Re: PPPD error message?
Hi,
Great timing guys I just solved the problem 2 days ago.
Well I, compiled the mgetty myself using the defult and I got some
strange things.
When using the cua for pppd and ttys for mgetty, pppd did a login...
when I tried to use ttys for both the modem start working but mgetty,
got in the why and made a reset.
The problem is, after looking in the sourc, the defult locking path of
mgetty is
"/usr/spool/uucp/LCK..ttyS" and pppd use "/usr/spool/locks" or
"/var/lock" , the first is a symbolic link.
I don't have pppd source so, changing the lock path of mgetty to one of
the above, and making sure all programs that use the comms use the same
locking path, will solve the problem.
Hope I helped.
Bye
Gal.
