If you are not a member of this group, you will not be able to run -the ppp daemon (pppd) or make a dialup connection. Since KPPP's backend -runs SUID root, membership in the "dialout" group is not needed to access -device nodes. - -KPPP also requires that the ppp daemon be run with the "noauth" option. -However, pppd's default setting, in /etc/ppp/options, is "auth", and for -security reasons it should remain so. To work around this problem, uncomment -"noauth" in /etc/ppp/peers/kppp-options. You should then be able to connect. - -Note that if "noauth" is uncommented, a setting of "noauth" in -/etc/ppp/options will conflict with KPPP. Note also that uncommenting -"noauth" opens the possibility that other malicious members of the "dip" -group might potentially abuse the ppp daemon. - -Finally, if you are uncertain as to which device node represents your modem, -you can try to find out by running "dmesg | grep tty". The output of this -command will sometimes provide the needed hint. - -If the answer seems to be that your modem is on a node, such as ttyS28, that -KPPP does not accept as a configuration option, then you should create a -symlink from that node to /dev/modem (by running, as root, -"ln -s /dev/ttyS28 /dev/modem", where ttyS28 is replaced by whatever node your -modem is on). Then simply configure KPPP to use /dev/modem. Further modems -with non-standard device nodes can likewise be symlinked to /dev/modem[0-3]. - -If you use udev, then symlinks in /dev will not be preserved -across reboots. In this case, you should edit, as root, /etc/udev/links.conf, -adding a line that resembles "L modem /dev/ttyS28". You must then either -reboot, or run "/etc/init.d/udev restart", for the link to be created. - -If you believe that your modem node should be included in KPPP's default list, -and you are using a common type of hardware, you can always file a wishlist -bug against the kppp package, although the package maintainers maintain the -right to judge your device node too esoteric for inclusion. |
