<header>PPP Dialin Server</header>
|
|
|
|
This module allows you to setup your Linux machine with an attached modem
|
|
as a dialin server that allows other machines to dial up to it, login and open
|
|
PPP sessions. It can also be used to allow logins and PPP connections from
|
|
another machine connected directly to yours via a null-modem cable. <p>
|
|
|
|
In order to setup dialin access, you must follow these steps :
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>In the Serial Port Configuration page, add an entry for the port on
|
|
which your modem is connected. The will start Mgetty on that port to
|
|
automatically answer phone calls received by your modem, and display
|
|
a login prompt. If all you want to do is allow text-only logins via
|
|
modem or from a dumb terminal, this is the only step that you need to
|
|
do. <p>
|
|
|
|
<li>In the PPP Options page, set the IP address that will be assigned
|
|
for connecting clients and any other options that you need. The most
|
|
useful is 'Automatically detect PPP connections on serial ports?', which
|
|
will cause any client that immediately starts a PPP session after
|
|
connecting to skip the usual text-based unix login. However, if this
|
|
option is turned on then you should also enable 'Require authentication?'
|
|
to prevent untrusted clients from connecting. <p>
|
|
|
|
<li>If authentication is enabled, use the PPP Accounts page to create accounts
|
|
for all the people that you want to allow login by. For each account,
|
|
the server should be set to 'Any' and the valid addresses to 'Allow any'.
|
|
<p>
|
|
</ol>
