXTERNAL_IP=198.109.162.43 EXTERNAL_NETMASK=255.255.255.224 INTERNAL_IP=( 192.168.100.2 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 ... ) INTERNAL_NETMASK=( 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 ... ) (192.168.100.* is the local network on eth1) Although this configuration may look correct, it is not. Here's a clip of my syslog: kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc. kernel: PPP line discipline registered. kernel: registered device ppp0 pppd[316]: pppd 2.3.3 started by LOGIN, uid 0 pppd[316]: Using interface ppp0 pppd[316]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 pppd[316]: PAP authentication failure for paul pppd[316]: Connection terminated. pppd[316]: Exit. I _DID_ enter the correct password! Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Help would be greatly appreciated.
