This is really odd. I finally fixed my PPP server this morning(/etc/mgetty/login.defs had bad permissions) and I wanted to change the IP address that the DNS is but pppd kept saying "too few arguements" and would disconnect immediately, it would only work with the original IP(which is on another network)
this is what i got goin now /AutoPPP/ - a_ppp /usr/sbin/pppd auth login debug crtscts modem ms-dns 208.222.179.31 lock proxyarp (my local ip):(remote ip assigned to modem) I want to change the 208.222.179.31 to the local ip, so i change it and it gives "too few arguments": Jan 13 09:23:01 kirk pppd[1526]: too few parameters for option ms-dns the local IP is also a real ip, part of a registered network, and is eth0 on the same machine. It would also be nice to setup WINS for win* clients although its by no means a requirement, when i try that i get the same: Jan 13 09:33:22 kirk pppd[1610]: too few parameters for option ms-dns when i specify ms-wins <WINS server> also, the system is not detecting when the line hangs up, i logged off 8 minutes ago and it still shows the connection, i suspect its the modem im gonna play with INIT strings or swap modems and see whats goin on, wondering if i can use idled to terminate the connection after being idle for XX minutes? or does that not work on serial lines? i figured it would.. runnig debian 2.1r4 linux 2.2.10(self compiled) pppd 2.3.5 on a diamond supramax(or is it supraexpress?) 56i sp modem(internal), using a creative labs modem blaster(winmodem) 56k from win9x to test the connection with. ideas?? thanks! nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 9:49am up 146 days, 21:50, 1 user, load average: 0.27, 0.31, 0.30
