Description of problem:
When a ppp client connects to a ppp server running under Redhat 7.1, the
modems negotiate the carrier signals, and then the server hangs up.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have one machine try to connect to a Redhat 7.1 ppp server via a modem
and login with the userid ppp.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  The ppp server hung up on the ppp client.

Expected Results:  The ppp server should have completed the login process
and allowed a ppp connectioin to be established.

Additional info:

I got the following output from syslog.

pppd[1891]: using the noauth option requires root privilege
login(pam_unix)[1879]: session closed for user ppp
mgetty[7881]: TIOCMBIS failed: Input/output error
mgetty[7881]: cannot turn off soft carrier: Input/output error
mgetty[7881]: tcgetattr failed: Input/output error
mgetty[7881]: cannot get TIO: Input/output error
mgetty[7881]: init chat failed, exiting...: Invalid argument
mgetty[7881]: failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyS5, pid=7881
mgetty[7882]: failed dev=ttyS5, pid=7882, got signal 15, exiting

I was able to work around this problem by taking the 'noauth' command line
option out of the 2 /usr/sbin/pppd commmands starting at line 74 of
/usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/ppplogin.

Comment 1 Thomas Woerner 2004-08-13 09:30:07 UTC
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora
Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs.

Closing as "not a bug" for now.
