ssh over PPP; was Re: [TriLUG] rp3 on RH7.1___Dial-up config Script activation via sshd command prompt:call me lazy

[Michael Mueller]

Never mind; found the answer;  auth is default if a defaultroute is
defined; test1 does indeed have a defaultroute

config Script activation via sshd command prompt:call me lazy


: Any thoughts on this problem would be appreciated.  It seems
minor,
: but I'd like to be able to solve all minor problems.
:
: Objective:
: PPP between two local machines using null modem connection.
:
: Setup:
: 1. kernel compiled with PPP support; new kernel ported to all
: machines and regression tested OK
: 2. 50' null modem built and tested using mgetty on on one side and
: windows-based terminal emulator on the other
: 3. cable used to connect dev0 on /dev/ttyS0 and test1 on
/dev/ttyS0;
: mgetty deactivated in /etc/inittab on test1
: 4. entered: pppd -detach lock crtscts <local:remote> /dev/ttyS0
: 56000 on dev0 and test1
:
: Problem:
: on test1 I got the 2-line message:
: pppd: The remote system is required to authenticate itself but I
: pppd: couldn't  find any suitable secret (password) for it to use
to
: do so.
:
: - I can force this message on dev0 by entering "pppd auth".
: - I can eliminate this message on test1 by entering "pppd noauth"
: - the files /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets have no
: entries (both machines) which explains why the message above is
: displayed when the "auth" option is used
: - /etc/ppp/options has no "auth" option in it (both machines) that
I
: can find
: - logged in as root; there is no ~/.ppprc file that could contain
: the "auth" option
: - both machines are using pppd version 2.3.10

: : Can't get through the firewall if they won't let me through.

: :
: : Trivial?  Maybe if you've been there, done that, and got the

a

: :
: : I've also have mgetty working on ttyS0 for direct logins.
: :
: : Getting PPP to work over a null modem looks easy enough.  Just

: :
: : Getting PPP to work over a dial-up connection requires access to
: two

: scripts
: : look reasonable, but it's been years since I doinked a modem
(I've
: : been lulled into stupidity by using windoz).
: :
: : Then there's my obsession with reading 100s of pages of HOW-TOs
: : before issuing a handful of commands.  The PPP-HOWTO looks well
: : written.
: :
: : The nifty thing about your response is that you indicate ssh
over
: a
: : PPP is correct and trivial.  Knowing that helps a lot.
